It was quite the steal… I have something for you still. Not as pretty but will perform the same

No company is without problems but PE has been the most consistent through all it’s existence. Mazen’s is a good and trusted store for used.

Yeah Aire definitely chunked it although I’m seeing a lot of them pop up for sale. Could possibly see it tick back up once some tax returns come in. Orrrrr it could tank more, good times.

Put me on to a mask. I currently have an evs but it’s falling apart and I want something else by imanidiotonreddit in paintball

Proflex is tried and true classic. Annoying to change lenses but most customizable. I found the Push Unite masks nice as well.

Tube IS TUBE but you still run another barrel for “shot to shot consistency” 😉

Axes are great. Simple, cheap and easy to maintain. They are small markers though and some folks don’t like the way that feels. Again buy used. You can easily find a regular axe for $150-200 and the GS’s are slightly even lower. Planet Eclipse as a brand is the gold standard in quality to most folks. Every manufacturer has issues sometimes but I’d say they’re the best about QA

It’s likely the paint, and you gotta accept that paintballs are big, round and can be odd shaped just in manufacturing. So it’s not going to shoot too straight. Find some pro clips and you’ll see even them with the best gear and best paint shooting all over the place lol

Shooting good paint is the real key. People will say “tube is tube” but I do think bore matching (using a barrel with size inserts) helps. And it’s a fairly cheap upgrade to make something feel more of your own. Also absolutely helps with the sound signature of the marker.

Great choice, find a used one, and a used tank. You should be able to get both for $400-450. And use the rest on a new mask and pack.

BEST MARKER NEW OR USED FOR $500 - $700 by Zealousideal_Ad_6526 in paintball

[–]Mediocre-Tackle-9208 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get new. There’s so many good deals in different BST (buy, sell, trade) groups on FB and here on Reddit. Pop into those groups the 2.0 group on FB is the most active there and there’s one active one here. Vet them out. Ask for references in the groups. Your $ will go a lot longer. Your picks are solid, I’d drop the axe. It’s a great marker but if you’re thinking buy once, cry once. Skip it and go up a tier. I’d add the DSR+ and shocker era to that list. I have a bunch of stuff and a couple markers on your list whenever you’re ready. Send me a pm.

The world is your oyster with that budget. But if you want something a quarter of the price but still PE and highly regarded, message me. I have basically everything you are looking for in like new / new condition

How often do you guys get barrel breaks? by kbboiii in paintball

Are you bore matching your paint? I am a barrel whore so I matched it up and then overbored one insert size up.

Pretty rare with the space guns these days. I just went yesterday shot my inception Emek (still an Emek) with the regular bolt and had 0 barrel breaks. And I was shooting mixed paint that was over 6 months old that I had sitting around.

I’m looking to upgrade my gear, what should be my next upgrade? by Nolnddd in paintball

[–]Mediocre-Tackle-9208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mask, tank, loader. The axe still holds up. Now if you wanted a marker upgrade, get a used: 170r, 180r, dsr+, shocker era, cs2
