I concede that break beams are worth laying down money for. Anti-chop eyes have been available for a few years, and can be retrofit to most electronic guns, what are we buying this year that is so revolutionary? The only thing I have had to do was get ready to ramp. OK, done. I am set until the rules change or someone actually improves the guns in a real way.
99% of people want a marker with Antichop eyes, yes you can retro fit markers, but "on the whole" its cheaper to buy a 2nd hand one that has eyes.
Ramping software has become a bigger "must have" for new buyers, no matter if their local league permits ramping or not.
In the UK, Egos, are this weeks favourite so other markers are plummeting in value as people want the newest coolest markers that the top teams use. The people who normally buy, for example, timmys want Egos so they aren't buying. Prices continue to fall until someone says, "hell that timmy is £300" and buys it.
With the exception of many of the people on the boards here, your average paintballer is a sheep and follows the flock either at a national level or at a local level.
wonder how long before someone posts sheep noises.
