SLG vs EOS vs RAIL ?

Hello i would like to know what gun is better between those 3 markers :


-Smart parts EOS
-Proto matrix SLG UL 09
-Proto matrix RAIL UL 09


Which has a better accuracy ?
Which is easier to clean/upkeep ?
Which has the best good-value ?

And if you tell me more about those markers please do

I started playing paintball about 7 months ago and i have a Spyder Xtra 09 rigth now but i'm not very pleased with it (i had some problems with leeks and with the spring of the trigger) so i wanted to buy a better one.

From your list its pmr>eos>slg

For the price of a pmr 09 you could get a used pm8 which is going to be cheaper and better.
Accuracy=how well you clean your marker/barrel and how good your paint is.
Cleaning wise, it wont be too hard. 20 mins of your time should be good enough.
Vaule? Is in best bang for the buck? PM8.

Thank you for your reply, i think i'm going to buy the pmr then (i live in France and i looked around if anyone was selling some used pm8 and it was just way to expensive for me )

I also heard the those gun were a bit hard for the setup before you play (around to 20min of settings each time you want to play) Is it true ? Because i don't know anything about setting, my spyder Xtra had only a little screw to tightened up or to loosened up is it still the same with the electronic markers ?

I think your talking about tuning your lpr and what not. It might be long at first but it'll be worth every minute.

Everything will be explained in the manual

If you ever lose you manual, or if you get an incomplete manual, you can always view an online PDF version of it on the manufacturers website

If you happened to get one, once you have it set up, you only ever have to set it up again after servicing the regs. Which you will only do once a year or so, depending on usage.

What does "servicing the regs" means ?(i'm french and my english isn't that great ^^' ) I also heard that there was a lot of joint breaking on the PMR is it true or it's that they don't take care of theirs makers very well ?

joint breaking? I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I'm going to say no. Noone I PERSONALLY know has had a PMR has had an issue with it that wasn't caused by them or an oring.

servicing regs = performing maintenance.
