But kids like that are a necessary part of this sport! They keep companies afloat by having their parents buy them the newest speedball marker every year or two and spending money they should have been saving for college on Dye apparel.

Anyways, back on topic... I'll gladly take my Ariakon over any 32 ball per second speedball marker you can name. Why? Because as DevilDog said, I don't NEED 32 balls per second to get eliminations. I like my Ariakon, and when I need to spray paint at somebody who's making a break, 8 balls per second is going to do me just as well as 32. My Ariakon is sturdy, reliable, doesn't look like a sci-fi ray gun, and shoots every bit as well as most any other marker you can name shot for shot. Rates of fire are not the ONLY thing to judge paintball guns by. Heck I regularly play with a PUMP marker both on speedball courses & in the woods and do better then many speedballers with $1000+ guns who can shoot 20 times as fast as me.
Use a gun you like and you're comfortable with. If you like your nme that's nice, but don't come in here telling us that's what we need to be using it because YOU like it, and that Ariakons such because they're not the nme. We don't go into your System X section telling you that the NME blows because it's bright colors give you away in the woods and if you drop it in the mud it'll short out or break.
Weighs less than a Timmy?! No way, dude! I'm totally getting it now because it's so lightweight!
