Perfect marker(s)?

[-Tris-]

Hey all,

Well I havent used many markers, and so don't know how well they proform each, how they feel ect. So, I was wondering wether you guys with more experience could help me find what I'm looking for as I'm looking to upgrade kit soon (got a nice chunk of cash comming soon)

Im after a marker that:
Has a light/bouncy trigger (a flat one too, no nasty double triggers or single)
Has a fast BPS
Light in weight
Has a foregrip (the little handle thingy where the hose usually run up inside)
Can use the gas tank as a stock
Runs on CO2 (Must have requirement)
Can be picked up 2nd hand

Now I doubt that there are probably not any markers out there that comply with this list so any adivice is good advice

Cheers for your help,
Tris

move into pump play - it's more elegant than semis - most pump markers (incl. phantom, carter buzzard, snipers etc ) run on co2, which can bee anti siphon or siphoned in. it would be a good move, and would certainly fit all criteria (except high bps!) and would improve your play... just an idea...

Dont worry yorgie, im still interested in the marker you have, just looking for another for a diffrent style of play, I mean atm I have some reliable markers, but they dont nessecarily match all the specs above ^^

dude - sorry - the marker's gone... it wasn't a shameless plug to sell a marker for once - pump play is fun!

Maybe try a second hand impy? They run on CO2 and go for pittance on these boards.

theres a few tippman a5's on here at the min and im sure these can run on co2.

The problem your going to have is the CO2 part of the request. Because CO2 is cold in use, if you try to fire fast repeatedly, your gun will simply freeze up.
When running my mech cocker in the early days, it would turn to ice at about 6-8 Bps and in case your wondering about how fast that is, we tried a Tippman competition over the chrono and no-one could beat 5 bps.
They state Ions can handle CO2 but i severely doubt they can sustain rapid fire on it? Probably as has already been stated that an Impy may be your best bet, but then they are not light either.
It's your call really as to what you want as nothing will match all your requirements, so you'll have to comprimise somewhere

If I recall correctly, Tris did have an Impulse

i thought he had a diablo / mongoose or something like that and an inferno...

Well he DID have one.
