Starting Gear: Hopper and Bottle (And WGP MG-7 Pro/H18 Eros-SE)

that's cool. No worries.

Guerrilla Air are known for their extremely lightweight setups in comparison to other fibre wrapped counterparts. Then again, you did say that you can run around all day with a rental 98 + steelie and not have aching arms so having as light a possible setup is low down on your priority list, i guess.

Can match Justpaintball's price or slightly lower....

just curious have you checked other shops instead of just paintball?

lol shameless pimping!

I'll concede it's subtle though.

 

[Lollingsgrad]

Yeah I also checked Demon, BZ, Lips, and Rap4. Just Paintball seem to be consistently cheaper though.

It is tournament capable with semi-auto, PSP ramp, NXL full auto & 3 shot burst as standard. http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?142738-1of1-customized-amp-lasered-SLG-UL-looks-like-an-NT

I'm actually really confused now, I was looking at product reviews on Just Paintball and saw this:

Q: would the invert halo too work well with this and how does the firing work on this gun is it automatic?

A: Yes the halo too would be great. The Eros SE is semi automatic but really reactive and with a fast rate of fire. (Posted on 15/10/2010)

Is there any chance it could've changed?

what im getting from people replies are its rubbish avoid. (it wont be better than a site 98c in my opinion)

your money would be much better spend on a 2nd hand slg, dp g3, invert mini, ego 05, or even an ion (youd want the bolt out back version) which youll be able to get off here for about the £100 mark

and most of them will be practically brand new (apart from the ego 05)

this was where i took my info from when we were discussing firing modes, since i couldn't find a manual or anything online, so either justpball dont know what they're selling (which wouldnt surprise me to be honest) or we have a slight confusion of markers from the user saying it had all firing modes?

to be honest if the eros-se is as described with a lengthy maintenance process and aesthetically unpleasing i'd go for something like a proto slg (if it is a spool valve you're set on) although they have been known to mess up every now and again, or i'd recommend a smart parts vibe (now sold new as the gog envy) for really cheap but well performing spoolies.

however i'll always recommend an etek 1 or 2 for a first marker because they are super cheap but shoot fantastic for the price, pretty much indestructible, low maintenance, really consistent, simple!

Okay, okay, fair enough I'll give it a miss. I may just post up a wanted ad now actually. From looking around, I'm thinking of asking for the Invert Halo Too for £30, a 68/4500 for £80 (-£10 for each year old it is), and then trying to get an Invert Mini/Smart Parts Ion/Proto Rail/Eclipse Ego 05/Proto SLG. What would you offer for each of those? Obviously I want to spend as little as possible. Also are there any other cheap classics I should add to that list?

(if it is a spool valve you're set on)

I'm not really set on anything. I just want a gun with enough pew pew that I can take it to any tournament, scenario, or walk-on I might care to. Honestly I don't even know what a spool valve is!

Seeing as i'm the only one who actually seems to have owned an Eros-SE/MG-7 Pro (bought from JustPaintball no less!) on these forums:
http://www.p8ntballer-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?134000-LAST-OF-WHAT-S-LEFT-WGP-MG-7-Pro.-good-backup-marker.-Going-cheap.&highlight=

I can confirm that it has 4 modes of fire as stated. It comes stock with a 12" barrel (not 14" as previously mentioned, my bad....got muddled up with my DYE UL/Nightstick lengths).

If anyone just tries to google WGP MG-7 Pro, it is the exact same thing as Just's H18 Eros-SE. Just Paintball simply rebranded it under their H18 line of products.

Difference between standard MG-7 and Pro version is an additional firing mode. Electronics are interchangeable with a Virtue Diablo wrath board but the position of on/off and mode change buttons will be swapped around in relation to their respective holes in the composite body.

Due to its composite body, you wont have to worry about it getting scuffed up in woodsball. Although it does detract from overall aesthetics and feel of quality in comparison to another low-end marker like an SLG UL.

You're on fire today or something! I think that pretty much cemented the "no" though, especially since there are budget guns I can get with the same money that people actually like.
