Which is the best pen for UPSC Mains?

What's wrong with V5 except these two shortcomings?

1. Delicate nib - breaks often, specially for people with tight grip. 

2. Not waterproof. 


V5 being not waterproof is the biggest drawback of that pen for me. 

What if I spill water on the sheets by mistake? 

What if the invigilators spill water on the sheets by mistake? 

What if the paper checker spills water on the sheets by mistake? 

Can't risk years of preparation just because the pen wasn't waterproof. 

P. S: This is just a personal opinion. I'm usually quite optimistic , but this is TOO RISKY.. 

Had never considered this angle. Looks like I might need to look at some waterproof pens. Any suggestions? 

Got this from YouTube 

I use V7 but thinking to try Hauser gel & Trimax
