Okay everyone, it's hard to choose a semi pistol backup marker, especially since there's little info about some of them. Here's what I have, why don't you share your experiences (Just don't go "I got this one and it's the BEST EVER!! What? No. I've never even tried another pistol, or even seen one. Why do you ask?)
Here's the rundown of decent semi's as I see it from my research:
$585 Palmer Squall (well, this is the best, but $600? let's move on)
$120 32 Degrees PT Extreme "PTX" (very common and popular, seems to have a lot of problems though)
$100 32 Degrees PT Enforcer (not made any more, many people found it to have a lot of problems)
$100 Paintball Online PT Professional (paintballonline claims that this is a new and improved PT Enforcer, but that's all they say. is it improved? how so?)
$100 Sidekick Semi Auto (some say it's great, some say it falls apart. good warranty)
$100 I&I Sports Punisher (this may be another new and improved Enforcer, or it may be an altogether different marker, I don't know)
As you can all see, they're all around the same price, and all competing for the same market. If you read the reviews, you will find very little actual comparison between them. Is a Sidekick as good as a Punisher? How does the Pro compare to the Punisher? How about the Sidekick's accuracy compared to an Extreme?
Share your experiences, and if you've tried more than one of these, that's some valuable info you have.
Thanks for your time, and thanks for sharing what you know.
