Saw the thread on AO and its twin here... cool and all.. but how about the guns that we hated and couldnt wait to unload on some unsuspecting fool?

Here was my #1 most distained marker of all time.
http://www.bigevilonline.com/modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/normal_IMG_2962.jpg

Looked awesome - shot like crap. TONS AND TONS of FSDO. Didnt want to go through the effort and expense of making it right. I had both the Hybrid and Fart Parts regs, both blew chunks. The wiring reminded me of something that came from the Playskool section of ToysRus.

I traded it for this one;

After about a week with it, I wanted the Hybrid ******* back. I had never been so disapointed with a gun. While it was defienately a quality made piece and shot fairly well, it was awkward and unwieldy. I coudnt get comfy using it with ANY combo of barrel, tank, rail or drop. I think I hated the old style wire detent the most. People were litterally begging me for it, so I was more than happy to move it.

sold "the finger print nightmare" and thought i wanted to go electro so a buddy(rb211) sold me this. it was nice loaded with everything possible plus a custom trigger that would shoot when puleed and shoot when pushed forward.. it was nice but i just really missed mags... so i sold to get back into mags, not like you guys who can have 10 or even 30 A-Tach..lol....

No pics, but it was an E-bladed black magic.

I had a first gen matrix, not the beehive reg but the centerflag, what a hunk of ****. I could not get the dam thing to stop leaking. Its got more orings than a hardware store and the thread tolerance was so sloppy.

I've owned two vikings and as much as I wanted to love them I couldn't wait to get rid of them. I've also owned multiple cockers that just weren't right. At first I thought it was me but I took them to a few cocker experts and they were tunned correctly. owning a stock cocker and upgrading it is kinda like building an addition to your house with plywood and particle board. No matter how hard you try it is still not right.

I've got an ICD Promaster that I bought as a project gun thinking it would be a simple fix. I have had it for months now and cannot wait to sell the stupid thing.

Angel G7 it was a beautiful gun Dust balck with the 45 frame.

It never shot right. is was good for about 10-12 bps max when ever I was above that it was a blender then the eyes would become useless. I tried everything. It was just never right.

I saw the value of the G7s falling fast I paid $1200 for it, got it for dealer cost through a friend. but when I got rid of it you could buy used G7s for about $700

I traded it for an awsome Euro X mag with a green to balck to green fade in dust. The X mag came with the orginal box too so I would value it at about $1200 to $1500 based on the current X mag market so I am very pleased with the decision to trade........:cool:

BE,
Is that a Tarantula milled Vike? It looks familiar to me.

If so I think I know thew guy who owns it. So you didn't like it?

The reason I ask is becasue the guy maybe be trading me for a custom mag soon. We are talking about it.

Well as this thread is frighteningly similar to the one I posted...I will say again. I hated my ******* it was pure crap, disappointing all the way around.
There is nothing else that comes to mind that I just had to be rid of. I have been ****ed at a few markers though....

Talk about a hunk of ****. I bought this from a kiddie on PBN (I know, I know) as I was looking for a fast backup gun if I wanted to really sling some paint. It is 'all tricked out' with a virtue or a blackheart board or some crap.

Well no matter what I do I can't get then ****ing thing to shoot less then 425 fps. I have tried dwell, adjusting the reg, lowering input pressure... nothing works. I have no patience for rebuilding the reg or anything, so I will more then likely part this out, or sacrifice it to Velcor (MCB reference) as a peace offering.

I really REALLY hate the crap that Fart Parts puts out... and it is my own damn fault that I bought this marker sight un-seen.

I dunno what your plans are, but I could use a good headache to deal with.....wouldn't mind giving it a look over, might even take it off your hands if its cheap.

We will talk when I get back to the states. It may be something as simple as a rebuild for the CP reg, not sure. Haven't had the time to look at it. But I may just divest myself of it and call it a lesson learned.

My A5. Chopped like a nightmare and I'd have done better if I could have thrown my paintballs. If I was farther than 20 feet from someone I could forget about hitting them. It did teech me how to move on the field, though, since I had absolutely no distance. Buying my E-Mag was the best thing I ever did as far as markers are concerned.

****ing 'big purp'

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c348/neppo1345/DSCF0016-1.jpg

Bought it cheap non functioning. Dropped some money and a ton of time into her and traded her away.

Came back a week later (instead of the gun I traded it for) with a bent ram housing, scratches, paint/dirt in the gun...

I refused to put any more money into her, and got terribly sick of seeing it around.

I had one of those old, at the time new STO cockers that was blue purple blue faded. I never could get the damn thing timed. I took it to a cocker freind and he timed it and had it crack a lacking. I took it to the field gased it up...it had ****ed up again. I had this gun for a total of four weeks, and it never seen the field, i often forget i had a cocker, becuase in a asense i never really did. I ended up trading it and some dough a for a first gen angel with a single trigger.

My 2005 Angel Speed. It was dust black with the 90* grip-frame. It was as fast as any marker out there. What I hated about the gun was the 90* grip-frame. It was so uncomfortable to hold. And heaven forbid that anything went wrong with it. Because if it did I would have to send it in for service. Not to mention the thing was a brick. So I sold it and got an 06 Cyborg and haven't looked back since.
