What do you think of Speed?

Well, its performance enhancing qualities are obvious and it can help you lose weight...however it has lots of nasty, anti-social side affects and is generally very, very naughty...

As for high end markers...well, I was going to buy a Speed, but I didnt..I have used them before, nice bit of kit, reasonably priced...
As has been said, try a few markers....some you may get on with better than others, remember that the markers you shoot will be set up for someone else, so might require fiddling to suit your style...im not going to say E-BLADE...because it might not be for you, although that is what I chose to shoot as I found them to be more accurate when rapid firing, than the Angels were under rapid firing...If I were to buy a second marker just for the hell of it, I would likely buy an AKA Viking from Mr Collier as they truly are a remarkable bit of kit...

In the end...Markers are like women, there are lots of different ones out there...some are cheap and nasty, others are Elite and pricey...some are plain but dependable, others look striking but fail to perform when required...most make silly farting noises at some point in their lives...they come in both super efficient and thrifty, and wastefull varieties...
Most really enjoy a damn good rattling, however some just cannot handle it and either fall apart completely or become very dependent on your nurturing ways....:D

Much of the above is meant to be taken in a light hearted but informative way, so hopefully there will be no High Horse related leaping from people!!:D

Skeet, you are the man.......

Try before you buy, whats one mans joy is another mans pain..

I quite liked my speed, but sold it for an Eblade! then sold that for a 03 shocker.

Try them all.

I am now using a Viking, as well as the shocker. They are both very different markers. They both suit me, but for different reasons.

Don't just try firing it, if possible use it in a few games. See how holding it affects your profile etc.

Also try it with your hopper, sometimes halos don't agree with angels, mine didn't so i got an egg.

I'm an angel fan, but find what's right for you.
