Is it worth the extra 240 for a typhoon over a Blazer? If not i think ill just buy a blazer because its cheaper and smaller. I like to play back and sniper. I hear the typhoon is super accurate.

The phoon is a good back players or front players marker. Bad things is the barrel is part of the marker so the barrel is what ever size you pick. The blazer you can get some diffrent barrels with it.
Friend has a phoon and he is very happy with it. All nickel plated either marker is a good choice if you wan something made by palmers

not really, barrels are the same .except the phoon you are stuck with the same barrel as per the blazer you can get shorter ones or longer . ported or not etc. blazer seems to shoot a bit faster to me but then it all depends who is behind the trigger.

i understand the blazer and the typhoon and somewhat similar BUT if they have the same performance/quality then where does that extra 240$ go? (nickel plating dosen't cost 240$ does it?)

Well they are the smae in the works but the phoons is tricked out already,the stock blazer is just the gun nothing to it. if you add on what the phoon has on the blazer you'll see that they would be about the same.

The Blazer is also cheaper because it is the only Palmer marker to be mass produced in batches. All the other Palmer markers are custom made to order...

Well its not really mass produce in terms of you walk in palmers and you got a blazer. They have the blocks made . You can walk in palmers and buy a typhoon off the shelf also. There are blazers that had been order by people that have not been picked up and they'll sale those over the counter.
But the blazer has less workmen ship than the phoon ,one reason is they have blocks premade and the they put them together. Blazers take less time to build is another reason. The blazer is a production marker not a mass produce marker. Is the main reason it is a little cheaper.
