hi, i'm in the process of buying my first marker (a DM5) and just wondered what would be a good hopper and air bottle

i've been warned not to get an egg (not sure why) and i havent got a clue what psi bottle would be best

cheers kitson
Depends what your price range is really, a steel 3000psi tank is around £40 and egg's are good for a starter hopper. I have the Empire Reloader 2 as my first, but havnt used it yet

TBH mate, egg's are a real good hopper is you get the egg 3 with Z board. They can hold up to 195 balls and feed as fast as u wud ever need them to.

For an air tank i wud (depending on your price range) go for a fiber wrapped tank as they are loads lighter. If you got a steely im sure you will want to upgrade in the near future so to save cash go for a fiber one off the start. :D

Hope it helps ;)

there's nothing wrong with an egg only if its the egg 3 with the z board. and since tournamnets are capped at 12 the egg will be fine.
and as they have said a tank depends on your budget.

yep i think you'll be better of by avoiding stakos. nothing wrong with them they cant stand flash filling.
you'll be able to get a decent 2nd hand egg of cliff.
i think.:)
