GOG Enmey discontinued?

The enmey was a decent shooter, but the solenoids suck and fail, that plastic pin was a bad idea and you pretty much had to have an aftermarket metal one just to take a point of failure out of the system. I really liked mine but the emek is everything it was plus more.

Not a horrible marker, but I haven't seen anyone even using one in years.

We use .50 cal emeks. They work alot better oveall than the ft12s imho. The spyder opus can suck it, trash markers and nobody can convince me otherwise.

I'm sad that when Eclipse raised the Emek's prices by 50% there wasn't an effort to clean up the eNMEy design a little and offer it as a viable alternative. Maybe improve the stock feedneck and give it autococker threads (which the Tippmann Raider already did).

My thoughts exactly. When I first came back to the sport after a long hiatus, I picked up an enmey for rec play and really enjoyed it. When the EMEK came out its value was unbeatable. I got some sticker shock when I saw what the Emek price had risen to... I know it's the go to recommendations for new players, but I have a hard time telling them to shell out close to $300 for their first gun.

For your average player, that could easily be the last marker they ever buy, though. It's still extremely good value because of that.

Totally agree & I do tell them that. Still doesn't stop them for heading to the cheap Tippmann's, in my experience at least

Agreed. Personally I tell a lot of people to rent for a while, and then look at the used market. You can get a used 160r for $300ish if you're patient. Hell, I've seen AMPs with the mech frame go for $400. That will set up any casual baller for a long time. Same with loaders. Spire IR, Dye LTR, and even the HK Sonic are all really good options at/around $100. The used market for hoppers is really advantageous as well, and if the new Halo shells prove to be solid, that's another cheap and very good option.

As for the eNMy, sucks but not surprising. Hardly advertised and burdened with a somewhat uncommon barrel thread, it was a steep hill to climb. Not only that, but there's peer pressure as well when you're at the field. Many times new players are hesitant to get something "different" because they're then on their own when it comes to needing help.
