Spiders are way louder than any etek had time to be

Is the Etek in comparison as loud as a 98c?

No, its not as loud as a 98c, but it is very loud. I can always tell when my friend is shooting, it has a very sharp crack sound.

The etek would be a great choice the reflex trigger is pretty bad the Etha is a pretty good gun but the etek is worth the extra 100-150$

You think that the 2013 reflex trigger is...bad?

I can only share with you my experience with the Etha. So here's my review.

Quote

I love the Etha. It's my first marker and it feels reliable as hell while being backed by a great company. However, if you're looking for something smooth then you would probably want to stay away from this one. You do get some vibration and pinging noise from the spring (tends to fade when broken in I notice) as people state which are things that I can live with. So why do I love my Etha so much?

Packaging:
- Comes with a nice set of allen keys, huge parts kit, lube, 14.5" Shaft 4 barrel, very detailed manual, great quality barrel sock, and a nice sturdy case.

Reliability:
- It's a very durable marker built to the same standard as the Ego, Geo, or Etek platforms but at a more affordable price. It was designed to be able to take some hits, be waterproof, and perform even during cold or hot temperatures. Check out the video below.

Efficiency:
- Better than your traditional spool... Some say this is more of a poppet marker even. Flame shield activate!

Bolt:
- Simple design, easy maintenance with a rubber bolt tip. You can remove it easily with or without an allen key. This marker was designed to perform as a tournament level entry marker so it can handle the brittlest of paint without a problem. I shot GI Sportz 4 Stars (not fresh... it was oily and had dimples) with the Etha without a problem. I have also used Empire's RPS Evil with the marker and it didn't skip a beat.

Board:
- Super bright LED light which means you can easily adjust any setting even on the sunniest day. The board is super easy to use and on the back of the grip there is a mini-manual in case you forget which color is which setting.

Ergonomics:
- I love how it only uses 1 screw meaning faster access to batteries, tourney lock, etc... It feels durable and comfortable at the same time as opposed to other grips that I feel is too much rubber and can wear out faster.
- The asa is simple and a breeze to use. I love how the macroline does not protrude from the side but direct onto the asa.
- The trigger I would say is best in class for it's price range. 3 point adjustable and comfortable on your finger.
- Easy access to eyes and detents.
- It has the same amazing regulator used by Eclipse's Geos and Egos.
- Lever-lock clamping feedneck
- Composite parts... While some people don't like it they cannot deny that composite is simply more durable and cheaper to make. It's even used on real modern weapons!

Modular:
- Last but not least you can add an "EMC Rail Kit" to the Etha which is an optional attachment that you can add to the marker to make it look more tacticool. Therefore, you will be able to make your Etha adapt into a woodsball or speedball environment without changing guns. It's AWESOME!

great gun
great value

I have personally used a 2012 reflex shock isn't differ at all compared to the 2013 model. It's soooo quite, smooth, and feels amazing in the hands. The trigger is nice and is farely simple to operate. That's the gun I would be shooting for if I was you.

The 2012 trigger is really stiff even with it loosened and I never felt the 2013 but I plan on to do so

no.

Etek 4 is loud and a lot of kick. Etha is nice for the price but i do think the reflex would be a better option. Actually, if i were you i would get a 2011 or 2012 reflex. The price for those are going to be dirt cheap and essentially they are the same gun. The 2011 has the same internals as the other ones, 2012 all they changed was the ASA and trigger (you can buy the blade trigger for like $30 and put it on the 2011), and 2013 they changed the milling and made new colors. All the 2011 2012 and 2013 will shoot incredibly similar and incredibly smooth. Overall though I think a reflex would be a better choice but i would save money and get an older one

*has a lot of kick

always notice my errors after I post.
