i just brought a my first paint ball marker after shooting a few diffrent ones nut the one i eventually settled on with out even firing was the one that dave from rekka gear designs and markets, i dont know alot about paintball markers but io have been around just about every other type of gun you can get your hands on for the last fifteen years and this looks to me like a smart pice of kit and if u come from the se london area dave is always happy to give advice on all things paintball. so if u got £300 to spend on a first marker i recomennd this one made with dye parts. Will post again once i have shot it on the field
