Troubles choosing a marker

[Ram]

Hey people!
having hard time deciding what to get:
05 WGP Karnivor
WDP Speed 05
Proto Matrix
WGP Black Magic
Smart Parts Ultimate Shocker

tried to get some useful reviews from pbreview.com, but everybody there are just some little kids that can't help at all. So would be nice to hear what do you guys think of all those, gas efficiency, how good are the stock setups, recommended upgrades.

Please pay attention that all those markers are 1000$ and less [ new ]. If any other suggestions in this price range pop up, will be great to hear them.

Btw, shot a dmc during few games today, it is really nice, though not very efficient. But i'd like to hear dry numbers. and what would be most interesting is to hear reviews about the proto - weight, gas efficiency, stock stuff and so on.

Try a few of each out..as a rule, most Cockers are pretty much the same, tho, those with lots of upgrades, like mine, shoot better than stock ones...

As another rule, unless you have pots of money and/or dont mind losing pots of money, in a disgustingly short time...buy secondhand...

Not sure what the rules would be, for sending a marker to Israel either...

Shockers, Ions, Proto's DM's are all gas hungry as stock, tho improvements can be made.

Angels are popular, but some say they arent accurate at high rates of fire, soe say they need regular teching, I think teh newer Angels are better than teh older ones, of which there are many, as WDP keep bringing out new models, every 5 minutes...tho they have calmed down a bit now...

i wud get the proto matrix or kanner... but deff buy second hand... for the price of a new marker, you can get a used one and put loooooads o upgrades on it... wonderful

Matrix... but then again try them all out first if you can

There is a bit of a problem with used guns and me, i'm stuck israel,not a lot paintballers here, so hard to get used guns. by fact, almost impossible.
It's not like the uk - every day few people sell some more used guns very cheap... I decided on the WGP 05 Black Magic SF. So gonna see what it is... btw never found a good review about it, someone?

What freaks me in pbreview.com that it stopped being the professional site it usedto be. instead of some good high level reviews some stupid reviews like "this gun is awesome! get one of those! absolutely no kick! ripping!"... gas efficiency? bps? weight? accuracy with stock barrel? stuff like this...

If you can find out about rules and regulations, regarding importing a marker to Israel and its all good, I will sell you my E2'd Cocker for £300 sterling, assuming you pay or arrange shipping....if your interested of course.

i'd buy that with pleasure, but for now got a 05 black magic sf on the go should be here in a couple of weeks... oh, and 'bout regulations - they're extremely stupid, so actually the amount of people that are allowed to ship markers to israel is like... 5

BTW - would be nice to hear a good review about the Black Magic SF.
