What you guys think of the EGO

BEEJ · 11-14-2004, 12:28 AM

ok i know eclipse had a testing range setup for it and was wondering what all you guys thought about it who shot it. i would like to know how consistent and small it is too

DarthAlan · 11-14-2004, 12:42 AM

No big deal. Looks like all the other newer markers. Just like the Bushmaster 05 but $700 more.

I don't know about you guys, but I shot it and fell in love with it. The marker was light and very responsive. The quality of the marker is outstanding. I have owned and used most of the top rated markers out there and I was impressed with this. Maybe it's just me, but it felt so natural in my hand. The gun was fast and did not have any trigger bounce. I think Eclipse has a winner on the EGO, but that is just my take on it and I have an Angel, Timmie, Matrix and B2K2 to compare it with. The Freestyle was nice also, but I like the EGO better.

So a word of advice. Everyone has their own preference. Try all the markers you are interested in and find what you like and what feels comfortable to you before spending your hard earned money. PEACE!

dam i wish i was there to shoot the EGO and watch XSV, too bad i wasn't strap for cash at the moment, now i just have to sit at home and watch from my computer.

Well i shot this thing and it rips like no other...its way consistant and it looks like a million bucks but yea it is way over priced

cliff_hopper · 11-15-2004, 10:49 PM

very ****ing small...i'm thinking they didn't have a fast enough hopper

i got it to bounce though

rossmunford · 11-15-2004, 10:59 PM

It seemed like an Eblade cocker with no kick

dannyyy · 11-15-2004, 11:02 PM

I hated it, especially for the price. The eyes just sucked, u cant deny that. When i ran outta the t balls things, so i was dryfiring, 1 out of every four shots actually shot, with the eyes on. I was deffinately not impressedm it seemeed like a wanna be timmy with crappy eyes.

AlTeCk · 11-15-2004, 11:19 PM

It was light and pretty fast, but i wouldnt spend $1250 for it.

do you own a Timmy? that's how E-Blade eyes work...if they don't sense a ball in the breech they set the delay to something like 1bps to allow time for paint to load...personally i liked the Ego...it was everything i would want a marker to be...light, fast, responsive, recoilless...i couldn't get it to bounce...it had less kick than the DM5 at the DYE booth...pretty quiet too...only bad thing about it is the price...
