Macdev presence in the UK

[Castaway]

Hi all,

I used to shoot Macdev clones back in the day and was looking to pick up a Prime XTS. Does anyone know whether Macdev's are represented in the UK much? Is there a Macdev subsidiary/ tech centre in the UK? Anyone know what a used XTS should cost?

I have been out of the game for several years, and it seems that the majority of people are shooting PE.. Having shot the Ego 11 and then Geo 2 I completely understand their appeal, but was surprised with how dominant PE seems to be today! How come?

Cheers,
S

PE is the most reliable and if you asked me what to buy, id say planet as my default answer.

MacDev is realtively small in terms of users in the UK - i beleive they have techs but my question would be why go there when planet is a UK based company.

If you can deal with teching your own marker, then get whatever / if you think youll need support then support local

Thanks for the response, I've had positive experiences with PE so agree about reliability. I guess I was looking at it from a cost perspective

Cost of a reliable gun - 1000

Cost of cheaper brand - 800 (plus the cost of repairs 500)

Numbers are made up but factor that in.

Jak is the UK rep, Brandon ( I think) is the UK tech for Macdev

Hi all,

Had a few days of catching up with the 'updates' that markers have had since I took a break.

I think I might be leaning toward a Luxe in the end. What are people's thoughts on them? Is there a genuine difference between the ICE and X? Seems to me that it's just a bit of a different sound and 2 more pods worth of air.

Cheers,
S

The Luxe ICE is the latest itteration of the Shocker SFT Bolt system.

The X is more akin to the Planet CS2 gamma core.

Thanks for this James - I did read up on this a bit. In your opinion does that justify the extra cash?
