Need Help Choosing My New Gun

Hey, well I've been paintballing for quite some time now with my kingman pilot acs. Now I need to advance to the next level. Some of my choices are the Kingman VS3, Invert Mini, or a Bob Long intimidator. But I have never shot either of those. I also have a budget of under 600$. Can anyone help me out a lil bit?

Out of all of those I would say go with the Mini, the VS3s are just wastes of money. I've held the mini I I think that it's very comfortable, the only thing is that it's still kind of new so there's really no ups for it except for barrel, but is still a nice gun.

What loader should I get if I get the mini? I was thinking the Egggo but my friend said I don't need a loader that feeds that fast

the ego isn't a loader. it's a marker.

Get a high-mid end hopper. The mini will shoot as fast as any marker out there.
Ive also held and fired the mini and I gotta say it's just incredible.

Would a Kingman Fasta be a good loader for it?

it's a pretty new loader so not many people know a lot about it. I've seen it feed pretty fast on videos, but i have no clue how it would do in real life tests

How about a Viewloader Revolution Force Paintball Loader. It's 30$ and it feeds 18 bps.

Mini 400$
HPA 68/4500 = 170 $
Vlocity jr = 100 $
Total 670 $, you'll have to choose a cheaper marker. Have you ever think getting an Ion ? I know alot got them but they shoot pretty fine and since you're not a noob it could be a nice introduction to EP markers.

NO no no, that loader is feeding constantly (not sound or eye activated), so it's always running, eating alot batteries is really annoying. Get a nice eye-activated hopper, like the new VL eye force, or a Vlocity Jr.

Either that or look for a used EP marker. There are tons in the BST forum and on EBay.

Yea i know that i can find cheaper tanks, but I wouldn't myself cauz I can't trust someone I don't know (I'm a kinda paranoiac )

Yeah the new VL EYE force, and not the revolution force, seems to be good. Actually I've send a mail to Viewloader to ask why the Vlocity Jr is more expensive than the new Vl eye force, caus both are force feed, and feed to 20 bps on marker...

I'll post their answers when I'll get it

if you're cheap and don't wanta buy a used tank then get a steel tank. you can upgrade later. (steel tanks are stronger too but they're heavy and normally 3000psi)

Why get the velocity JR. when it feeds20 bps on marker feed rate, and when the egg gives you 23 bps

I'd say your best bet is to buy used, and you can go to pbnation for a lot of used stuff that's still in good condition. And if you don't trust them for some reason, you can always go to Welcome to TradeMyGun but they also have new and used gear as well as used and new guns.
