For front men, it's all about size and weight. Something to the effect of the Freestlye, Speed 05, Shocker (before 03, who'da thought we'd be speaking of the Shocker as a small, lightweight frontman's marker :D), something to that effect. Backmen aren't so concerned with size and weight as their bunkers are generally larger and they do less sprinting, diving, etc,. Their main concern is speed and accuracy, and they lean towards very fast, LP markers, like the A4 Fly, Matrix, Ego, timmy, whathaveyou. Basically any modern electro will suit players in about any position, but front men may be more concerned with having something small and light.

Back players may be concerned with efficiency, also.

Keep in mind that player positions are pretty fluid these days. Players who start in back may be diving into snakes later in the game. Fronts sometimes need to live behind their guns, never letting off the trigger.

agreed - to tell you the truth the way wall is going you may wanna find yourself a good allarounder - and in my opinion timmies seem to be the general winner - although the newer angels are following suit

Shockers are very much a frontmans gun as its superlight although when i had one i wasnt struck on it as it didn't seem to fire "true"

The viking which im firing at present feels too much like a back mans markers - fired very true, incredibly efficient just slightly heavy - never the less its probably the best marker ive fired so i can conpensate the weight faults.

which leads onto the point of finding a marker that feels comfy - i know fronts that refuse to get rid of their impys because it feels right for them
