you're jokeing right? impulses are much better than either of those, better barrel, better CS great on CO2, much better trigger, you decide
4 words never buy brass eagle!!
The Brass Eagle ain't THAT bad for the money. Worth a look if you're a baller (p-baller that is) on a budget and you're set on getting an electro. I'd probably get an autococker and just upgrade from there though if I was gonna get a B-eagle.

impulse wins without a doubt. tribal is a very small business, almost goin out of business, and brass eagle makes okay beginner guns, but smart parts makes the shocker too...which is one of the longest existed electro. the impulse also comes with a 200$ regulator and even co2 is recommended. i want an impulse too...altho im savin up for a intimmy.
Actually Autocockers r not made by brass eagle. Also Cockers r not electronic except for the F5 Sandrige. Yeah my first gun was a talon but if the selections tell the truth i don't think jd is looking for a begginners gun plus those rainmakers r paintball butcher shops. Also have leaks. If he is gonna have impulse as a choice i would tottaly rule out brass eagle. O and i heard that within the next 4 months tribal is going to have to declare bankruppcey(can't spell it). So if u go for the tribal gun u better hope u can find one fast.
My bad, I should have worded that better. I meant if I was gonna pay the money for a rainmaker, I'd sooner get an autococker.

You guys are all wrong. Rain Maker wins hands down, or hands up should I say cause you will be surrendering if you buy ths POS! This thing like all other BE products(except viewloader line and maybe the gun case) is junk. LMAO I cant resist my self. If you see thi around the time it is posted turn on Fox. ITs the top COPS moments of all time. A must see!
Impluses are very nice guns. IF yo can afford it buy it with the anti-chop eye and a sweet paint job for about 880 but you can get other better guns for that money. But it is nice(the impluse with anti-chop and sweet paint). And there is a regular impluse with like solid red, and other colors at paintballgear.com

Tribal, it is a great marker for the price and alot of problems people hear about are from older versions and now it has just as many upgrades as before.

GET THE EM1 BY KINGMAN !!!!!!
Heres the thing Tribal is or has gone out of buisness so i wouldn't buy an mephisto and b.e. i really just wouldn't trust with electro. Also you can get the impulse pretty cheap at http://www.xpaintball.com 470 is not but 100 dollars more than the rainmaker anyways and alot better quality. Em1 is ok but that is spyder's first electro so i really just wouldn't go with it.so by far the impulse wins

I don't know but if you don't like anyof you're other choices grab a bushmaster I just got a Bushy LCD and I love this gun without a doubt. I can't speak for an impulse because I have never fired one but it seems as though the impulse has taken the back seat to smart parts flagship shocker becoming it's orphaned ******* brother.... I dunno thats just my own opinion but I could be wrong. but if you aren't into a bushy definately go with the impulse I wouldn't be caught dead with a rainmaker regardless of what kinda perks it has.

im in the same jam... im thinking of a electro i am thinking of a bushy mephisto 2.2 or a impulse i am 80% on a impulse after seeing one shoot and how fast, quiet and accurate they are

well my final post on this subject are as follows
I own a bushmaster and love it!
Impulse = a highly neglected gun lacking in many respects due to the spotlight of it's bigger brother the shocker and understandably so...However This gun has had very little exposure not being the center of attention you get very little good or bad viewpoints on this gun.I hav heard some good but 90% of the people who own the impulse have neve shot any other electro guns so their views are slightly jaded.Thats not to say the impulse is not a good gun but to say that these are some things to be considered.
Tribal = OUT OF BUSINESS*** No Parts No Support = NO GOOD!
Rainmaker = Brass eagle product , although brass eagle did mass produce a electronic marker there have been many complaints about it's timing and having problems with finding anyone that would touch it. I may not be an expert but I understand being burnt and once you touch an open flame you learn from your mistakes however I believe this mistake you would never live down.I don't know about the rest of you but I have had my share of ill feelings toward brass eagle and their products and today that feeling makes me just as leary there are only 2 companies I truly despise in paintball Brass Eagle And Taso.
Bushmaster LCD = The older guns had problems with their regulators this has been fixed the gun function so much like and angel to say the bushmaster wasn't inspired by the angel just isn't feasible.The gun in many pictures is made to look unusually tall however the body is a mere 3.5 inches high... the LCD screen is on the back just where you can see it.It can be field stripped and cleaned no tools required and comes standard with 8 firing modes including full auto. The busmaster is not without fault though stock the gun has sucky grips could use a new barrel and there is some side to side slop in the trigger however when your trigger pull is fully adjustable and can become less than a mouse click does side to side play really matter? and if it does for 20 bucks you can rid yourself of that play anyway.Other than these small view point I can say I have had no problems whatsoever.

Mephisto:
11.2 OZ trigger pull, Sort of Consistent, quiet and accurate, but Tribal went out of buisness, cant run on C02.
Rainmaker:
Nice gun, kind of loud, trigger is light but LONG for an electro, accurate, but many airsmiths are not familiar with it and ther are only 3-7 aftermarket upgrades for it, can run on C02.
Impulse:
looks like a Big Shoe box, REAL light trigger pull and really not as long as people say. Fairly quiet, NEEDS A LOT OF HELP WITH THE FEEL!!! There is a total lack of comfortability with it, a Nice DF and a Grip can fix that up. Also comes with the Best Reg on the market, runs exceptionally well on C02.
Looks to me like pretty much all the guns stack up evenly but I would go with the Impulse.

you know, jesterdude, i've seen you everywhere in the electronic section giving propagandas about how good impulse are. like i say, it's like asking if your girlfriend is pretty, HELLO PEOPLE, he owns an impulse for crying out loud. if you want expert opinion, ask from a moderator. if impulse is ssooooo good, which cost about 450-500 for a semi. 500-550 for a turbo if you can find one, you could have spend that money on a cocker, or even a used shocker which much better out perform than the impulse. i would get a STO autococker, which can fire fast than the impulse if you have fast finger, and much much much much more accurate. beside, i'm getting rid of my EM1 because my damn field dont let automatic in, MOST FIELD DONT PEOPLE, SO THINK TWICE BEFORE BYING AN ELECTRO. beside, hey, it's a waste of paintball anyway.

