Softest marker on paint?

I have recently owned an Ego7, DM7 and Angel 1.

The angel, i can't honestly remember the last time I broke a ball, but I have only ever really used decent paint (draxxus blaze) and I believe it is as much to do with that as anything.The only time i had trouble was when my loader went down once mysteriously and I borrowed a pulse for the day, which gave me nothing but soup and spray from the same marker, but a v35 halo never gave any trouble at all.

the ego and dm didn't seem to break any more or less than each other. there are too many variables. you would need to use the same air bottle, same loader, fresh batteries and several markers along with the same batch of paint to give you any conclusive results.
But the same loader, bottle, loader and fresh batteries for each test would not be an issue for someone who is doing the comparison in a semi scientific way.

The way I see it is that if you had the oppertunity to test various markers that are setup & run in to perfection in stock form by the specific manufacturer with a specific make of large bore barrel and several examples of very brittle paint, you could get some reasonably reliable results?

same as everyone i got to agree by far the angel a1 because of the bolt its a like rubbery material.

Plus you can choose the settings on the board.

Like if its fragile paint or hard paint.

The angel 1 soft face bolt, is actually the same as the face of the new Alien marker, I believe that they designed it together. The bob long soft face bolt is also incredibly soft on paint.

There's a video of Maximus shooting chilled hellfire through an Angel1. Can anyone find it?
Is that the one where he is in the WDP factory and takes the piss?
Like he gets the temperature gun thing and goes "hay look, the paint is -352 degrees" and its just a bit of card stuck over the screen saying -352.

Edit: Heres the actual one:

Trying to find the funny edit version.

Edit 2:

Ahh, thats great.
