MOTM October 2026 The greatest, most favorite marker you have.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Mine is my Karni pump. Only had one marker in my collection longer. But my Karni just feels so right in my hands. This is actually my second Karni pump build, a replacement after the one was stolen.

CCM frame
CCM Karni pump kit with EZ handle.
ID on/off (replacing a DP RAPS)
I think upgraded the valve at some point?!
WGP Reg.
Shocktech Bolt

It's probably this or my "One of Everything" in black, Phantom accessory kit.

My favorite is definitely my SFT Hybrid Traitor 'hy-gucci' Shocker.
I bought this brand new and it's never left my side.
This this is pretty much all original besides a virtue board, dm5 bb eyes and spring modded bolt.
Rips lasers everyone I use it, gets lots of compliments and it never lets me down.

I built this in 2005, and have done less than 5 overhauls on it since. The Cocker barrel adapter got added about 7-8 years ago. I was using a DYE 8", but putting it back on after a swab was a challenge during a game. I added the level 10 bolt two years ago. It's painted countless faces, and worked great last weekend.

I’d love to see this with the tank you use during play.

waffles2 I currently use an HK 68/4500, but for the first ten years or so, I rocked with a 48 steelie!

This is a very early First Run Merlin, before threaded feednecks were standard. It has had a press fit PE adapter added for a clamping neck.
Classic square body with basic 3 pill milling.

I bought this from a new user on here and it was a total wreck. It had been assembled with Red loctite all over, and not a little.
I was able to save the body, cocking rod, and valve, but had to heat it in an oven and use a breaker bar to remove the front block screw. There was a substantial chance it would be ruined, but I was very patient, and certainly lucky in getting it apart. That's a big part of why it is a favorite for me.

It has been re-built with mostly AKA and PPS parts. Even now the performance of the PPS 3-way is top notch, very fast switching.
It uses a rounded lug and a slotted AKA plate for a super smooth retro shooting feel.
The Benchmark Frame is not original, it just happens to be a decent match.

I have a quite rare 14" Javelin on it to finish it out.

I shoot this in open play very frequently and it performs great. Smooth, consistent, and surprisingly fast.

SonofaBaddad and that sweet hybrid.

Nummech Pyro halfback (somebody told me there are 7 or 8 of this body?) It was my dream to find one of these nummech bodies and frames to make a build with. I selected the Twister barrel as the grooves really matched up with the milling of the Pyro better than the twisters it was meant for, had a tip machined to fit instead of the stock carbon fiber one. I found the hinge frame from a different guy, for some reason hinges are much harder to find than Nummech sliders go figure. Found the fore grip from a different guy, and the ER plate for the fore grip from yet another guy. Found the grips I wanted but had to buy a gun just to get them, then resold the gun with some grips I had made that I didn't like as much as the OEM grips from Nummech. Got the gun anodized from Arc (pearl color scheme). Internals are Laz valve and Jenny Hammer, very lightly sprung. Has a Docfire shim set in the HPR, that I found operated best with one disc removed to get the pressure below 200 since its sprung so light with the Jenny hammer. Splurged on the Eclipse pnumatcs as the cuts on the LPR complemented the body somewhat more than other LPRs, and got the twisted LPC banjo which is a nice volume upgrade and style match.

This thing is very playable, lightweight, light trigger, ergonomics like a space mech, but a cocker. Gets used way too much. Nummech Pyro halfblock

Wonderful submissions gents, but no more.

Let the nominations begin!

[LightArmsJXF]

There's at least 4 that I'm loving (besides my own that is ) How am I supposed to nominate just one?

[scottieb]

It's tough, I know, but you gotta pick one.

[LightArmsJXF]

I guess I'll nominate impactfour's duckslide.

[Impactfour]

Suhweet! I'll try my best to get a better photo of it come time for the poll!

[RAZRBAKK]

I nominate PumpMan10988's DD68

[BigRed]

I’ll nominate Hellion360 because that Merlin is magic…and the restoration story is great too.

[NONOBLITUS]

Wow tough to vote on others favorite marker. I dig all of these but it is a nomination and I’ll go with Chuck E Ducky and that Creeper build. It’s a shooter and it gets used heavily like they should be.

[scottieb]

I nominate JeepDVLZ45 and his Walz.

[Impactfour]

I'm nominating BrendanB Nummech Pyro halfblock. That's got to be amongst the top 5 or 10 prettiest markers I've seen. The anno, milling and general lines of the build pair so well together and I really enjoy the look of nunmech cocker frames and their homeless design.

[SonofaBaddad]

This one has my vote too.
