1) CHARACTER - My mag, Orracle and GX-3 have it, yea i could shoot a DM13 but who really honestly wants a gun that hasn't changed in 5 years and still being charged over 1k, same goes for egos not much has really changed since 07 (flame away DYE and PE dick riders) i simply DGAF.

2) Ergo's - lets be honest, the guns gotta just feel right in the hands

3) Options - im a tinkerer so if i can buy something basic like a 68 classic mag, throw some cash at it and make it lighter and faster or swap from a single to double frame on a whim im all over it

4) Reliability - i've got more guns sure but if i'm wanting to pick up the shocker then i want it to work

5) Looks - ehh don't mean that much to me personally but they don't hurt, especially with something like a Timmy

6) Efficiency - I do consider myself fairly lucky to have all day air at my field and any other fields i go to so not that big of a deal

For Spools is it a DM? I love the DM line things shoot great look great and feel great. And buying used ones is always fun.

For Poppits is it an Ego? Things shoot great, look great, feel great always go bang and they are just awesome in general.

Call me a fanboy but this is the truth!

Is it an Ego or Etek? Yea thats pretty much all I look for.
Come for my guns and I will gladly give you my bullets.

Durability
Reliability
Price
Parts commonality

I live hours away from the nearest pro-shop, and it doesn't always carry the parts I need anyway. So durability has to be a factor when I chose a marker. I currently use a tippmann 98 custom for that reason (no, I'm not one of those people who thinks that tippmans are the best paintball guns in the world...that's just silly.) The 98c fits every single one of those criteria above. Even if its not the best in any one of those except maybe durability.
We deal in paint friend.

1. Something that works
2. Everything else is negligible.
