not nearly as much kick as a spyder. it may look like it, but when your holding and shooting the gun, it doesn't kick at all. with the zick, it shoots so smooth and with almost no kick =)
No. It's just "barrel lift" from the gas being expelled from the marker. When the gas is expelled it HAS to push the marker back (simple physics). Similar to if you broke the reg off a tank, the tank flies. There is no KICK with the zick. By kick i mean with the stock rammer, there is a bumper that it hits when it returns. The zick eliminates that impact on return. This is not to say that you wont feel anything. You'll still feel the impact of the rammer hitting the pin, but it's minimal.
hey man should i get a etek 2 i have all mid end guns right now and they are beat up so i am looking to sell them and keep the mini for back up. i am leaning towards the etek 2. nor so much the protege. what would you choose. i am not willing to get a 08 ego. i just like the etek better it feels more like a manly gun not as light and skimpy as the 08. so etek 2 etek 1 or protege. thank you. reply asap. ps i love the pe manual and packaging it is pure quality. plus the feed neck design.
i haven't shot a protege, but from what i've seen, they are really nice. only thing is that bob long guns don't come with good packaging (no manual or barrel sock...) i'd go with an etek. imo the etek2 isn't worth $175 more than an etek1. just get the etek, and you can use the $175 to buy ups for it =)
ok i will look into the etek 1 1 more question. how is the durability of the etek. i have heard of ego 8 frames bending. but that is rare. is the body made from that aircraft grade aluminum stuff. cause if it is that is good that is the strongest aluminum out there. thank you. you reply to every ones comments that takes some heart man. dammit i knew asians had super powers. lol.
you are correct at that the bob long guns dont come with good packaging but customer support is amazing. The guns work flawless 99% of the time. So there is really no need for all the extra packaging. ( I own an Infamous Timi and my friend owns an etek I've shot them both and both are amazing. I personally like the timi better because my hands are big and the etek is a bit small for them.) btw i love your vids
i must say it is nice to get those but it saves the company money just to put the manual on the website. but for spare parts and a barrel cover those are a must in a box when you get your gun
yo. hey man i have a question. i have owned about 5 guns in my pb history but i have never really had a high end gun. i have a slg a mini and a dp fusion. my fusion is all busted and mangled. asa broke off and the screw got stuck inside. so i am looking into a ego. i really like the etek 2 and it is in my price range. should i get a etek. i do not really want a 08 they are loud as shit. and they are to thin and and light. they feel like they are going t snap etek or protege. pe is quality. so ya
oooo la la haha, dude i want to practice again, next time you should work sometime in where you can stay longer, im thinkin once we get a full solid crew we should practice over at compound cuz they have nppl and psp regulation feilds

its because when he hit the trigger he hit it hard forcing the gun to move. it really doesnt kick that much

Well I trust what Mr. Wong said about it, since he owns it and has a zick in it.

thanks, bob long guns are great but its nice to get a manual, barrel cover, and spare parts with the gun

saucy2727 3 years ago
yeah, but i think its kind of annoying to go online to find the manual =/ i'd rather have a full color one come with the gun
