They are both mechanical. Get the enmey, it's a better markerI've owned both, I can truly say that if you're looking for a good starting electronic marker get the enmey, where as if you're playing woods ball, the gryphon would dominate in accuracy and with a quick trigger finger you can send a pod down the field in less than 20 seconds. I find that starting off with a mechanical marker will improve your knowledge of paintball whereas starting with an electronic marker may be abit more "technical" for a newer type player.
The eNMEy is a mech, not electronic and given quality paint will be as accurate as any other marker, regardless of cost.I've owned both, I can truly say that if you're looking for a good starting electronic marker get the enmey, where as if you're playing woods ball, the gryphon would dominate in accuracy and with a quick trigger finger you can send a pod down the field in less than 20 seconds.

The eNMEy electro upgrade frame hasn't been released yet. Are you sure you didn't have an eNVy (physically similar to the eNMEy but with a double-triggered electro frame)? The Gryphon is a simple blowback semi (effectively the same the the Tippmann 98 internals), rather than the fully pneumatic spool valve eNMEy. It's a far more basic marker, regardless of where you're playing.This is the Enmey I had. Upgraded, sure, but in woodsball the gryphon wins handsdown everytime.
- Electropneumatic Upgrade Path – Not to be confused with “sear tripper” electronic grip frames for hammer-and-spring paintball markers, the optional eNMEy electronic trigger upgrade provides true electropneumatic operation for increased rates of fire, more firing modes and an even lighter trigger pull.
