The Closer differs from the other Marqs in that it uses the 4 eye system, which claims to maximize cycle speed, because the marker can start the firing cycle as soon as the first set of eyes detects the paintball entering the breech. Also stock on the Closer is a Tadao Technologies M8 board. The Musashi 8 is extremely adjustable, allowing the user to tweak the marker’s settings to precisely what he wants. Also included is a multi-bore barrel kit. The Closer comes equipped with a “Dragon” style trigger, which minimizes bounce. The Closer is more aggressively milled than its mates, making it the lightest of the bunch. The Marq Series markers use an inline poppet design to handle air in the marker and fire a paintball. Rather than have two tubes, one housing the bolt and the other housing the ram/hammer/valve assemblies, in the Closer and the other Marq Series markers, all of these parts are housed in one tube in line with each other. During the firing cycle, the hammer slams forward, hitting a poppet valve to release the stored air to fire the paintball. The hammer is attached to the bolt, which directs the air to the paintball to be fired. During testing we found that this arrangement provides the accuracy and soft firing impulse of a spool valved marker, with the inherent efficiency of a poppet valve system. The Closer is Bob Long Direct’s top-of-the-line offering, and the $1250 price tag reflects it. However, taking into account that the marker comes stock with a barrel kit and an aftermarket board goes a long way in justifying the marker’s price.

Forget Bob Long; check out the Tippmann X7 XP5 on http://www.choicepaintballguns.com… http://www.choicepaintballguns.com/product/TIPX7XP5 . Now that’s a paintball marker; it looks great but what’s even better is it’s built on a Tippmann X7 so you know it’s going to be able to take a beating and last through every battle.

Our paintball team has saved a lot of money since contacting http://www.choicepaintballguns.com. We contacted them and asked if they would sponsor us; they basically said ‘not now’ but still give us huge volume discounts when we buy more than one thing. When we’ve got an order, we contact Dan and he hooks us up!

I would much rather shoot a tactical paintball pistol (like an Ariakon ACP 2.0 http://www.choicepaintballguns.com/product/ARK-ACP2.0 ) than a competition type gun like a Bob Long or Planet Eclipse. I know these are really popular but they don’t even look like real guns; they look like some kind of freaky laser gun or something; I guess speedball isn’t for everyone.

Is there a difference between the Warsensor Zeus paintball pistols http://www.choicepaintballguns.com/product/WARZG2 and Ariakon’s ACP 2.0 or Overlord? They look pretty similar and I was wondering if anyone has been able to try both to compare. Are they about the same weight; do they shoot the same?

I guess I don’t see what the big deal is for these big name signature series paintball guns. I mean I know Bob Long markers have a good reputation of being excellent and all, but really… are they that much different from the rest of the high dollar competition paintball guns; I just don’t see why they should cost so much. http://www.choicepaintballguns.com/page/boblong

The Bob LOng Closer is a nice paintball gun; a little pricey for my tastes though. http://www.choicepaintballguns.com/page/boblong . I think you might find equal performance in a less priced marker but maybe I’m wrong. I’ve always been more of a fan for a Smart Parts Epiphany; too bad they stopped making these guns.
