My awesome Ironmen 'Machine Gun' is now up for sale over in the classifieds :) Only reason for selling it is because I got two new timmies :D

So you can find out for yourself just how good they are! If it's not gone by Campaign I wll let people try it out there and considering I usually get offers for it when I am playing I don't expect it to last long! :)

Well we all know that it's all about personal preference, so go out and try all the marker that you can, and then decide which one fits you best. But IMO, the Timmy stinks. They've gotta be two feet long without a barrel, and when you throw an air system on them, it feels like you're shooting a log. So what? Just throw a drop on it. Okay, now it's 3 feet tall (like a bushwacker with a drop, only worse). Sure, they're fast (in the sense that they're board is less restricted than others), but what isn't these days? The new bushy board is 66.6 bps capable (and it's lighter, shorter and cheaper), the Speed is 30 (and it's lower pressure, and it's lighter, and it's shorter, and it's cheaper...), the new A4 is 31 (and it's lighter and shorter and lower pressure than even the Speed) and if you want to get into the really slow markers, the Impy's are like 20, and the LED, LCD and IR3 angels are all 20 also (although they're actual cycling rate has been clocked higher than 20 bps. Not quite sure how that works, but...). The amazing anti chop eye that I've been hearing about didn't seem so amazing when I saw it. Everybody who was using them had to turn them off, because everytime something (i.e., paint) got in the breach, or they used the "wrong" type of paint, the eye went to hell, and had to be turned off in order for the marker to cycle above 2 bps. All "eyes" are like that, the only really dependable anti chop system that works under all conditions is the C.O.P.S/Sensi by WDP, because it doesn't depend on beams of light to detect paint.
If you want to buy a high end electro, I think your money could be better spent.

Joe,

Setting the trigger up so it bounces like f*** I got 23bps with paint and with the eye on. It was ridiculously fast.

With a legal trigger I haven't got past 17bps.

You need to make sure that all the bps is with paint, as you can get stupid numbers from Timmy's without paint, but you could never use them.
