Gday,
Iv'e been playing paintball/skirmish for a while now, (few years) but only ever used A-5s or 98 customs (those are the 2 most common rental/hire markers at comps n stuff) but recently Ive been looking for something to call my own.... So this is where YOU come in, Im lookin for a reliable, fast, user (read "idiot") friendly gun/marker. Ive been looking, readin as much as I can about the proto rail/matrix/slg gear. Budget is no worries for any of these markers.
Important pieces of info:
I play woods/indoor/speedball.
I go through insane amounts of ammo every time I get hold of a paintball gun.
I prefer to be able to do quick changes on the field if i have to (ammo/battery etc)
I want to know that if I pick my gun up and go out to a comp, its going to work, again and again and again.
So based on this, any thoughts or opinions?
Cheers

I think the best marker for you would be a PMR. With all of the different styles of play this is a very good marker. It can keep up with the higher end markers, but still has a lesser expensive price tag. This is also a very reliable marker.

ok, so if I do get one, what would be the straight up modifications?? barrel trigger hopper and such?

With the newer 09 and 2010 PMR you dont really need any upgrades from stock. UL Frame and trigger, Ally back cap and a better feedneck, plus a 2 peice barrell.. Awesome right out of the box!.

You can get aftermarket boards and barrells and stuff, but might aswell spend your money on paint

Thanks heaps bro!! Ill go out give it a lash first up, then see if I wanna change it then. Cheers
