JT 6.0 would be my choice of the markers you listed. It has good features, and looks really cool.

But for the price I would go with a Spyder Flash or Spyder AMG. Kingman's guns are higher quality. Just read the reviews of the Spyder Flash and the JT6.0, you will see.

rain makers are very much understood they are great guns much better than any of the ones listed........and they are very accurate because they are closed bolt guns just like a cocker, and only 99 bucks on pbgear with electrinic control and double trigger frame......so i am going to buy one oh ya and there are many upgrades for them to just go to the owners group you will see........

Sorry, but the RM is not closed bolt...just to be nitpicky. It is still very accurate though.

Just Take the money and buy a tippmann 98 custom.
You can buy 1 for 123.50 at actionvillag.com. It will take u this much just to get these guns up to the standard of a tippmann,

just to be nitpicky they are closed bolt. read the description on pbgear.com it clearly states closed bolt.

they aren't closed bolt. when you gas a RM up, the bolt goes back, ready to go forward when the trigger is pulled. when it isn't gassed up, the bolt is in closed bolt position, though.

The Rainmaker fires from an open bolt position

The rainmaker is Simulated Closed bolt. The bolt is not connected to the hammer(or ram), like a JT 6.0 any other stacked blow back. The bolt is closed when the hammer hits the valve, so it fires from the closed bolt posistion.

Go for the Rainmaker, for 100 bucks you cannot go wrong.

like Ive seen other guys say...and its technically true...every paintball gun fires from closed bolt...wouldnt work very well if it shot from open *l* ;)

but with spyders, the bolt is connected to the hammer meaning the bolt isnt in the closed posistion as long as the RM.

The Rainmaker is a closed bolt marker because the ball leaves the barrel before the bolt returnes to it's open state. You can take a buisness card and put it on the ball feed port and fire the marker and it won't blow it off. There is a valve that senses a pressure drop in the bolt chamber after it's been fired and lets the marker cycle. Very slight recoil.
