Battle For The Best Backup

[RyanB]

I want to hear from you guys your opinion on which marker makes the best backup. Consider:
-price
-reliabilaty
-performance
-availability of parts
-amount of matenance

[L0ngrange]

I think most people don't actually go out and buy a gun to be a backup... they just keep their old gun when they get a new one or if they find a really good deal on a used gun that their friend is selling (for instance) they'll pick one up.

[SilentTension]

reliability.. hell i'll use a talon for backup if i have to

[halB]

pt extreme, just cause a pistol is really cool

[Killer Kat]

Simple, reliable, dependable, all found in the IMPULSE!

[Dr. Isotope]

Mag Classic. Cheap, dependable, parts are everywhere, AGD support is top notch.

[L0ngrange]

Hmm..I just thought of the best backup gun in the world... Cobra's mamba IR3 angle :P

A key word up there is price.

[halB]

okay a backup should be cheap, not somebodies main marker. for that i could wholeheartedly suggest the tornado. 50 bux. cant be broken, pretty decent, no upgrades or warranty, but for 50 bux, its a back up that costs a case of paint.

[Flanders]

well, right now perahna sts g3..im selling that and then getting a matrix as my primary so my cocker will become #2 most likely haha

[The Mafia]

my backup is a Tippmann M98. Yeah, it's big and clunky and looks like a rental, but no matter what I do to it or how infrequently I bother to clean or oil it I know it will always work.

[FISHY]

well... i had a m98 and spyder for my backups to my cocker... but then someone broke into my house and stole a bunch of stuff including all my paintball stuff...

[MikeyD]

Mags would be my ideal Backup.

[ImpYa]

BD Compact or Basic. Good price, durable, and have great performance.

[weefek]

I'm getting a BKO for my backup.

[weefek]

oh yeah and i'm buying a Mirage :laugh:

[TheZephyr]

BK0s make good backup guns. Mags are nice, because they never break down, and now with lvl 10, they don't chop either.

[neubs]

PT Extream...
semi-auto pistols > j00

Your pretty right, By the time you get the cash with playing to by the next gun you have learned how to keep your prevouse marker how to keep running well, so it does become your backup marker.

I have fun taking guns apart and cleaning them hehe. I don't see why u wouldn't anyways :D I would hehe

Black Dragons make the best backups. You can take the air or whatever off the broken IR3 or whatever, and the HALO or whatever, plug them on the Dragon, maybe a little barrel or something, and go arse whoopin!

Me? I use a Phantom for backup...I just can't put her down...but I've never needed a backup gun. Ever.

[Murph1]

Brass Eagle Raptor. The price is nice, but you have to have a good understanding of how to make broken guns work again in order to use it. The screws all strip like this (snaps finger) and overall, its a gun to avoid. I made the mistake, I dont want any more to :)

Actually, it's a solid performer with a lighter trigger spring and stainless steel connection pin. You dont even need a LPC to go low pressure, the valve chamber is so massive.
