Looking for some marker advice :)

Cheers for the advice , I've already ordered my mask and and bought a second hand rotor. Il probo keep an eye out for a second hand speedball style marker,. Also What's the score with filling bottles at sites? Is it mostly air they provided. I think my nearest sites combat paintball in northwold or thetford.

Most sites still run on co2 (A HPA system is expensive to install and not really cost effective for smaller sites ) you only generally get sites with HPA systems if they do walkons or other events though some sites will get air in bottle form for walkons instead of owning and running a system.

You will normally expect air at sites that are on the walkon or event circuits.
Sites that are exclusively rental may run co2

I've not been to combat paintball, but going by their video on the website I would guess the rental cylinders in use are air, plus there are players with fibre air and the website says they run monthly walkons

I would say more people use speedball style guns than milsim style simply because players do other style events as well.

I have to agree with this.
The generation of coming into Scenario using Milsim type or marker is slowly starting to die, Generally to do with the speed of fire then anything.
Many people will go buy a Speedball capable marker to be able to throw as much paint back as they take. I don't believe there is many teams left that solely use the Milsim style anymore.

Don't put co2 in a tourney style marker, as I believe it can cause damage.

Not quite an accurate statement there as you can get tourney style mech markers that will quite happily run on co2, and saying that you have some milsim style markers that won't run on co2 as they have electro innards. The rule of thumb is don't run any electro pnumatic markers on co2.

Thanks for clearing that up BOD ,

Cool cool,ive decided on a speedball style marker. The maneuverability and fire rate seems far superior to anything else.
Il keep an eye out on the for sale section and see if anything turns up , cheers for the advice.

Check out Planet Eclipse Ego markers - pretty bombproof and fires great stock.

Hi there.

I've been to a few punter days and loved it . I'm looking to get some of my own gear so I can start hitting up walkons.
I think my local field has sup-air and woodsball days, I may also go to a few scenarios in the future. I've been looking at the following markers.
Empire axe
Invert mini
Dye dm13

Have anyone got any advice on these?

Cheers will

Out of those three I'd reccomend the Axe or DM13 if you have the cash
