HI,All,
I have got just under £500 to spend on a new gun and was stuck as what to get, my choices at the moment would be Etek 2,Angel One or a Shocker NXT, oh what about a Invert Mini for half that price? Any comment or suggestions would be appreciated Thanks,
STUBBY

If you dont mind buying secondhand you could also consider a 2007 ego or at a push 2008 ego,probably one of the most rock solid tourny guns out there and also super reliable.

I had a chain of gats before i found a few i liked.. id suggest just using them seeing if you like them or you stand to loose money on them reselling them :D...

My only advice would be buy a secondhand marker and dont spend anything else on it. If it would need upgrades get something else. And do not get a cocker :D their not for the faint hearted..

Also remember if your getting completely kitted out then you will need a hopper and air tank as well as a mask. That will add an extra £100+ to your total

Tbh most high end guns will perform very similar so, as nige said, it's down to how it feels for you but if the £500 is just for the gun you could easily get a DM8 or a ego 08 or something similar from the classifieds section. Just remember you will need other kit, most importantly comfortable safe goggles.

EDIT: Really shouldn't open a thread then come back to it a few minutes later and not refresh :(

Thanks for the advice guys i`ve already got an Epiphany and was wanting a new gun that was all. I`ve already got a hopper,goggles etc the gun was for tourney play and the field we play is known for it`s mud so would like a gun thats pretty robust and easy to maintain.

Ego is probably the easiest but something from the dm/pm range will perform lovely aswell if you give it a little tlc :) If you're already at a site ask people if you can borrow theirs for a game or two.
