Errrm.... Yeah I will check first and I saw an empire hopper for sale on here for £15 but would all of these markers be good for woods ball?

Sweet. Are these types of guns better than assault rifle type things like the tippmann 98 because I have been watching YouTube videos and such and everyone uses ones that look more like a sub-machine gun (sorry it is hard to describe them) so why is this?

looks and feel mostly but also bt4's and a5's are famed for reliability and ruggedness thus good woodsball markers as they are very simple and easy to find spares for

alot of new players seem to use tippmanns as they have probably used them before on a rental day and they are cheap and reliable but they are a bit dated now and they are heavy and break paint more than an electronic gun which may have eyes to stop ball breakage or a low force bolt like the GOG envy ( you can put your finger in the gun fire it and the bolt bounces off your finger and doesnt hurt )

The difference is MADD but I don't get how it doesn't hurt when u put your finger in it and it still makes the ball fly so quick?
the "bolt" the bit that moves forward to push the ball into the barrel to shoot the ball out it moves forward pretty slowly with a little bit of air behind it ( thats why you can put your finger in there and it bounces off and goes back to start postion so to speak) to push the ball to the forward and then when it reaches a certain point it then releases another volume of air to chuck the ball out the barrel at speed if you see what i mean
