Hello,

I have to decide on which gun to buy, I currently own a tippmann, but I want to enter tournments and want to get a fast electro for 600 dollars canadian not more. I have looked at a few, and found Impulse (500$), ION (400$) and finally the Autococker 2k4 (500$) Which one out of these three do you most recommend? Or another maybe thats not listed here?

Thanks in advanced.

definitly get the ion, then you can spend the other 200 bucks on tank, electo hopper, regs, and ups in general

hey and whats the ratio of an american to a canadian dollar?

**stickman436** · April 26th, 03:54 PM

Considering that you have aproximitly 481.956 U.S. dollars, I would buy the ION which will deliver mid range performance for 284.95 if you look around in the right places. You will then have 197 dollars left. I suggest you take this money and buy a 68/45 nitro tank(crossfire) which can be found for 184.95. Then save the rest of your money for a HALO B electronic hopper. I don't know if you already have an electro hopper but you will need one and I beleive that is the cheapest setup you can have.

Hello guys,

The ion is definatly cheaper and fast as the impulse, but if you think about long term I dont want to exchange the ion for another gun, this next gun will be a gun I keep for some time throughout various tournments. I was thinking it through and found out, you cant really upgrade much in an ion, but impulse upgrades crazy, and cheaply too. Other than the eyes for it.

So to reassure you guys out there, you still think I should get an ion over the impulse?

**stickman436** · April 27th, 04:27 PM

Yes, you should there may be more upgrades for the impulse now but in the near future there will be so many upgrades you won't even be able to count them all.
The ION just came out and that is why. With a new bolt, solenoid, and board on an ION, which are expected upgrades, speeds of up to 25 bps are expected.

get a b2k pds it can exceed 25bps STOCK and it has all the bugs worked out unlike the ion

**newpaintball** · April 27th, 07:23 PM

Im confused so I still should go with an ION rather than an Impulse? or should I go with the Impulse rather than the ION?

**gamefaceowner3** · April 27th, 08:17 PM

i would say the ion it has eyes and is worth the cash.

***a5shooter*** · April 28th, 09:31 AM

ion>impulse

**DeViLs_SouL** · April 28th, 04:20 PM

^^^
i would also consider a B2K4 W/ eyes

**stickman436** · April 28th, 04:32 PM

B2K4's are nice but IMO(in my opinion) I don't like the feel of them and like the IONs much more.

**newpaintball** · May 9th, 06:44 PM

Ok, I want you to help me decide, should I get a BKO / w EYES or IMPULSE / w EYES ? If so, where can I get it cheap?

**newpaintball** · May 16th, 04:26 PM

Anyone?

**PaintBallBob** · May 16th, 06:11 PM

we cant tell you were to get one, because we can only post links to xpaintball.com which has good prices. hit me up on AIM and i can suggest some other sites.

I would deffinitly prefer an ion or BKO w/ eyes to an impulse with eyes. Impulses are heavy, slow, outdated, tall, are much more expensive and have worse Anti-shop systems.

In terms of the ion vs the BKO that is personal prefernce. The BKO w/ eyes is significantly more money but has better quality(less plastic). So, if you allready have a HPA tank and fast hopper or arent bringing these into the equation then i would get the BKO. If you need to save money for these accessories then go with the ion.
