High-End Mechanical Markers
Mechanical markers can match up well to electronic markers like the ANS Razor Ion, but there are some differences. In general, firing a single shot requires users to put more pressure on the trigger with mechanical markers than with electronic markers. Also mechanical markers usually have one firing mode, while electronic markers can have multiple firing modes. With mechanicals, a player can get a single out of the paintball gun with each trigger pull. With electronic machines, users can sometimes get more than one shot. In speedball format tournaments though, players are almost always required to set their marker to semi-automatic firing mode. Mechanical markers usually have fewer components because they don't have all the electronics that machine the electronic markers. Though mechanical markers don't have parts such as batteries and circuit boards, they can still fire at a rapid rate. For this reason, players wielding mechanical markers can still play competitive paintball against anyone, though it should be noted that most players in championship speedball tournaments use high-end electronic markers. These markers are usually the most expensive products on the market, but they also perform very well. Some high-end electronic markers include the Game Face Thunder Impulse Vision, the Imperial Paintball Predator Impulse, the JMJ Concepts Featherlight Viking, and the Murder Inc. B2K.
Mechanical markers do not always have electronic components like start up screens, sub miniature solenoid and integrated manifolds, and TT filter Debounce Software, but as Mr. Miyagi would say, quality is more important than quantity. Mechanical markers can still fire as fast as a player can pull the trigger, and they can still be very accurate from a long range. Mechanical markers are usually easier to maintain and they are usually less expensive. Most paintball guns used for scenario games and Big games are mechanical markers. Some examples of MilSim markers include the Nasty Typhoon from Palmers Pursuit Shop, Longbow from Special Ops Paintball, and Trilogy Tactical from Worr Game Products. The Trilogy Tactical is loaded with components such as a push button safety, micro polished RAM, pull-pin, newly integrated three way, velocity adjustor, and nickel aluminum bolt.
If you are in the market for a mechanical marker there are two types to choose from: high-end mechanical markers and low-end mechanical markers. Low-end mechanical markers include the SIM-4 R.I.S. from Araikon, WG-65 A2 from Armotech, JCS MKX8 from Blackpoint Engineering, and Spyder Sonix Pro from Kingman. High-end mechanical markers include the Spool M-1 from Air Challenger, ULE Custom from Airgun Designs, and 68 Super Marker from G-Force Technologies. The 68 Super Marker uses only the best materials and was CAPCAM designed to fire fast and straight ahead. Other high-end mechanical markers include the Evolution-X from Belsales Performance.
