Ego

Ok, well, I got an Ego recently, so I will review it and compare it to other guns I have owned.

Weight
The weight is the thing that first made me love the gun. Way lighter than a DM5 or an Angel, and a little lighter than an Alias. Lightest gun on the market.

Size
Super small. Way smaller than a DM5, a bit smaller than an Alias, a little smaller than an Angel. Super small gun, very short.

Trigger
The stock trigger is awesome and easily adjustable and feels really nice and super smooth.

Speed
Fast.

Efficiency
Very efficient, I get around 5 pods and a halo off of 3000, so you do the math for a 4500 fill. (68ci tank)

Regs
Really consistant for stock regs. I think the HPR is a CP copy. I was getting +/- 3.

Pros
Small
Light
Efficient
Fast
Consistant
Nice Trigger
Good stock parts
Easy to maintain

Cons
Bouncy
Hard to get it set up not to kick
Loud

Overall
I cannot see myself shooting another gun for a while. An Ego with Moose settings is the absolute best gun on the market right now.

But to stay on topic, Egos are amazing guns. Stock you have PSP, CFOA, NPPL, and I think Millenium with a couple others I forgot. Might wanna add that.

Dude a shocker is lighter. Too bad an Ego shoots better then a shocker.

Nice review. I'm wanting an Ego but don't have the money for it. Maybe next season.

I think it's amazingly funny how not to long ago you and Barber were talking **** about Egos Nick. Now Barber thinks it's the best gun on the market and you want one.

ppls views change. I used to think egos looked horrible especially w/ the way the back looks (around where the top tube has been cut off) but now, i don't mind them.

Good review.

I wouldn't shoot an Ego without Moose settings.

what do you mean moose settings? I'm considering getting an ego, i play front. How do you compare it to a dynasty/Hybrid shocker?