I tried all the guns and decided the Impulse was 4 me. All the guns DO stack up pretty evenly.
if you want expert opinion, ask from a moderator.
Who says moderaters are super intellegent paintball gods (no offense).
if impulse is ssooooo good, which cost about 450-500 for a semi. 500-550 for a turbo if you can find one, you could have spend that money on a cocker
He gave us 3 Choicees of what he wanted, I stacked up those 3 and gave him the facts. Maybe you should re-read my post.
or even a used shocker which much better out perform than the impulse.
......no...... They perform the same.
i would get a STO autococker, which can fire fast than the impulse if you have fast finger
He gave us 3 choices
MOST FIELD DONT PEOPLE, SO THINK TWICE BEFORE BYING AN ELECTRO. beside, hey, it's a waste of paintball anyway
Please explain to me the logic of the above statement...

i just got a new RT mag pro traded from mine old EM1, it's COOOOOOOOL, and extremely extremely reliable, i used it on co2 and it shoots BETTER, repeat BETTER than a autococker but with out the hassel. talk about the trigger, sooooo light, i can fire up to 7 balls per sec. i SURE, it would beat your semi impusle out of the water. I call mine 'angel killer'. this gun is so reliable, i have break one ball out of 1000 i went trhough, yes people, even brass eagle balls. and i you try to argue that impulse is BETTER than my RT PRO, i have nothing more to say. all of you who wants electro out there, i have a piece of advice for you, electro can be fun, but they are also waste of money and dangerous not to mention unreliable at fullauto. there are fast-semis out there that could compete up to most electro, BRASS EAGLE ARE CRAP, MEPHISTO IS OUT OF BUSINESS SO NO NEED TO SAY. save your money to buy a reliable gun on the field. I would not recommend autococker or anything like that since they are a headache to handle. MAGS rule, they are very very reliable, it can be summerge under water and still works.

Congrats!!!!
RT Mags are better than a Impulse, capable of up to 26 BPS.
And Autocockers really are not that hard to maintain.

I must just say that there are many Misconseptions on this page that i Feel obligated to correct.
1) All you people who say Toxic TOYS is out of buisness (Tribal markers) Are dead wrong. Toxic toys is just moving there company over to America so they can support there main costumers.
2)to the guy who posted about the RT pro's first of all RT's can be good guns but like with all of the new AGD guns you are gambling it seems like 1 out of 3 guns are bad out of the factory and if you do get one of these you will have masses of problems. Tribals also seem to have this gamble fatctor in them, oh and the reg is a POS.
3) For the price just get a damn shocker if you are going to get an impulse. First of all the shocker is more consistant, it is more accurate, it is quieter, and it is more reliable (it has been around for 4 years). THe only thing with the shockers is they are alittle heavey. Oh and you dont need an anti chop eye with the shocker becase you will not chop a ball. I have had mine for a month and have played 4 times but about 4 cases through it and have not chopped 1 ball 1 case i used was year old RP. Oh and the shocker comes with an awsome barrel, An All American (i know you will say get a freak factory impulse but why not get a used shocker and put a freak on it) The barrel on tribles are not very good they fell like they are tinfoil they are very light.
4) Tribals are good guns but 1st They are loud (get a new berrel)
2nd the regulator is crap
3rd toxic toys is moving so you wont have tech support for another couple months.
4th The Tribal is a very complex gun.
5th it seems like one out of 3 or 4 is bad and needs lots of maintenece.
1st reason you should get it is it is cheap (can find it for around 399
2nd it is very light
3rd it is a fast firing gun
4th it is accuracy is very good (does not touch the shocker tho)
I am not preaching tribals i am just showing you they are not bad guns all of the problems with them only seem to happen to acouple of guns
If i had to put an order on the guns i would say
Shocker
impulse
tribal
rainmaker (have not shot but have heard good and bad things about them)
any questions email me at devilshroom69@hotmail.com

How could a Shocker POSSIBLY be more consistent the an Impulse. They have the same guts and the Same Reg. And Some Impulses came with the AA barrel. And the Freak Impulses come with WAAAAY more than just a freak. I have only broke on ball in my Impulse using 6 Month old BE paint (Yeah, I know it was a stupid risk but I was late for practice and short on cash) and that is w/o the eye also. And my Impulse is WAAAAY reliable. I have only had one problem and thats because it was shipped w/o 2 of the partsd it needed.
And the Impulse and the Shocker perform EXACTLY the same.

Well no its not as old school as you can get.Auto mags been around a long time the classic for one has.Why cause there a very dependable marker.I own a mag a impluse and a blazer.as far as walking over a marker I dont think so.I play just as well with all 3 of them. Its who's holding the thing.A marker dont make a player a preson does. A great marker just makes them better is all.I own a RT just 8 weeks ago I sold it. Why cause I wanted a blazer.And that marker been the best I have had so far.
My friends have cockers angels and mags. I am not left behind.And whats wrong with the old school any how I was there.I also have a marker called a golden eagle and it is just sitting there cause Its not made no more and its just a collectors piece right now.I do shoot it now and then just cause if you let them sit the go too crap.
Not flaming anyone one here.So don't take this all out of contect
