The Best Paintball Gun...

[{{{Judgement}}}]

Hey peoples, what is your opinion on the best paintball gun in the world? I am soon getting some new equipment, and I would like to know, what, in your opinions, is THE BEST marker in the world? This should give me a few interesting replies. Mabey even a little controversy. Anyhow. I also would like your opinions on the best hopper, nitro tank, mask, appearell, cleats, and also a few of the best upgrades for the gun, nitro tank, and hopper. This reply could help a lot of people decide what to get as is best gear of all sorts. Prices are not the issue, but you should post them. This should prove to be a good subject. Later peoples.

there is/was already a thread on this here and to my knowledge it was closed.

or buried.

It's not really possible for a gun to be the best because there are so many different classes of guns that you shouldn't really compare. For example some people would say the Phantom is the best because it is very accurate and it saves you paint, but someone who liked insanely fast guns like an Angel 4 might say that the Phantom is too slow to be any good.

In my opinion mechanical cockers are the perfect balance of speed and accuracy. They save paint because the user must learn to pull and release the trigger so as not to short stroke the marker, and also because they are very accurate. But of course, they are not as accurate as a phantom and not as fast as an A4.

So basically it all comes down to each player's opinion.

high ends can only shoot so fast, accurately, far, and smoothly/low kick before they max out those stats. after that, how do you determine what's "best?" looks? efficiency? maintenance?

A blade.

[teufelhunden]

Nexus 'Cocker, Alias, NYX, X-Mag/ULE E-Mag.

IMO it's all opinion. Please close this thread.

There is not best gun. All high end guns equal out at the top.

To the peoples,
My question was not what was the UNDENIABLE best of all products, it was "The best in YOUR OPINION." And/Or, your favorite. I already realize you cannot label any paintball gun, or some other supplies as "The best." that is commercial advertising and false advertising at that. If there was a "best", all pros. would own that gun. Besides, then what would the whole point of customizing your gun and making statments be? A good trait about paintball is the difference in your own style of playing and creating equipment.

[nerdcore]

so what you really wanted was like a poll? which has also been done many times.

here's something to marinate on: besides price, high end markers all share this similar trait - a more desirable operating mechanism. now what if blowbacks were the more desired operating mechanism (hypothetically)? would that make them high end?

[amzng_spyderman]

in that case... mine :D

I must admit, your cocker owns.

[deadly killer]

ok first of all the gun means jack on a players ability to eliminate the players itz not the gun itz the player... so therefore there is no "best" gun u could have the a high end gun and get eliminated wit a talon cuz itz how good u are and ur skills

Also, it helps to be able to shoot fast and without much happening to your accuracy.

[hybrid-sniper]

It more like 35% gun and 65% player.
Higher end gun gives you the ability to perform highly with it.
thats why you don't see many low end guns on the tourny scene.
