This is totally an opinion question. A mechanical marker is nice because there is no need for batterys and it is truly a bit of paintball history. Electronic markers are great because they are faster, allow more modes, and are the future of paintball.
There comes a point in paintball markers, where you can only make so many improvements while meeting the standard of 300fps and a hopper feeding BPS limit. This occurs in the $1000 plus marker range, where the "Best" marker literally becomes a choice in how the marker feels in your hands (ergonomics and valve design). Some markers in this category are The Ego 10, Dm 10, the Luxe, macdev clone and Bob Long Victory. None of these markers have a significant advantage over each other, all are used in high division paintball tournaments, and all are on the leading edge of paintball technology.
Ok, considering the last person didn't give you a good answer, here's mine. The paintball "marker" is the proper term for the gun. It's called a marker because it "marks" what it shoots.
no, a paintball marker should not be illegal in any town to own, however some towns will not allow the discharge of a marker.
