What is the best paintball marker and hopper on the market these days?
ive been out of the paintball loop for a couple of years now and i recently moved to a city where the scene is just epic but i have out dated equip im sure... whats the best stuff out right now? marker,hopper, and tank wise? any new tech? im willing to blow 1G on a marker and 200 for the hopper and tank each.
SL 94 by planet eclipse, rotor hopper, 68ci air tank (nitro duck/gorilla air). I shoot a bob long closer though, $500 can't beat that, shoots great, not as good as the sl94 but not as expensive either. If i were you, which i pretty much had the same attitude when i got into it, i would search craigslist or the paintball forums and buy a used one and some midrange used gear and save your money for playing. You can easily get sponsored still playing with midrange gear and then you get screamin deals on the new stuff. Play more you will end up mowing down those noobs with shiny gats!
