    A few months ago I asked about getting a free paintball marker because I couldn't afford one and start playing. Then you replied with lots of tips which I have now followed. I have been accepted into a team that sold me a cheap DYE m2 and equipment, I will now participate in my first tournament next weekend only thanks to you! Always remember that you can make a difference!

    As a person who played since early 2000, what PE has done by offering paintball community a gun like the Etha 3M is awesome, especially considering guns can get up to $2000 or more. For $400, it's is the ultimate walk-on, bush-ball, backyard-ball, mechanical tournament paintball gun. It is reliable, easy to service, plenty of aftermarket support to make it your own or to improve performance. When I started, guns in the $400 or below range were either unreliable, hard on paint, difficult to service, inefficient, and just problematic.

    First marker was a PMI Tracer pump. I was lifted it around 1998ish....I think? Haha damn, getting old sucks. Then came the Spyder Java Edition. Bright purple/chrome thing. Luckily, it shot lasers with whatever paint using the stock barrel. Just a good ol battle are. Now, DMR+ w/ IMpro kit & Parabolic Phi kit. Quiet and sips air. Fantastic setup.

      @MattTheGymRat I agree. Just got back into the game in March after a 21 year hiatus. Went to the field, played a few points with a Ryze field marker. A couple 2 and 3 pieces. Then two weeks later, the DSR+ arrived at the house. Shot ok with the stock UL but it left me wanting more. Tried a LAZR kit, liked. Then a guy that eventually became a teammate handed me a .685 Parabolic. Slowed it down to 280fps and holy crap was it accurate and quiet. Taking bodies on break out and corners every point. (Fat/old guy plays home until phase 2. Lol)

    Mech forces pure trigger work and accuracy. No more accuracy thru volume and laser beam marker ability. If you have trouble using a mech, you should take a step back and try using a pump. And learn real trigger work and one ball accuracy. If you can do that without modern marker, when you get a laser gun in your hands you will become that player the entire opposition team in aiming for. The marker doesn’t make the player.
