Ego 09 VS Axe

[Dr Fingers]

You'll find a lot of people who will testify to the reliability and efficiency of Egos. I tend to prefer spoolie markers but always keep an Ego in my kitbag as a back up. Oil the bolt and away you go with no hassle. Other than milling and minor changes (e.g. screen size increase) Ego hasn't chnaged hugely since the Ego 09 so is great value. The board it comes with is more than adequate and while you can alter the board and bolt you really don't need to.

Owned an 09 kept the Axe so prefer it, axe is way more efficient than the 09 and smoother with it

Not wanting to Thread jack at all, just wanting to ask how the Axe is more efficient than the Ego ?

Surely the Ego as a poppet would be slightly more air efficient than a spooly ?
Please correct me if i'm wrong though.

If efficiency is what your after start lookng at Bob Long markers, the G6rs can shoot more pods from a tank than any other marker I've owned.

I cant say if one is more efficient than the other but you know the axe is an inline poppet right?

Don't know how or why it's more efficient its what I've found it to be.

Out of curiosity Tricky what's settings do you run your axe at? (operating pressure, dwell, etc.) Furthermore, do you run the stock bolt?

 

[TrikkyD]

My axe is upgraded with an Infamous Boss bolt and spring kit, however a team mates up is factory stock bolt/settings and running 190~200psi he was still getting 6plus pots out of a 3k fill on a 1.1l bottle

Nope, didn't know that, thought it was a full on spooly like a DM etc.

Cheers for the info.

Trikky - what spring do you use on your Infamous bolt? Also, what dwell?

I have one, 140psi, 4ms dwell, medium spring. I have to chrono it but it 'feels' about right when I test fire it.

I too have no experience with the EGO, however, a team member was EGO made before we moved into the Empire stable and now wouldn't swap his AXE for anything else.

I also love my AXE's over any other marker I have ever owned.

Looks wise is the only issue I have with an AXE. They are generally 'bland' compared to most other markers. That said, we have several of the XSV edition versions on the team which are really nice and also my favorite is my 1 of 1 AXE.

Both XSV (post #1) and my 1 of 1 (post #20) can be seen here:- http://p8ntballer-forums.com/threads/just-collected-some-new-toys.150203/
