Hello folks. First off, I would like to say that I have read through all of the stickies here (big thank you to everyone that took the time to write all that stuff. Lots of good information in there.) but I am still not 100% sure what marker I should buy. OK, let me rephrase that: I'm not sure which marker I WANT to buy. I know that I SHOULD probably buy a Tippmann A-5 or 98 Custom, but honestly those markers just don't thrill me. I don't know if it's the fact that I saw them for sale at Wal-Mart or just that I've seen too many upgraded ones that look like imitation M-16's. They may be extremely reliable and all that but aesthetically, they're just not quite what I'm looking for. Of course, functionality should be the most important thing but looks should play a part too, no? Anyway, I'm hoping that the experts here can perhaps steer me towards a great marker that will serve me well for quite a while. I have been playing paintball for only a few months now but I absolutely love it. I have played only at one field so far and they usually play 4 or 5 games of woodsball and then 4 or 5 games of hyperball and alternate like that all day. I prefer woodsball and would like to spend more time playing that, but time will still be spent on the hyperball field. My play style is more aggressive; I like to be up front moving around instead of hanging in the back. I think I'd like to spend no more than $400 - $500 on my first marker. This being my first marker, I don't want/need anything too complicated but I do want something I can be happy with for a few years.
I appreciate any help anyone can lend to me. It is much appreciated.
