Best marker for the money?
I think this is the appropriate forum for my question so here goes...
I started playing paintball about 6 years ago but have not played in about 3 years. I'm starting to get back into it again and am looking to buy a new marker and wanted some suggestions from fellow forum members who are more knoledgeable than myself (like I said i've been out of it for about 3 years and haven't followed all the new markers and technoledgy). Here's my situation... I've owned two previous markers (both several years ago) A tippman model 98 with flatline barrel, expansion chamber and gas through stock with remote, and my other was a Spyder TL Plus. The only mod on the Spyder was a barrel (can't remember exactly which one). I play as a rec player, mostly woodsball (capture the flag & center flag) and scenario games but have tried speedball and wouldn't mind playing more of that as well. I'm looking to spend in the $500-$600 (probably not over $600 total) range on a marker or marker and tank combo. I plan on using my Halo Backman hopper for the time being on the new marker. I want something that has a decent BPS rate so I don't get killed by the other people i'm playing with, with the faster markers. I would consider something new, or used if I can get a better gun for the same price (like from ebay or something). Does anyone have suggestions as to what I should get? Should I look for an electric full auto marker or semi auto? What about a tank?

full auto cant be used on most fields...and i would get the ICD B2K4 w/ pds...and then get a nitro tank...that should run you around 600 depending on where you get it...if you dont want to spend the extra money on a nitro tank then you could get an electro spyder and then upgrade it...i have a spyder fenix with an upgraded barrel and i love it...there are so many things you can do to a spyder...also you could get a tippman and get an R/T trigger or an electro trigger and a better barrel...the b2k4 is more for speedball as well as the spyders...tippmans are excellent woodsball markers

Rt ule mag is a very nice marker to have if you're into woodsball, scenario games and still want to play speedball
Cheap e bladed autococker is another suggestion.
Or a b2k or bko.

You could probably get a nice used impulse for that price range, or b2k.

B2k5 with pds is the best one in the price range.
