I think people are looking at this 2 different ways.
Lump is asking 10 markers that have come into the Uk or been done in the UK
meaning Anno jobs,laserwork or things like that.
Most people seem to have read it as the 10 markers (types).
Like I say I think he means 1 off markers and ltd run guns,but then again I could be wrong.

Yeah.
Its a paradoxical question I think people chose to answer it in a way that makes sense.
The question was 'which one off laser engraving or milling pattern will go down in British paintball history' the answer is clearly 'none'.
Special milling went out the window in 2005 when manufacturers decided it was too much effort.
Laser engraving is a deeply shallow attempt at individuality.
In the same way as emo kids on myspace express their individuality by being exact carbon copies of eachother.

Gassy had it how i ment it, but it reads as the list has happened. but im interested in how its working out. i never shot half of the markers these guys are listing. so always nice to hear what the old timers shooti can see what you're saying there gassy, we all read it the way it was written.
Well here's this old timers list (I guess in age order)so always nice to hear what the old timers shoot
Line SI Bushmaster (never got to own one but always wanted to after I tried a mates. I had the Mayhem Merlin as my first gun, a poor clone)
Phantom (same as above)
Sterling STP (best pump I've ever shot)
VIP Autococker (some of JW's earliest work, managed to get my stock cocker shooting as consistently on CO2 as a mag a rare feat in them days)
Eclipse 'Cocker
Eclipse E-Blade (still shooting them, still loving them)
MiniMag
Sovereign II
B2K
Oh and I'd add the PMI-3 onto my list but only because it was my first semi-auto; heavy, crude but tons of fun, (20oz on the back 7oz on the front...and these youngsters worry about a few grams of weight here and there)
1) Daystate Mk III - Anyone nearer 40 probably had one of these in their hands at one point. (and it was smaller Cal!, nothing new with that stuff)
2) Custom Concepts Phantom - The first gun to be a 'proven tourney winner'
3) Sterling - Dave Galsworthy produced probably the finest pump ever.
4) Auto-mag Lvl 5 - It came in a Box!!! It had instructions!!
5) Evo-Cocker - Belsales sorted it out, we loved them.
6) Apex inferno - stand up reliability for the site owner, nice - semis for everyone!
7) Angel V6 - It started the revolution.
8) Angel 4 - LCD/Eyes/vert grip/programmable. WDP ticked all the boxes.
9) Timmy - Over under became fashionable as it worked at last!
10) Gen-e Matrix - The spool valve cometh, and it stayeth!
I think they were ground breakers at their time, they all had an impact, and most of us probably used at least one of these when they broke cover.

Sorry mate, angels get my vote.
To me this isn't really comparable? Angels dominated the market for years, making a worldwide flagship marker based out of rainy old birmingham! Ego just jumped on the wagon and make a marker which was nothing new by any standards but relatively good and reliable, of course they became successful, but IMO Planet Eclipses success from their marker range is shadowed by WDP.
Just my tuppence.
