might get a ego

[brandonc]

i looking into getting a new marker and the ego looks a good gun so if you have one , have owned one or know alot about them, please tell me what to expect and what they are like to own, at the moment i shoot a nyx trix, i know its heavy but in three years this gun has never let me down and if it leaks it's only a oring which is very easily fixed, and its rearly soft on paint, are egos as gentle or are they a bit harsh.
your thoughts would be greatly appriciated

Out of the box me ego shot like a dream, only needed the smallest of adjustments (trigger and velocity) and it was awsome, i then got all the upgrades i could for it and it now shoots like a wet dream

i too can vouch for the Ego..

it is a fabulous gun out of the box, and anything extra you do to it just makes her sexy!

-its easy to mainain.
-its fast
-its reliable
-its light
-its gorgeous.
- there going cheap as chips second hand at the moment!!

as for gentle on paint.. its ok, nothing special, but nothing an aftermarket bolt wont solve.

Yeah, just get a DART/Nexus bolt and your fine and dandy as far as paint goes. They are superb outta the box...

The only thing I would suggest asothers havementioned is the dart bolt, which will be bettr on paint & if you fancy.... the 2 peice shaft barrel is great...

Other than that its a cracking marker....just add paint & air..... & from a personal standpoint reloader b's work great with them...

Darky out

If you want the bolt that is gentlest with paint go with the Nexus, its less harsh on paint than the DART and is shorter, so lower kick.

All over the Duvet, which you then have to hide from your mum!

Had my Ego a little while, and being a bit Techy, tend to be critical of certain things.

I loved my cocker, but heavy and can be problematic in untrained hands...loved my DM4, would shoot anypaint as fast as you like..bit gas hungry and far too many o-rings for my liking...built a scratch Shocker....very light, not fantastic build quality, certainly fast and easy to shoot, gas hungry (spool valve again) and again too many o-rings..too easy to blow teh solenoid...my Ego, has almost no moving parts, sod all o-rings, well built, peice of piss to maintain, light, fast and pretty efficient..its teh bets gun Ive ownedor shot and as you can see, its very pretty (thanks Slothball!)
