: i'm buying a new marker and i'm considering a centerfeed type body. Do these bodies actually feed faster and more reliably? Also, i see plenty of pro's using these, but how do you aim accurately with the feed tube in your face?

It depends on the type of gun you're getting. If it's a closed bolt or very low pressure open bolt gun, it will feed faster, along with the obvious benefit of having the hopper's weight evenly distributed throughout the body of the gun. With high pressure open-bolt guns, you're gonna want a powerfeed, since, that's the way paint gets in the fastest. And, take it from a player using a powerfed gun, you can't see over the barrel with one either, Vert or powerfeed doesnt really bother you once you get used to it, you just get really good at instinctive (Point) shooting.
