2 year old Proto SLG vs new Azodin Zenith. Would like to hear what people think would be a better gun. Would like for people who have handles both of them to chime in. There both about the same price.

SLG's seem to be prone to problems (like runaway full auto.) Azodin Zenith is a old design that's well understood and easy to maintain.

I would never buy an SLG.

What is the price? I wouldn't choose to buy either of those gun to tell you the truth. There is such a plethora of great guns for super cheap nowadays, you really don't need to get something cruddy to save cash.

Still one of the funniest paintball videos I've ever seen. Stay away from the SLG.

Oh my lord how that snowballed haha. My friend has an SLG and it has some problem with the bolt constantly coming apart. I can't comment on the zenith other than it seems rather expensive for an e-spyder clone. I'd get a kaos before a zenith. You can get a used mini for the same amount as well as other old high ends.

If you have a max of $200 to spend what gun would you get? new or used. What should I be looking for?

do the matix and the rail have the same problems

Definitely not. My 09 rail was one of the best guns I ever owned.

I'd say in the $200 price range you'd be looking at Invert mini, dm6 (maybe), 05 ego, pm7. Get something that has eyes, a decent name behind it (with good customer service).

Azodins are actually pretty nice. I shot nofxkid's Kaos semi today and it was really smooth and quiet. I was not expecting a blowback to feel that good.
