I agree many of the clothing etc is very overpriced but like other people have said, you get people with more money than sense buying it and if there's people buying them they'll get away with high pricing.
But if you look around / buying 2ndhand etc you can save a lot. Went to my local store the other day and bought some empire pants for £25, not sure which model but they're very well made and will do the job more than capably

Technology always gets cheaper, things have moved on since E-Cockers requiring 2 solenoids and Mags made of stainless steel.

Now we get ally and plastic(sorry polymer :rolleyes:).
Operating pressures have come down drastically enabling the use of these more cost effective materials, cheaper solenoids and with most of these budget markers no LPR.

What this will also bring is more markers ending up in the bin when 2 to 3 years old instead of being sold on to newer players.

if money is a problem then buy from the forums... there is always players willing to buy the newest kit for team reasons or just because its new.. over time they buy more new kit then the 6 month old pants and jersey get put on here for no reason other than its out dated... watch the forums.. bargains every day :)

Prices for the kit make it solid for teenagers like myself to get into the game at a decent standered, because i legaly cant get a job, i feel for sports to grow you need a market in the youth. Like most huge sports Ruggers and fusball are played alot with kids. I can barley afford a marker never mind the other kit. My parents aint reach either lol

Because the point of these cheaper guns is that they're still not as good as their better versions.

You pay less for an etek than an ego because there's less too it. But gear doesn't change, I've never heard of entry level playing pants from dye or eclipse! (Maybe it exists!)

I know what I'm trying to say but I'm faffing it up.

Guns - cheaper because worse
Pants - stay the same because they're as good as they alays were they're just keeping up.

That's probably why proto ect is cheaper than eclipse, more basic.

So there's no reason for them to be cheaper. If you want a cheaper version you have to buy a cheaper version. If any of this makes sense!

They won't make v-locitys worse so they're cheaper, they'd just expect you to buy an egg.

Probably a load of tosh :p
