Wasn't a dig at you mate, not the way I work.
Was just explaining what I thought
Most of the o-rings used are used in the aerospace industry and often reach temps below zero.
Sorry if you think it was directed at you.

They do tend to fit them properly in the Aerospace industry though, don't they...rather than just plonk them in and let friction to all the work!Wasn't a dig at you mate, not the way I work.

Was contemplating getting new (especially the HPA bottle)
was thinking of spending about £300 for Marker, HPA and Hopper
thinking HPA 4500psi 1.1L £130
but i'm open to suggestions

Well. Hoppers are fairly expensive.
You could get an 05 Ego for £220 (one guy is desperate to sell on Classifides) and a 1.1 HPA 4500 preset for £65-80.
So thats £300 then just get a better hopper in a while.
Probably get an Egg for about £20.
Halo's are around £50-£60
Or...maybe a DM5 or 4 (very good gat's) for £140-£200
It is really unwise to buy new, when you first start out, especially if you are on a budget..if you aren't, you would just buy a better kit to start with.
If you bite the bullet, and get a decent gat and air system first, you won't be bitching about the Ion and 3000psi steel tank in your cupboard that you cant sell for half what you paid for it 3 months ago, which you don't use because you have a Ego, Dm, SHocker, Angel etc

True, the guy who trains us at work jumps 3 feet in the air whenever we don't put them on properly in the wingsThey do tend to fit them properly in the Aerospace industry though, don't they...rather than just plonk them in and let friction to all the work!
But yeah, try any marker before you buy it, I would get an ego as they are reliable and can hold their own against any marker out there.
Hopper-wise get something like an egg, hrd wearing relaible and cheap

I hardly think an Ego, holds it's own. An Ion holds it's own, a PMR hold's it's own...christ, a tricked up Spyder holds it's own.
An Ego holds it's, protects yours and rips off everyone elses mate..blimey, way to undersell a legend!
ego
i agree but the more student freindly option would be to have a pmr, more dosh freindly yet still decent enough.
but yeah the ego would be on my list!!!
my advice would be to back up what everyone else has said though and try as many markers at training feilds and wlk ons as possible. most people will let you have a hold or a game. but youll soon develop a feel for what you like. i chose the ion because its full of plastic so it can take quite a hard knock. (i hope).
anyway egos a good choice, so is the pmr and the ion is pretty much perfect for a starter marker.
but then your probbly not a student so the top part oges out of the window.
good luck with paintball though. if you anything like me youll love it.

How easy is it to maintain/upgrade ego's (ego 05)?
Also how robust are they?

The ego isnt my choice of gun but it certainly tops the pack in those areas.
