Things ain't half changed...

[Damnation]

Hi all,

I've just got back into playing after a good 9 year break

When I used to play Cockers and Mags ruled the roost, and as the title says, it's obvious things have moved on a bit.

I've got my head round most of the kit out there, and I've figured the Ego is probably the top end marker, whilst Ion seems best value for money - and before anyone says it, I dare say it can mix it with the more expensive markers.
Can any of you guys tell me what the main differences are between: Shockers / PM5's / DM5's / Impluse/ or guide me to any similar markers, and any guide to what I should be paying second hand.

And FFS, what's an OOPs.

Cheers,
Andy.

Shockers / PM5's / DM5's / Impluse

Shockers, made by Smart Parts, mid-high end gats, fast, light, distinctive sound. depending on year etc, around £300-400

PM5, Proto Matrix 5. The first Matrix made by Proto. Small, Fast, light, and very reliable. £280 region

DM5s, Dye Matrix 5. Dye's 05 matrix. very similar to a PM5 in essence. £300 region second hand.

Impulse, havent got a clue, never shot one.

If you're looking for a good deal on a PM5, let me know, I have several ex team guns for sale at the moment

And i thought "oops" was a mistake.

Not playing for 9 odd years was a mistake!! I've got the bug back, and in a big way.

Just another newbie Q, What's a drop forward? I probably new once but its been a while....

it does exactly what it says on the tin, it drops your bottle forward to give you a shorter/tighter setup

*EDIT* PMs and DMs ROCK!

Obvious really, i'm still working in old money of bottom lines and P/T stocks.

ok mate if you want to do recball your best bet is something like a cocker or a5 but if you want to do supair i would head towards an ego they are like £350 at the moment a steal me thinks and are easy to clean and service any more questions just ask

i wouldnt recommend a cocker for rec-ball or a newbie as there is to much external workings to get clogged up with crap, they are also a high maintenance marker for a guy that hasnt played for a while, just my opinion
