Poll: Milsim Marker Appeal

derf · 07-01-2009, 11:41 AM

Suppose tomorrow there's a new scenario / woods marker with the following features:

- 30 round mag-fed
- .68 cal
- Looks exactly like an M4 (including magazine)
- Performance virtually identical to Tippmann / BT4
- Mid / High end priced
- Low priced magazines

Now, the appeal is obviously for more conservative players who don't feel the need to empty cases of paint to score an elimination. Keep in mind the only competition to this would be:

- 17 round Milsig
- 18 round RAP4 T68
- 25 round ATS (with questionable looks, reliability and huge price)

Would you buy it?

Yes
Only because its mag fed.

Titus · 07-01-2009, 11:46 AM

What would the cost be?

palerider · 07-14-2009, 12:52 PM

Most likely not, I used to be into milsim, but any more I want a light weight, durable, marker. Good idea however

No, stocks hit on my mask.

cmosser502 · 07-14-2009, 01:09 PM

Yes, I would no doubt.... Assuming it's built of metal and excellent quality.

Dibs as a product tester? Also it have to be less than say $600 or so, the closer to 400 or 500 the better. Anymore for a mag fed seems too much, I already have 2 at85s.

Also, if it's stock, handguard, and grip were interchangable with the real thing that would be a big, big plus.

Yeah, at that point for 600+ bucks I'd just go get the Bob Long gun instead. At least the Marq platform is proven and the magazine option of the other marker wouldn't hold enough of a fixation for me (at that price point).

BTW: This sounds familar. Wasn't there a marker made in Canada like this? I think it was around $450US, but for the life of me I can't recall it's maker/name.
