What you think of the weight of the guns ? and do you boys like the feel and hand positioning of the guns ? or you reckon the regulator could be made more handling friendly ?:rolleyes:

its not just the marker that is heavy the bottle adds a lot of weight and a full halo or similar isnt light weight either.

the gun can be balanced thou with a good bottle/reg set up and if it suits you a drop forward can help balance it out.

just got a evil scion (thanks lump :D ) and that makes my angel a lot better to hold/use..... oh and its lighter than the cross fire tank i had on .

Its the ones that fiddle with the Ions that break them

Ask myself:rolleyes:
Or have to do basic maintenance like clean the eyes after a break, and end up by bending a pin over on the eye harness/board side plug, which breaks off when i try to straighten it, and oh guess what?.......yep, have to buy a new board if i want the eyes to work again:mad:

"oh and before you say anything about me being heavy handed, i'm an electronics engineer and used to working with delicate electronics"

just to prove it's a common fault

My main issue or the thing that bugs me the most is the balance, i have never held a marker (set up) that was well balanced, it was always top heavy on either side.
Other than that, hosing winds me up, most of the time something that goes wrong is to do with the hosing:mad:

i went from a Ion to DM4, DM4 to 05 Ego, 05 Ego to DM4 (love em), and just sold my DM4 and now i've got a PM6.. and i've got to admit, it's the lightest out of em all, even the Ego, its small, not very high, and i can really get in behind it.. so in all i would so that from my Markers (dont like saying gun) i want to be able to get in behind.

and as long as i get 15bps out of it, i dont really care much more than that.

From starting with a tippmann just general efficency and in the future as long as i get a gun with 15bps i dont see anything else being a huge problem...

Although being able to customise the marker is something which appeals to me, not big customisation, just the small things which makes it different to the rest.:D
