General marker advise please

Hello people at planet eclipse.

I am after a new marker. I currently have an etek4 but I want something quieter. I have been looking at a 2nd hand geo 3 with iv core, the gtek and the etha. Had the etha before for a short period and thought it was a nice enough marker.

I play woodsball and looking at doing a tournament next year. I can't say I play around with settings that much so would I really benefit from a geo or gtek? I like the quieter sounding markers as I'm more of a sneaky player.

Any chance of some advice on what would best suit me?

Hi @ckennedy

Well the Gtek is Quieter than the Etek and the Geo is quieter than the Gtek

Both guns are very easily maintained I would say if you can get a cheap enough Geo3 second hand I would do that as the Geo is better on brittle paint has LCD display as well as many other benifits

Thanks for the advice still a bit torn on what to go for :s

Are there any worth while mods I should take into consideration with them? I currently have a deadly wind carbon barrel to use on what ever I get next. But anything else?

Well sounds like you need a spool for a start as they are inherently quieter than a poppit due to the nature of their operation.

A Geo is a natural choice if you are a planet fan. With regard to upgrades you have a barrel system so a core IV bolt for the Geo, there are aftermarket boards available but I don't think there is a discernible performance increase for the money they are.

High performance o'rings for either marker if you believe the hype. Failing that just a proper tune up and play!!!

You can't go wrong with a Geo as you are stepping up from mid range markers to top end.

IV core for the Geo that's about it really, Our markers are usually the best they can be when we release them

Thank you for the advice I have sold my etek 4 today so I'm now on the hunt for something else. Decisions decisions

I presume the gtek is quieter and more efficient than the etha?

 

[STONESOLDIER]

and softer on paint yes

 

[ckennedy]

Cool I think it's between the gtek and geo. Now just to make my mind up which :s need on by next weekend though so I need to be quick

If you can get a geo buy that and the core 4 if it doesnt have it.
