Best Investments:
- my autocockers
- my Proteus
- my Invision

So-So Investment:
- my PT Extreme (modified it to have a bottom-line and ASA plus a chrome milled vert feed that fits hoppers, real funny looking with my egg2 or my Rico2K on it!)

Worst Investment:
- Brass Eagle straight shot squeegee (It has a metal elbow on the rotating plastic disk that squeegees out the paint, it scratched the inside of my barrel to shreds!)
