      Imho, CS3 is much smoother, i bought my new and have already 220.000 on my counter since last year and i must say, this is first gun that is so nice, i had only 16 barrel breaks and 0 breach chops/breaks... I had Luxe X and TM40 and those models destroyed my trust in Luxe, soo many problems, there was not one day with out balls breaking and choping in the breach, no new software updates not even aftermarket bolts helped, i have only one luxe, a 2.0 with ENCORE Bolt, waaaay better than X and TM40
      PS: I have over 50 high end Guns but CS3 has it all, nice build quality, very good grips, and super easy maintance, the LUXE is kinda cold and boring in my opinion, and i think those new bolt upgrades wont eliminate all those previous problems

    I feel like paintball gun prices really haven't changed all that much YOY. From the early 2000s to now the fact is, prices are way better than it was when I first started out. A beginner gun back in the day that wasn't a absolute dumpster fire costed at least 3-500 bucks brand new. No eyes and no electronics, that was sometimes with upgrades lol. The guns that were electronic had no eyes and were 700+. Nothing you bought out of the box was good on it's own if it wasnt called Dye, Bob Long, or Angel. Beginners coming into the game now get way more value then any of us got back in the day. High end guns have gotten way cheaper too. People spent dam near 3k for high end. You can get into the high end now for $1200 With a Luxe which is insane value. Used for 600 or less! Paintball is still expensive for dam sure, but it's gotten way better over the years with everything you get.

      the advances in manufacturing and technology over the years has been great for the player. you get so much more for your money now than ever. I remember when I started and spyders were 300, most ppl starting out ran a 200 dollar tippmann 98 haha. There was huge aftermarket in paintball for a solid 15 years though simply bc very few companies offered markers that had enough features out of the box so ppl were still buying aftermarket for both performance and customization. today the platforms as essentially maxed out, now its just buy whos colors you like best or whos ergonomics you like best

    • @wendull811
      @wendull811 Місяць тому

      I started on a tippmann 98. Then the guy at the pro shop told me. The marker doesn't make a good player it just makes it easier due to the volume it will fire. So he sold me a hopper and high end air tank before a marker and encouraged me to work on the basics and get the marker last. I did that and it was amazing when I got my proto matrix rave edition. Since I had the basic techniques down it made the jump to an electronic marker that much more satisfying.

    I think your right the price is getting a little out of hand they need to add more barrel bores to the kit and when I have a tricked out ETHA3 that holds water next to all these high price guns and all I did was put an extra $300.00 into the engine in my marker I did spend $1000.00 less and still have a great marker. They need to bring the price down but it's still a great marker.

      @@MattTheGymRat I am saying to me the changes over a TM40 arent worth it to me to buy a whole new marker. Granted I am running a F-16 bolt so some of the things I consider an upgrade for the bolt system like the fact that its not just a hollow face anymore are kind of negated. If I were in the market for something all new and had the money the IDOL would be on my list. But for those looking for a good tournament ready marker thats going to shoot in my opinion a very similar manner and have all the tool less features plus have a very good mechanical platform the TM is a killer deal right now. When you can buy a TM at a similar price point to shockers and even the 180r its definitely something you should look at.

    At 1800 with such minor practical changes, i dont believe it's worth it. The form changes are nice (screen trigger etc) and most of the other changes were fixing issues that a proper design should never have had to begin with. They sell the shocker era for 1k with the same core and i think that is priced too high as well.

Then the gas system was like 400-700 bucks followed by a good hoper and those where 80-250. When it was all said and done I would have been happy to be done for 1000-1500 bucks but having pro level gear was gonna put you at 2k-5k for every thing. Could be more if you played competitive cause most of those guys had a spare gun. I was happy to only spend 1500-2500 on my full set up cause I was mid upper range of comp guns with my auto cocker or bob long set up. And don’t even get me started and building and fully tuning a from the ground up auto cocker with and blade….

      I was thinking the same thing! When I played in the mid 00’s, the Angel 4 was my dream marker. I was fresh out of high school and couldn’t fathom spending multiple thousands on one though. I had about $800 in my Dragun TES (with mods) and could barely compete with the Angels, Timmy’s and Autocockers. $1800 is still a lot of money, but it doesn’t seem like inflation has touched this market much, especially considering the amount of tech in these markets compared to 20 years ago!

"mid range" has become beyond that when the mid is now 1000-`1200 and things like mini,axe,czr are considered your entry level tournament marker when they would of been mid end about 8 yrs ago. Im a big proponent for a redesigned infinity legend as that marker offered so much in its price point and today manufacturing costs are actually less than they were back then as well as technologies improved that a revised 2.0 essentially of the legend and if able to maintain in that 7-800 range would outsell the 1k+ "mid end tier"

    I got a TM40 and I don’t really see a difference at all. The screen looks awful and I’d much rather have a little screen. It’s not like you change the settings of the marker so often you’d need a screen as big as this. It just looks unfinished compared to the TM40 but maybe that changes. But degeneracy not worth the upgrade

    I've never gotten into paintball, always been a speedQB guy, but the few paintball games I've played have been a blast.
    I say that to say this:
    From the outside looking in, watching hundreds of reviews on dozens of paintball markers over the years, it's become extremely apparent that these companies are charging you 100% for the machining and screwing you with everything else. Literally every marker review ends with a "6/10 or 7/10 just needs XYZ and the screen/buttons suck, but it's a great marker"

    Does it shoot 10.5 bps? Is it gas efficient? Reliable? That's about all you need in a marker now. Use the 1800 dollars on actually playing paintball and get better. Besides going macro less and using 2 AAs i haven't seen much innovation in paintball markers in well over a decade.
    Heck an automag RT can shoot ~25 bps without shoot down.

    • @MattTheGymRat
      @MattTheGymRat  4 місяці тому

      Youre right and those were some big changes. I think we are onto the era where we focus on efficiency and paint handling. Like the optimizing stages where as before we were in the early innovative stages of paintball markers.

      @@MattTheGymRatI get that companies need a steady flow of revenue coming in to keep them afloat so it makes sense to tweak their markers, add blue tooth, fancy LED screens, etc. but in reality you could easily out gun all of the players on the field with an 07 ego and that's approaching 20 years old, gasp! Personally I think the big innovations need to come from figuring out how to popularize the sport (again?) and how to get an audience excited to watch it. I don't know if electronic markers are the answer/solution there, perhaps pump markers would be far better since there would be far more movement on the field. Figuring out how to make paintballs better/cheaper would be another large area of improvement. As far as efficiency goes is that really a major concern? What's really stopping people from buying two 68/4500 tanks if they need to? Just my two cents on things especially hopping back into paintball after a few years of not playing.

    NOTE: If you bought a model year 2001 Angel with today’s money, it would cost over $2600. Prices have significantly fallen. Also paintball guns are not like other pieces of technology because manual labor makes up a significant portion of the cost of creating a paintball marker. Additionally they don’t really benefit from economies of scale, because the quantity being produced in the first place is not particularly large. Worker wages in China have also increased.

    After your latest mini videos, there really is no reason to spend this much. A midrange is about all you need at most.

I think tops for the average baller is around 1k but the smart guy buys a year or two old marker for half the price. Look at the TM40s now selling around 700 or even less!
