Which is better

[EMPIRE EMPEROR]

Depends on what you look for in a marker.

The Reflex is more egonomic, better looking, better board, and much, much quieter and smoother.

The Etek3 LT requires less maintenance, is more reliable, has better CS, and is much,much more efficient on air.

So will you sacrifice some routine maintenance time for a smoother quieter shot?

Or will you shot a Jackhammer/Cannon so you don't have to fill up your air every other game?

Your choice, but If it were I picking a $500 range gun; the Empire Axe and the MacDev Drone would be the guns I would be looking at.

They are much more well rounded and have far less extreme trade offs in performance. Both have similar efficiency levels to the Etek but are also nearly as smooth as the Reflex at the same time.

Unless you want superior efficiency or are timid to take your gun apart for maintenance as often, I would go with the Reflex.

I have a pmr and it really seems like almost the same gun, and easy matinence is good and so is reliability because i have no patience for bad guns
