The Official - Money No Object - Dream Three Marker Garage

[Bonjwa]

This is it.

If you're a car person you you've already done this a hundred times. You can choose ANY 3 markers on earth, whatever gets your blood moving... BUT you can never own or play with another marker.

Are you going practical? That full blown late 90's fantasy? THREE IONS???

I suppose I should start.

1. Eclipse Nexus DC2. I'll take this blue/light blue fade.

Realistically, I will never own one these. The prices are insane and they don't come up for sale very often. I've ogled at these for absolutely ever. The ultimate electro cocker and in my opinion the best marker eclipse ever made.


2. Carter Buzzard VSC, Tri fade, fade, I dont know. L stock. 10 round feed. This lemon lime fade is close to something I would choose.

I seriously have spent HOURS building markers on the old Carter Machine website. VSC is bar none my favorite way to play paintball and it's hard to argue this isn't the greatest factory VSC marker ever produced. I would use the hell out of one of these and I WILL own one in my lifetime. I love that these came with fixed stocks as I despise the CCI adjustable T stock. (random example from online)


3. G-Max Shocker SFT. I'll take this lovely stock, blue example.

Okay, some of you might not be with me on this one. I know Smart Parts is a bit of a sore spot but I have a BURNING love for private label SFT and NXT shockers. When I was playing all the time and completely obsessed with the sport all the pro teams had their own and I wasn't sure if I liked them or not. I wish I had bough them all when they were reasonable. Somebody sell me a Dynasty waffle SFT please lol. This might not be to the taste of the brass loving MCB community but damn it, it's my choice.


Can you top this? Does it get any better? I think not but I'd love to see what you all dream of owning.

Please include pictures!!!!

1) An original Desert Duck. 2) The skeletonized cocker. 3) The super frankenstein mag that could shoot like 100 bps.

[Bonjwa]

Kinda vague, pictures? Links?

[BrickHaus]

This is a game I cant play, because in paintball variety is the flavor of life.

[BrickHaus]

You see my post about my trashed room full of guns? Lmfao

[Bonjwa]

Okay let me clarify, this is more of a "hypothetical" kind of thing. You don't actually have to do this.

[Menso]

Oh my god that was you lmao I wasn’t even thinking about that post when I made this comment but YES. You see what happens?

[BlindFaith429]

1. High end AC build, either a Twister or an SFL
2. Phantom (can build it as so many variations)
3a. Limited run Ego (SL8R, SL series, etc)
OR
3b. Limited run Shocker SFT (Ton Ton, Octane, Russian Legion)

Edit: Gargoyle would probably be in place of the phantom, now that I think about it. Though they are pretty similar.

[Bonjwa]

Gargoyles are awesome, maybe a phantasm?

[gabe]

The problem for me is I can't bring myself to dive on and beat up any of these dream markers so regular guns are what I go to for actual use. Here's my pedestrian list (which I mostly already have)

1. Planet Eclipse LVR
2. Orange to black fade Orracle (have)
3. Palmerized P68sc (have)

Pretty pedestrian tastes but those are the guns I always drooled over.

[Bonjwa]

I think you can dream bigger but I like all these choices.

[gabe]

Again, I would only own guns that I could play with and not feel bad. I can definitely dream bigger though you're right. Twister LV1.6 maybe? Round body Merlin? Yes please!

[BigRed]

Well, money is no object so... #1 I'd push Craig Palmers limit to make a Nasty Blazer. There has to be a dollar amount that he'd say yes to. #2 JMJ FL Viking, #3 AKA round body Merlin, this one will have both pnues and a pump kit. All of them would have custom ano as well.

[Bonjwa]

I like these answers a lot. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to take a nasty. I was considering it myself.

Splat Attack Revenge 2.0 in Jurassic Goo



Evolution X Cocker in Green

(Thanks to Cave Hero for the pic!)



Entity Matrix - any color



They would all be wall hangers - I'd never be able to convince myself to use them.

As for fieldable markers... pretty much what I own now, plus a Vtwin Cocker. 🙂

[Bonjwa]

Great taste!

Agreed on both counts.

However, here's my list. I own all of them.
1: Tippmann Pro Carbine
2: my pre-2k Sniper
3: WGP Trilogy
Honorable mentions: my 2k2 ICD BKO (milled by Rainman229) & my Emek

I honestly don't need anything else.

[Bonjwa]

I think people are misunderstanding. This has nothing to do with need lol.

[glaman5266]

Bonjwa I know. You’re talking about a fantasy list. That doesn’t really apply to me.
But if I had to have a hotrod I have only one pick- a 2k5 Dragon Intimidator. That was the one I drooled over the most back then.

