Seems like the Talon is more hardcore than the Marauder or Disco, which is more of a get your feet wet gun.  May start looking into the differences in the Disco and Marauder, and try to find some used with a pump to start with.

The Talons and Condors can have different length barrels, calibers and lots of power adjustment (Internally)....you will need to tinker with it.  But they're single shot only.

You cannot swap barrels or change calibers with the Marauder and Disco. Marauder is multi-shot and the Disco you can buy an aftermarket clip and abit of hardware to  turn it into a multi-shot.....but you need to rotate the clip manually....and in both cases you still need to pull the bolt back to chamber in a round.  I don't know about the Disco but the Marauder is power adjustable.....you don't need to open her up, but you would need a screwdriver to turn a screw inside the receiver at the back of the bolt....if I'm correct.

Out of the three listed....I would go for the Marauder.  Second would be the Disco with the manual indexing clip.....but must have something to quiet it down!!!!!

The brake was referring to the TKO piece.  I actually think that the disco sounds quieter than the marauder with the TKO brake on.  It seems to me from the videos that the marauder hammer is really loud.

Anyone know about power adjustments on an HPA 850?
