Mechanical Marker | Mechanical Markers
There are two main categories of semi-automatic markers: mechanical markers and electronic markers. Generally, mechanical markers have fewer components than electronic markers and fire paintballs at a slower rate, though it should be quickly noted that many mechanical markers perform at a very high level. Some mechanical markers include the Cocker M-1 from Air Challenger, the Tac-One from Airgun Designs, and the Hybrid Autococker from Powerlyte. Mechanical markers have components like two-piece barrels, milled bodies, trigger pulse kits, Sub-Zero feednecks, gas thru fore grips, and Pro Blade Triggers. Electronic markers have components such as anti-chop eyes, custom front regulators, adjustable firing modes, game counters, shot counters, and adjustable ram caps. Mechanical markers may be low-end or high-end. Low-end markers are considered good markers to learn with until you reach the semi-professional or professional level. Low-end mechanical markers also require less maintenance than electronic markers and are an easier marker to take care of until you really understand how to take care of your gun.
Once you really understand how to operate, clean, and maintain your gun, you may decide to upgrade to a high-end mechanical marker or an electronic marker. Some examples of low-end mechanical markers include the ZXS 500 from Zap, the Brawler from Viewloader and the WSF from Warsensor. The Warsensor WSF comes with many great standard components such as a bottom-line setup, quick strip pin, rubber contoured grip, aluminum double trigger frame, velocity adjuster, 12" aluminum barrel, matte finish hard anodizing, 4 sides sight rail, and vertical power feed. The WSF's matte finish makes it an ideal marker for scenario games and other types of paintball games where players don't want to draw attention to them. Other products from Warsensor include the Zeus Holster, Warsensor Tactical Vest, Zeus G1 Plus pistol, and WS66 SR low-end mechanical marker.
Other low-end mechanical markers include the WG-47 from Armotech, Piranha BL from PMI, and US-5 Mechanical from Pursuit Combat Systems (PCS). Many mechanical markers, including the US-5 Mechanical, are designed for scenario games. Other mechanical markers designed for MilSim games include the Pro Teams Products Tippmann Model 98 Sniper f/x Plus and the Miltec MT66-CQB. The MT66-CQB is composed almost entirely of durable metals so it can take a lot of bruising hits and crashes against the ground. The MT66-CQB includes an MT Barrel Extension, MT Short RIS Kit, and MT Tactical 1x30 Red Dot.
High-end mechanical markers have more high-end components that come standard with the machines. Some nice high-end mechanical markers include the VLE custom from Airgun Designs, Lightning Deluxe from Psycho Ballistics, and M1 from REX Paintball. The M1 has standard features such as an open-bolt design from rapid shooting and external adjustable 3-way valve.
