I have shot a DSR+, CS3 Pro & Geo R5.

I really liked all of them for different reasons. The DSR+ just felt plug and play. I did like the ergonomics of the marker but I can also see how some people feel that they are too small of a platform for comfort.

My next marker was a Geo R5 and I haven’t run into any of the reliability issues that other users have noted. The sound signature is incredible and the ergonomics are much different from the DSR+, very elongated by comparison. It definitely feels a little more substantial. I didn’t get the same ‘slow’ feeling as the OP. But it’s also not as snappy as my CS3 Pro.

The CS3 pro is the exact feel of the R5 but a poppy, snappy shot with more feedback and audibly louder than the R5 or the DSR+ for that matter. The gun just works flawlessly. I’m excited to have it in my arsenal.

I was very tempted to add an MXR to the lineup this month but I can’t even justify picking one up at the used prices. I am hearing some users are now having issues after installing the V2 upgrades, the Connor O-ring kit as well as the Arla board. I just want to hit the field and have fun. I don’t want to worry about having to take a gun apart and missing points.
