Your Favorite Nelson-Based That Isn't a Phantom or Carter

[glaman5266]

I LOVE that LNIB Tigershark. Every time I see that I smile.

What’s that custom green one you shoot based off of? That thing is awesome! It obviously shoots good I get smacked in the lens regularly by it.

I have 40 Nelson based guns from about 20 different companies, not counting my Phantoms. My first pump was a Razorback, so I'm partial to that style. just love the feel of the metal knurled pump. My second love was Bushmaster. Smooth pump stroke and that beautiful trigger frame.
There are some really nice Nelson guns with unique features out there, they always make me happy when i shoot them.

BT/empire Trracer has a high fun factor

Pmi tracer, hornet, tagmaster, maverick hands down

I'd probably say Sterlings, if they have a better velocity adjuster and a vertical adapter. I'd say Avratech Falcon if it didn't have the autotrigger bug. The Avratech Retro 7 is definitely my real favorite. It's the ultimate nelson; cocker threaded, in grip 12g changer, and modular to the point that it makes Phantoms cry. After that, the Kingman Hammer, as long as it has the aluminum trigger. It's literally a better Trracer. Brass internals that are super smooth, a metal trigger frame that still takes m16 blocks, and with a barrel thread that actually has aftermarket options. Like I said, you just have to make sure you get the metal framed version. The plastic frames are really junky.

I've had numerous pumps over the years, and the one I haven't gotten rid of is my Hammer A. I've had it for 15ish years now. The internals are all brass, and if you take the time to polish them up, the pump stroke is one of the smoothest I've shot. Spyder threads are a major plus, too. I run a Freak. Rollouts just aren't a problem. Kingman got everything right with this one.

Tagmaster/Hornet. I swear, best value in paintball. And pump rods under the barrel is WAY better than the Trracer/Maverick configuration, no screws to lose.

Despite their clunky appearance, these are really comfortable markers.

Yeah more barrel options be nice. I ordered a 12” palmers solid brass barrel in .680 and it’s been awesome. It’s EPICLY loud which just feels right for this thing.

PAINTBALL!

I loved the SL68II wish there were better barrel options. A buddy of mine adapted a DW barrel on his and the thing rocks!

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Not better than anything said here. But its all i got and i love the look and how small and light it is. I know how to aim it so it hits exactly where i want. That and its efficiency and performance on 12g and hpa is awesome.

I have a Sterling that landed just before Covid. I have to get the springs right for HPA , as it shoot s in the 240s.

I love the pump stroke and the trigger.

Bushmasters, like Rebs, had an Anti-Kink Bolt/Hammer to "butterize" the pump-stroke. They took two different paths to arrive at the butter, but they are both great markers. My Tiger Shark kinks so bad, I have to apply bicycle grease to the power tube.
