Yes, I'm looking at a new gun, again. Prices and politics have drawn me to these two lovely puppies. I've had a look and a rip on both and they're both great. Which one would you choose and why?

Well this may be a closed subject, but I didnt want to make comment until I'd really touched or seen the proto properly. I judged the Pro Tour at Reading and EVERYONE was using EGO or Proto, so looks like your in good company whatever you field, but I did notice one thing....
The Proto struck me with two obvious points.... It's MUCH lighter than I would have given it credit for. Thought the EGO had that in the bag on weight, but maybe not. (Especialy with the composite proto coming out), but more importnantly I noticed this worying effect... We chronoed almost every gun onto the field almost every game (40 in all, so must have chronoed close to 300 guns, say maybe 50% Protos) and there was a HUGE proportion of them with the same problem. The first shot (often first 3 or so shots) were always low. I mean WAY low (125 - 190 fps). I got the the feeling the people were like "Yeah but when they rip, they really rip", but couldnt help feeling that I would be slightly let down if my first shot was not what I was expecting. Sometimes I only get the chance for 1 to 3 shots, and need them all to count 100%. Does anyone else have this problem, or was the 5:30AM start making me delirous? Opinions?

QUOTE(Matt @ May 12 2005, 10:41 PM) Opinions?  Youre gay but apart from that are you sure theyre bringing out a composite proto? not just thinking of the dmc?.. -------------------- We don't torture... we freedom tickle.
