Which marker did you lust over when you first got into the sport?
- Thread starter H
- Start date
STP, I remember thinking semi auto will never catch on (the only one I knew of was the golden eagle).
I remember seeing an ad for one of these in the first ever PGi I bought and thinking it looked awesome:
It really, really wasn't
First time around, I WANTED an early cocker - can't remmeber the exact models, but they were still labelled Budd Orr.
When I came back to the sport in about 07, it was the Ego 7 or the Alias Timmy. Never had a 7, but now got an Alias, and love it (along with a Dogz and Empire; plus a sold on Russian Legion and another Alias I sold too)

I loved anything Timmy. I remember when they went to 2nd gen, with the 2k2 and the GZ timmy. Played with one at the Welsh Open, and the switch was placed so that it turned off when you switched hands, so I went for a mug, and tried to shoot guy with a turned off gun, but he just sorta stood up and walked off.
Feel free to Cool story bro me. (also, I'm the one on the right)

plus what guns lying on the floor?
Here's mine - just what I wanted! An old London Tigers Alias, with Rabies board and a few little ups and tweaks added down the years. Best of all, it cost me £85!
I do too miss PGI - Was talking to a business associate the other day and he told me he played for Nam Wreckin Crew back in the day and I was going to dig out my old PGI's and see if he was in any of them.Does anyone else remember getting actual paper catalogues in the post?? I miss those days.
I miss PGi too
My Gun of desire was the 68 Automag, managed to afford one after starting out with a Tippman Pro-am, and deciding within 10 minutes that I should of just bought the Mag !!
Being young with loads of money for Paintball - Those were the days !!
Always wanted a Budd Orr sniper when I first started out, and finally bought a Sniper 2 brand new in 1990. Also had a new WGP Autococker shipped over from the USA in 1992, and picked up my first classic automag secondhand in 1994. I still have one of these patches on my old team jacket
