like the title says, i'm a marker whore. currently i shoot 05 speed and z-force halfblock e2 autococker as a back-up. i want to add to my collection.

first off, whats the technical difference between the 05 timmy ripper and the 05 timmy alias.

secondly, what should i get...(i was thinking of these 3 choices)...eclipse ego, ripper, or the alias. i feel like the guy in the middle ----> :stooges: ...

thank you in advance for your input.

I think the only difference between the timmys is milling and $300. I shot an alias and didn't care for it but the kid had just bought it so it probable wasn't set up right. I would like to shoot an ego, they sound pretty cool.

Milling, Price and maybe a few small details like trigger style.

secondly, what should i get...(i was thinking of these 3 choices)...eclipse ego, ripper, or the alias.

If I had the green to buy one of those, I'd save it for another month or so until the Angel G7 gets released. Buy it the day it comes out and it may even come with a certificate certifying you a gun whore.

YOu call yourself a gun whore with 2 and a 3rd on the way? I didn't call myself a gun whore when I had 6: Angel, FF Race Cocker, Impulse, Mag, and 2 more standard cockers.

True... A real gun whore has more of an arsenal than a collection.

it's not even about what you currently own...it's about what you have owned and how long you actually own it...that's what makes a true whore;)

In that case I probably have most people beat. Let's see 86 bought my first marker and bought 2 - 3 per year since.

see...now that's a gun whore...most gun whores never really "buy" a new gun so much as they simply keep trading whatever they've got for something else....and somehow they've got a "new" gun every couple of months.

At one point in time I had something like 12-15 different guns...that was including pumps, and semi's. I had Angels, Cockers, R/T Mags, Tippmans, and various pumps and pistols. There was a running joke on my Scenario team at the time that we could outfit a small militia in a 3rd world country if we chose too...of course one of our other jokes was that I could've fit Elian Gonzalez in my gear bag and taken him back to Cuba and solved a lot of problems without anyone the wiser as well:rofl:

Yeah for awhile I had a new gun every few weeks....lol I would get something use it for a week and then trade/sell it and get a new gun, etc... I started to downgrade this past summer. Went from 6 angels to 2....2 pump guns to 0 and no more tippmann and no more cocker....and very shortly I will be back to just 1 lonley angel.... College is killing me...hehe
