This marker is a high-end MECHANICAL marker! the reviews are amazing and this marker has gotten top remarks from every reviewer. the great thing about this marker (for me) is that it is a mechanical marker that shoots like an electronic. mechanical markers have always had a longer life-time than most electronic markers plus i will never have to worry about batteries dying on me in a game. So, im pretty sure, post-deployment, this will be my weapon of choice
