Whats the worst marker ever made?

[Mark Toye-Nexus]

You guys did win that game though.

GZ were everyone's whipping boys that tournament (too much funny biccies). Richmond played too, couldn't have had much fun.

Worst marker? Illustrator was bad, Icon Z1 rubbish, Sovereign (I owned one) double rubbish.

The Patriot sits low on my least loved too.

For all time worst, there was a very early semi (early 90s maybe) that had a double action trigger - trigger moved the bolt back and forward too and meant you needed muscles like Robo to cycle it. i dont think many made it out into the real world but I have seen one (Dan at Skirmish SE has(d) one as a 'museum' piece).

Anyone know its name?

The Brass Eagle Jaguar was a double action.

I almost forgot the plague on the paintballing world that was the ION.

Gun of shame please go to the back of the line....

Well, two of my personally owned, favourite markers are currently on the list! (Thunderbolt and Daystate S.A.M Patriot).

I propose the GZ1000, Tigershark, VM68 (although you could always use it to hammer fence posts in), as has been already said any BE marker in the 80's/early90's, basically anything heavy or made of plastic exculding the Splatmaster!!!

As many failings as the Ion had,it introduced a hell of a lot of players who otherwise couldn't afford an electro marker market and to be able compete on a level playing field.Before the Ion the cheapest budget electro was those horrid e-framed blowbacks from Kingman masquerading as real electronic markers & selling for £300+ .

I didn't like my Thunderbolt at all,it never seemed to have a smooth pump stroke or crisp trigger feel regardless of how i adjusted it and the less said the better about the feedneck and barrel latch.

The Thunderbolt i had was supplied by Mayhem who had the Merlin out at the same time. Both Nelspot clones and the Merlin was the favoured one of the two at the sites i was playing but i got a Thunderbolt for cheap as a guy won it at a local village fete and didn't know what it was worth or what to do with it! It never let me down.

Whacked a bottom line on it, changed the springs and it was great. Took out many, many posers with Automags with my trusty Thunderbolt! Only got rid of it a couple of years ago.

I disliked pumps so much (at the time) i can remember rushing out to get a Brass Eagle Poison as soon as i saw the ad in PGI and which turned out to be utter rubbish then replacing it with a Tippmann Pro-Am which wasn't much better.
Not long after everything sorted itself out in the end when i got a L7 Automag with all the trimmings not long after they were introduced into the UK........god i was like the cat that got the cream at my local site's.
