Marker Man

[Calavera]

So a back player wants to shoot as much as possible and as accuratly as possible to take out oposition asap. Sure it makes sense but doesn't every position on the field want a gun that proforms the same? Just a really fast, accurate and not too bulky gun correct? People ask which gun to buy for a certain position but wouldnt a good gun be good enough for any position?

Won't somebody back me up or just tell me how wrong I am?

Ignorance is bliss but I'm just realising I'm gonna have to learn at some point

You're right.

yeah, ur right, after all every marker has the same range, so with a good barrel you should have the ability to play any position. que the conflicting opinions.

Oh my God, 3 people in a row who are'nt the witless pawns of hype!! I love these forums!

tbh, I see your point, I mean, aslong as you have a long barrel and a half decent rate of fire you're ok, there is no point in spending 1000 smackers on a tricked out cocker (which I have seen to be favoured by the backs) when you could spend a fraction of the amount on an excellerator or a T3 and then get yourself a freak kit...I mean, I could play back if I had a freak kit or something of that nature, and I own an inferno, in fact I would enjoy playing with that set up...
ooh, i like it!

That all depends....

On what you deem to be a good rate of fire, and how much paint you want to use.

for the longer range shots you want something that is as steady as possible, with a fairly short, light trigger pull, if thats what you've got, you should be fine just about anywhere.

Remember that a marker is only as effective as you make it.

Spend the cash if thats what you want, but if it seems like too much of an effort, then stick with the stuff that rings your bell. You are the only person that really has to justify yourself.

Also be realistic, most of the expensive markers are that way for a reason, MOST of it is cosmetic, but a fair amount has to do with performance.

I couldnt have said it better my self

you would probably wanna go after an e-marker for back position since the trigger pulls are so much lighter without having to do much work to it the height of the gun wont really matter too much becausethe back players are usually in control of the game

Well, it's not so much about having a different gun as it is having a different setup. I'm talking about little things such as the difference between low/hi rises and the size of tanks players use. In my experience, a lot of high end guns can perform in any position, and sometimes for me it's hard to tell just by looking at it what guns belong to back players and which to front players. Packs are definitely a different story, though...

everything you change on your marker is a matter of preference.. some people dont understand this and mostly think of it as a fad

as for tanks, i really wouldn't use anything smaller than a 68, if you're in an intense game, you don't really wanna start spitting out paintballs and watching them drop straight to the ground

i recently bought a 72/45 and im extremely happy with it. its a bit high in cost for just 4 extra ci, but its extremely compact, its a lot shorter than a 68 but not much rounded than a 68
