5.0 or 6.0

[Blue~Dragon]

I'm getting a jt marker and I don't know which one to get should i spend more and get the 6.0 and if so Y is it more accurate/shoots farther ect..

[mikek2111987]

neither really shoots farther, and the stock barrels are the same so they accuracy is the same if you have the same paint.

Get the 6.0 because it has the Regulator and the High Rise Feed and some other goodies that you can't get on the 5.0 They both shoot about the same distance and length but the 5 won't last very long rapid firing since you don't have a reg. It is cheaper just to buy the 6 than to buy the 5 and a regulator

6.0 your payin for a talking vibrator... just get the 5.0 and get a GOOD reg on it if your really worried about a regulator. and you wont have drop off without a reg, because of the open flowingness, WITH a reg you can have drop off, learn some physics. and i doubt the reg on the 6.0 is very good, if it is a reg at all. my friends got a 4.0 and they have the same barrel stock and he hit the tip of my barrel from like 40-50ft away twice in a row, so i wouldnt worry about accuracy to much.

I think that the reg on the 6.0 isn't the greatest...but its pretty darn good. I guess I have to say this again, here are the differences between the 5.0 and 6.0:

Regulator (No it doesn't suck, and its adjustable!)
Low Pressure Gauge
High Rise Vertical Feed (Its glued in with Loctite, believe me its not easy to take off)
Vibration prompts
Talking Prompts
Volumizer

You get all of this stuff for only $229 at www.paintballgateway.com (http://) and the 5.0 costs $200! This is a good price, I mean tell me when you can buy all of those things for your 5.0 for only 29 bucks....believe me I'm not going to be holding my breath.

By the way, flowingness isn't a word.

i heard that some people were experiencing too much blow back with the 6.0 and were having to send it back to jt, where they drilled holes in the sides of the marker...i cant confirm this but u can read it for yourself i think in the reviews on this site...personally id go with the 5.0 and like DaAdmeral said get a good reg for it.

I haven't had any problems with the blowback in my 6.0. Just buy the 6.0 because you can just buy a new feed port for the 6.0 (very rare by the way) for 20 bucks which is cheaper than a $60 reg.
