Best Backman Marker?

onasilverbike

I'm a country member!
I'll take an Angel, I like them, find them fast, and accurate, low maintainance, good with paint (once their bedded in and properly set up) and very, very good on gas (LP you see).

Shooting an A4 fly with a sexy Orbium barrel kit, 12", 14" or 16" and an 05 Speed with a freak/AA 14".

While the 16" barrel isn't really any more accurate it does intimidate :D and the Orbium is so quiet they often don't know where its comming from:eek: sbd :D

I know the Angel has its knockers, plenty of them, but just look at how Joy have dominated CPL this year:cool:

I'm going to have a play with a few shootas over the summer, with a view to upgrading in autumn, not that I need to, just the idea of a newer lighter gun appeals.

If you're going for an Angel, I would say for a speed, 05 or later, what a lovely magnetic roller bearing trigger, or an A4 fly, or G7/Fly, you just need those eyes man! Cant coment on the A1 yet, haven't shot it!

If you are having problems with your DM4 then give DYE Europe a ring and a tech wil be happy to talk you through anything you need to know.

As for playing back with it.... I can get 8-9 140 shot pods + hopper out of mine. Stock bolt, stock board etc.

If you set them up right and keep your o-rings in good condition you should have no problems.

At the end of the day if you are getting rid of it because you want something else then try the guns out and choose what you like.

DM6 light, fast, accurate you could say alot of money but then again worth every penny anyone who says their 2 high maintence is lazy unless you do summit stupid all you gotta do is lube the bolt ever so often.

Well i shot a PM5 the other day and its extremely quick and accurate, and i geuss thats all a back player need for his gun, you need a halo or reloader b to keep up with it.
Try an get a new barrel for it, possibly a freak.

I'd stick with your DM4 they are good markers you just need to lube the bolt every now and then and get it setup right, which isn't that hard.

Check out the matrix owner forums http://forums.matrixowner.com/ there is tonnes of information on here.

The DM5/DM6/PM's etc. have got a few extra features and are a bit lighter but they are essentially the same inside.

Or if you find the Ego a little out dated now try the Angel A1. :p

Just use what marker your happy with all the top line up do the same, some just need a bit more loobing and playing with “O” rings.

Tippy, Angel, Shocker, DM, Ego gets in there suppose….

Do what i did mate, i went down eclipse on saturday to get a few bits, bottle cover, kit bag, upgrades for my ion etc.. but whilst they were fitting my upgrades for me:) i asked to have a look at some egos, the guys will jsut let you try them and see how you like them, theyll show you how it fires and everything if you ask :) i hada lok at one fo the etek's and fell in love with the thing, never liked egos until i went down and jsut out of curiosity wanted to have a lok, now i want one, but jsut a money issue, so hopefully for christmas or next year gonna try and get an etek :) :) :) and if you've any problems or want to know anything planet can help, if you ask theyll give you the tech centre number aswell :) but id reccomend trying an ego at planet, if you liek then get one, if you decie after a tourny/gmae you dont can always sell it near new price:)

DON'T DISS IONS THEY KICK ASS!!!!:)

Today just played a game in the masters, played back for 3/4 of the game and i was using my PM5, its so fast and accurate and not to heavy either so no need to drop your gun when your arms get tired:D Personally the PM5 is a sweet backman gun and just shove a virtue board in there and you'll be sorted.
