Worst designed marker of all time
- Thread starter chunk
- Start date
Does anyone know the electrovolt marker that runs purely of electricity to generate the pressure its made in a bullpup design and the battery pack only holds enough electricity to fire 500 balls sure i would agree it is a new step but i believe its slightly impractical i just cant decide whether its good or bad so you decide

I'd have to nominate the Top Gun.

Made by California Paintball Supply in the late '80s it had a barrel and Q/C held on by spring loaded pins that allowed both to wobble or even drop off in game, a rear pin that blocked the 'sights' and a Q/C that could be unscrewed at the chrono to give a large velocity jump when tightened on field. Add a body made of cottage cheese hardness alloy, a dodgy set of internals and a ropey Q/C and you have an instant classic.
My favourite bit about reading the review in an early UK mag was that after listing all these flaws and more and being rude about it's performance to boot they then went on to say it was all right really
And the Golden Eagle may seem a bit clunky now but when they first came out over here they rocked so hard- you needed big ol' arms to carry one with a 20oz and hopper but the feeling of power was awesome.

Not flaming you but putting up this argument.......
"If they are the worst then why can you still buy them now 20 years later"?
Compared to the Brass eagles, sheridans, splats, etc they rocked, even on CO2
was it not the brass eagle blade that used to explode cause it was so cheap?

Well...
I would have to nominate the BE silver eagle for worst gun ever, heavy, ridiculously complicated, ugly as sin, and the hammer and valve assembly had to be removed to get the tool out required to remove the bolt...

And so taking into account the problems with the originals, they put twice the pressure into it, and voila!was it not the brass eagle blade that used to explode cause it was so cheap?
