  • Answer:

    If you want an honest answer from someone who has been playing for over 15 years, once you get into that price range, there's little difference. NO field is going to allow you to shoot over 15bps. So being capable of 25+bps is completely pointless. Second, they're all close enough in efficiency. Unless you're a professional back player shooting nearly a case in one game, spitting 1200 instead of 1100 balls from one 68/4500 fill is close enough. Odds are you won't shoot half that in one game. And you can refill before every single game in two seconds. Third, consistency. Consistency = accuracy. It's really one of the only things that the marker itself dictates that affects accuracy. But again, most of these markers are all pretty darn close. They'll probably all be +-3fps. And this is mainly dependent on the inline regulator. Slapping a high quality $100 regulator on a $200 marker usually yields the same, or better, results. Outside of performance, it's just ease of cleaning/maintenance that differs marker to marker. And overall size, weight and looks obviously (but honestly doesn't matter much to me). You might also look at which marker is more popular. Thereby this usually means it has the largest scene of aftermarket parts available. And that's really all there is to it. It's simply a burst of air that propels a ball out of a tube. It's not rocket science, like so many people try to make it.

For the most part, it comes down to preference. They're all considered mid level markers. I'd actually throw the Etek 3 out of the list because owners say it's loud as a cannon with just as much kick until you install a Cure bolt & Zick2 kit (hammer upgrade), making the end cost rather high. Throw the G4 out, too, it's not as impressive as the rest. Mini is a nice one, but it really needs an on/off asa, and it can only take the Empire Relay as an asa upgrade, since it's also the regulator. Another possible extra cost. Leaves you with the FX and Etha, which is a tough call. If it were me, I'd go with the Etha, but only because I have a preference for single tube bodies (lower profiles, usually less weight because of it). Now all of these require gps (compressed air). If you currently use cold, you will need a new tank, an air tank.

Etek3 is by far the best on that list. It's considered a high end while the others are all mid. If you have any other questions, post up on www.paintballforum.com !

For the money.... the Invert Mini is far and away the best on that list.