[Menso]

1. “The Duke” byDocsMachine. The lever action rifle he was (is?) working on. I still remember it. I still want it. I need it.

2. My Phantom Revolution with a DETENT and a custom pump handle by oDm. The Revolution was so close to usurping the throne from The Phantom. I love it, but in its current form it’s just not useable.

3. I listed my BL MVP here originally buuuuuuut. I don’t know, MAYBE I’d swap it for the right X-Mag. I remember wanting one so desperately when I was younger, but by the time I had the money, it was too late. And now? It’s even more too late.

[Bonjwa]

Love these.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Nothing too fancy, but my my holy trinity:

Karnivor (pump)
2k5 Black Magic (pump)
System X Dragon. (Mech)

I own them all and I’ve even played games with all three, but the Dragon was a pump. Looking forward to using it as a mech this year.

[Bonjwa]

I have a feeling you like autocockers... the 2k5 black magic is special to me as well, not sure why exactly.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Yup, definitely my favourite. I've had a pump Karni for a long time and has been my number 1 shooter. A BM popped up locally and I grabbed it as well, and then this year I finally got ahold of the Dragon. Even had two for a very short time. So I'd say it only took about 15 years to get all 3!

[Lt. head-shot]

These.

I do not need a third.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I 2nd this…. I would add the Aurora VSC Phantom that was sold by Paintball Gateway years ago as my 3rd choice.

[Bonjwa]

I almost listed the aurora cocker for myself. Love these choices. Great pictures!

[coyote]

I own/ have owned a lot of stuff already listed. I am basing this entirely on guns that I don't own, but have shot or played with.

Palmer Lance. My team mate works at PPS and his custom lance is the best combo or ergonomics, heft, pump stroke and trigger I have played with.

Evo X, cotton candy anno. Love the trigger on these cockers and my "one that got away" stories tend to have Evolution Autocockers in the starring roles.

Eclipse bushmaster in Banzai splash. I love old bushies, and shoot them well. This eclipse version is loaded with style points.

[Bonjwa]

These are all very nice, great taste. I would be happy with this list myself.

[JeeperCreeper]

Nasty Nerve. My buddy had one forever ago. I'll take mine in blue please.

PPS Nasty Houndstooth. Cool factor is off the charts

And that one off Ion with mag rail made by Jordan. Realistically I'll end up making one of these eventually, so this is the closest to being more than just a dream right now.

[Jordan]

Heck, I'll make you one if you like it THAT much. 🙂

[Altec]

My Top Gun Sniper
My IM DM6
My X-Valve ULE Mag

they all have sentimental value in some way. Regardless of what’s better out there.

If markers I own aren’t a option it would be something like this.

AKA Evil EHM (UL Frame, Milled by Angry Antle, FX Anodizing)
Bob Long VF Autococker (Cut to 11/16, FF Ram, Rock LPR, ID 3-way)
Sniper 1 (All stock except for a Palmer Blazer frame, and updated internals)

[Bonjwa]

Both lists are nice! If sentimentality is a thing I would have issues with my list as well...

[Tarsun2]

black widow spyder
angel SB
AKA Viking? Excalibur? Ehm? (there was a custom milled AKA marker that i cant seem to find. i think it was actually one of Haywoods) iirc it was a featherlite or something. it might have been the blue to black and yellow fade...
Alien had an amazing marker that i was lusting over. kind of like the g6r. killer anno too.

[imped4now]

Angel SB, you say....check the classifieds.

[Tarsun2]

with 2 kids, a house, and a single income; priorities have changed. (but the dreams have not lol)
that has always been my list for as long as i can remember, even before i saw Haywoods collection, i knew of the AKA line. 
And being into spyders, the AKA Black widow was an unreachable dream. 
i could get the BW Spyder body OR replace both rear shocks, both shock mounts, sway bar links, and full syn oil/filter change on the mazda 3. like i said, priorities lol 
lucky for me i know enough about cars do do the work myself and that keeps the cost down. 
before that, its was a new wheel bearing, new hub, new front rotors, new front pads, mount and balance winter tires, and new TPM sensors. 

at this point, i dont even look at the used marker market. Sooo many other things got in the way. i dont think ive even play in the last 3 years

the AKA black widow is the prize that spyder collectors drool over. The holy grail. The one spyder that is bought and sold person to person; never listed on ebay or FB marketplace. never in the for sale section. the one spyder that when the owner is ready to sell, they call that one person who has dibs on it and funds for it. and then its sold. there were only 16(?) ever made. they were made by AKA and killer looking. matte black (classic grey body). ive built a replica but its not the same.

[Menso]

Well, that explains why I’ve never seen one of these, let alone for sale. I appreciate you taking the time to inform me on the topic.
