hi i was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on a new marker my budget is around £350. im not a tournament player or anything just like to go play on my local site with m8s. i am currently in the process of selling my proto slg ul i came into a bit of extra cash and fancied a change. my mind is pretty much made up but just wanted a bit extra advice greater than my own lol. i am really swaying towards the tippmann x7 Phenom is this a good choice or not any advice would be much appreciated :)

many thanks

i know you don't play tourney, but get an ego 09, they work in woods too :D or if you could add like £30 you could buy a brand new etek 3 lt i mean mil-sim guns look pretty cool, but i mean there quite heavy and if your out there in the woods for like 20-30mins a time, surely you want a lighter marker :rolleyes: but if you must get a tipp man, i've heard really good things about fully upped A5's i think theres even a tourney team in america that uses them, not to sure of the X7 to be honest, seen one at a walkon once and it was okay though. By no means am i an expert, it just seems crazy to me that if you can get an ego/etek/geo etc. why wouldn't you :D

any of the planet markers are good but to be honest if its just for the woods your SLG is probably fine. The SLG would outshoot a Tippman most of the time.

I was looking at the x7 phenom because its supposed to shoot real smooth and be really acurate and for the cyclone hopper, so is planet deffinatly the way to go. It would have to be the etek 3 lt becase I am a bit wary of buying second hand

can't go wrong with planet :) you can even get the etek 3 in camo colours man, and buying off here is perfectly safe, provided you follow the rules the mods are awesome at helping if something does go wrong, really go above and beyond the call of duty, just look at the breakwell thread in the speak your brains section for proof :rolleyes:

i second that

i have bought and sold markers on here lots , and i have never had a problem , as for planet markers you could not get a more reliable marker ,, and when it comes to servicing and cleaning they are a doddle ,, i have had slg's , pm8s , egos dye angel tippman and my latest delta elite with apex and all the goodies and my ego 5 and ego 8 outperform and outshoot any of the above guns all day everyday ,,

hope this helps
