[Suggestion Box] What would you like to see in 2025?

[Riot]

No guarantees I’ll pick up what you’re putting down, however…
Throw some suggestions in for the 2025 MCB Marker of the Month contest categories. I don’t want to do companies/brands two years in a row.. give everyone time to get new stuff for 2026, maybe.

Post ‘em up!

Hmmm

Maybe a custom year? Like "conversions" electro to mech, small shop customs (punisher / waltz), large shop customs (palmer / BBT), pumps, semis ect....

[The Hobbit]

Custom annos/milling.

I'd like to see a category for most original and complete. This could include a non modified marker in its factory form and accessories such as original box, manual, receipt of purchase, etc.

Riffle
Bolt action
Best used of 3d printed parts
Crossbreed marker (need to have main parts from different company that are not meant to be used together)

[XEMON]

I like those:

Maybe a custom year? Like "conversions" electro to mech, small shop customs (punisher / waltz), large shop customs (palmer / BBT), pumps, semis ect....

Electro to mech and mech to electro?
Or that would open to too many cocker with a slapped e-framme?

And those:

Crossbreed marker (need to have main parts from different company that are not meant to be used together)

I love crossbreed 😁

Maybe a "I built this in my garage"? It's a bit vague but open to people with different setups and skills

Thanks Riot for running this 👍

Oh any any version is fine I was just throwing out examples. But when I was thinking electro to mech I was more thinking like turning intimidator into a mech marker or something like that

[Ecapnation]

Would even be neat to see a month dedicated to theme builds.... Like this is my fallout rifle, this is my decepticon phantom etc

[Cdn_Cuda]

Best history of marker, so like a history of why a marker is significant. Give a chance for special markers that aren’t flashy/ expensive.

[Ecapnation]

Oof so many to chose in my lot

[Jonnydread]

How about a month for how many of the same marker? Inspired by the recent DP E1 color wheel

[Pyrate Jim]

Long barrels. 12" or better.

I think it would be pretty sweet to break it up by release year.

Example: Favorite marker from 1996.

It could have parts on it from before/after 96, after all parts just mean it was good enough for someone to update later, but it would have had to have been available on the shelves in stock form in 1996.

So that could mean a 96 Cocker, a Tippmann 68 Carbine, an Automag R/T, etc. so long as it was released in 1996, it would be fair game.

This would be pretty cool because each month could be a kind of snap shot of what was actually on the field, competing against each other at that time. People could vote on what they thought the best gun was that year, the most popular gun from that year, the most influential gun of that year, the gun they just plain old like the most from that year, etc.

It would also give a lot of these machines more perspective and help document timelines better.
