Well I'm not really new to Paintballing but this seemed like the best place to ask this. I am about to start Paintballing again and I want a new Marker. Cheap but good. Nothin over like 210$ I (Ebay Included(Cheap STuff on there) I was looking at the PMI E-force EVO 2004 or the PMI E-Force EXT 2004 or the Autocockers Trilogy(Any Series Pro,Sport or Comp) or a Dragunfly (LED etc.) Which is the best or are there better markers out thier? I have done research but every review is telling me something different. I would consider myself Begginer - Amature, I was going to get into it big time and broke my leg so now is my rebound with a new marker.
Right now I have the Cheap but reliable Piranha Bl Vf G3 AkA Frenzee. I love this marker I have the Multi Metal Expansion Chamber and Custom Products 12" Barrel. For being cheap it works good in 15 degree snowy weather. I will keep it as a backup no matter what, But I was leaning towards the PMI's since I had some upgrades.
Most people I play with have regular Spyders and PMI etc. But some have nice Autocockers. But I have to stay within my budget. I will go over a bit if it's really worth it.

I would say to get a cocker...btw Im selling one ;) lol. I would also reccomend the step up to HPA. Chances are, if you have friends that are playing with cockers, they probably have HPA, so there is access to an Air fill somewhere near you. Although I do agree, that Piranhas are nice, my first gun was a Piranha VTL with E-force.

Get the 2005 Piranha Eforce GTI (17bps, ACE ready when the kit comes out, $104) or the 2005 Piranha Evo SE (High BPS rate, anti-chop eyes, detonator regulator stock, $210). Don't forget that if you have a nice barrel for your marker you can pop it on any piranha, so you can save cash. Also, you have lots of spare parts! Stay away from the trilogy cockers. If you want a cocker, go to ebay and buy a 2004 model w/ups.

you can get a used matrix maybe for arond 200, or even an eblade auto cocker. Those two would be better then any of your other choices.

I was looking at Ion's But they seem to have a lot of problems along with the Wrath compared to the PMI EVO 04(Why is that?). I want a nice marker this time. I guess 250$ could be a little stretch but I could do it. I am still checking. Any more Suggestions? Or Why the reviews make the Ion's and other seem like there in the EVO's Shadow.
Worr Game Products 2004 Vertical Feed Autococker anygood?

Believe me, The Ion/Wrath/Omen/B2k's are better than Evo's.
Yea, they're fine.

Yes...just wait a little for the ion. 40 extra dollars shouldn't be hard to come by. It'll be so worth it. Ion problems, from what I've heard, are usually because the person doesn't know how to use it, and breaks it by messing up the hoses or the banjos.

Be sure you can also get HPA and at least an eggy if you get that, but yes, it's good.

Phantom :tup:
I second that motion. A Phantom is always a wise choice, although, not always a cheap one. I would still reccomend an autococker. Ions, B2Ks and other pnuematic guns are going to run co2 really really bad, but I have run co2 through my cocker many times without problems.

I've seen it done without problems. Granted it won't shoot very fast, but it can be done. Also, you don't need an eggy... a reloader or revvy can suffice if you're content on not shooting too fast.

Yeh, but an a/s is only like $15 so might as well get it.

Is the Wrath so much better than the Ion that I shuld kick out 40-50 more bucks?

The wrath is cheaper than the Ion, usually. IMO the Ion owns the Wrath.
