Hi all,

I have been paintballing at walkons and diamond wars for almost a year now with my tippmann x7 phenom and i feel that i also want to get involved in tournament paintball starting with practicing at an a ball arena, i had an slg for a short period of time but it really didn't suit me and didn't shoot how i wanted so now i'm looking for another gun.

It needs to be reliable and fit for a tournament, (right modes etc)

I was thinking of buying an invert mini or a PE etha. Does anyone else have any other suggestions or would one of these be your choice?

Depends on your budget mate, all the suggested markers are good choices... A mini would be your cheapest option, around the £120/ £150 mark, great little markers and simple to maintain... A etek 3 or etha will cost you a little bit more, around the £200/ £250 mark but are very good markers and if you are planning on playing tournaments there will no doubt be a pe tech who will gladly help you out...

yep, looking to spend between 150-200 pounds, i already have an air system and a rotor so thats all good, i liked the etha due to the fact you could add the body kit as well so you can convert it between game types, my mate also has a mini so we might be able to advise each other if we both had one.

As much as i'd like an etek it's a little out of my price range, after shooting my mates mini today it has persuaded me so i think that will be my final choice.

One more question, what thread is the invert as i've got an autococker nightstick already?
