So, new to paintball and looking for a marker, naturally a mate of my dads has a market he really ought to sell, would I be interested...

It's a merlin mayhem, also sold in the u.s as the nighthawk.

It's a nice looking pump action job, but can this marker of the 90's have any use in the current game of pump action paintball? Discuss.

Can never go wrong with an older pump. Put a derlin bolt in, lighter springs and a good barrel kit with regulator and you'll be set!

Standard Nelspot clones can still cut it on the paintball field. As long as it's functional, leak free and you can still source any parts for repairs... give it a go. Some early pumps were not internally adjustable for velocity, which makes them a pain to set up, as you have to resort to spring swapping and shimming.

I remember the Merlin Mayhem from playing in the '90's, brings back memories! Great gun then, well sought after so I can only assume that it'll still be half decent now.
