1: Nexus series (top of the range, no front block, lighter with QEVS in car terms its a Merc 55 AMG
2: 2004 Factory, unlike the 2003 has no front block either, so its lighter, but cant cycle as fast as an nexus in car terms its a Merc 500CL
3: 2004 Pro Series, not milled that much standard bolt and internals, good but not up to the standard of the two above, its an S class

The evo's are all belsales markers, with or without the planet or race frames., I am sure others will give you more info on these.

I shoot a 2003 factory (used to be Al Woods's marker) the best thing I have found about buying second hand from a pro is that they set the trigger and internals as best they can, they also tend to look after their markers. I would go with the classifieds like Jose said, you can pick up a belting deal, as with cars they lose there intial value after the first shot.

Pro? Professional whitey thrower, nothing more, nothing less:p

The best bet is to turn up at a tournament, and try all the above guns,. You will find that people are often more than willing to let you have a few shots of the gun, and will talk you through the pros and cons of their markers. You will get a far better idea of what they are liek by doing this, as the users have nothing to gain by sexing up their guns, and will give you an honest report of what they like/dislike abourt their markers. Just make sure that when you talk to players you take into account whether or not they are sponsored by the company whose gun they shoot.....you will egt a biased view. Novice players are often the best to talk to as they would encounter the same problems/benefits as you will encounter.:)

On the other hand, Novice players can also be very gat biased. If a guy spends a G on a new marker, hes not gonna go slagging it off or he'd look like a fool for spending tha cash :p

You'll always find that people will stand up for what they own, some to a higher degree than others.

As Sam said, go try as many as you can blag. Then decide for yourself :)

I would really reccomend buying second hand- depreciation is horrendous initially!

I've had an 03 factory for 1 year now- touch wood, i've never chopped a single ball in that whole year or hadn a single fault with the gun!

Either Eclipse or Belsales markers will offer you astonishing performance, they are virtually identical apart from the milling.

A Race frame will give you a more conventional grip frame which will prove familiar to your hand- very fast frames (need an eye Imo)

An E-blade frame has a lovely trigger feel, initially strange feel of the grip due to it's unique design- however i got used to it real quick and anything else feels strange.

I'd reccomend an eclipse- they look as good as they shoot!

Im confused as to why an E-Blade cant achieve the "High rates of fire of an A4"? They can, thats the simple answer...

Cockers more accurate? Maybe...but they are more accurate at high rates of fire than Angels seem to be...other than that, really its just paint/barrel/air consistency...

get a evo m8 as you only have to go down the road to get it fixed/timed if you need to that is :) and you will only need it if you play with the seting's /dive all over the place

iv how had mine for 1year and it's still sweet as a nut yust put eblade on it i wood say that's your bets bet as thay rock

but bell seals will fix/time all cocker's as well if u buy one 2nd hand you may well need to get it re time as a lot of guy's play with there seting and mess it up :rolleyes: best of luck man if u play g any time soon shot him for me ;)
