Markie was good enough to lend me and my brother one each. No problems at all over the course of the weekend, trigger was not exactly set to my personal preference but thats not the markers fault.
Not a single chop, nice and light, easy to move around you on the field.
Very fast markers, and considering everywhere seems to be capped at 15bps this isn't exactly a real issue any more. stock barrel was very good and air efficiency seemed to be excellent although i wasn't properly keeping track of it.
i was impressed with shooting long strings of paint and getting the balls pretty much where i wanted them, and consistently at that.
I have an 05 ego here at home, which i love and felt that the Etek wasn't quite as refined as the 05, but still a great marker. milling is basic and simple but this is no bad thing, makes the marker very easy to clean between drills/games.
for the money i would definitely recommend one of these markers to anyone, particularly new tournament players or anyone looking a solid and reliable backup marker.
