Ok, so i gave up on the b2k4 w/ pds b/c i cudnt find it anywhere, now the store i was looking at has it back in stock. in the meantime, i am also seriously considering a mag, either a custom RT (basically every upgrade needed for 530), or the paradigm pro (same as above, just with less options for 450). the only reason i am considering the b2k4 w/ pds is b/c of money (only 320). yes, i know i would have to upgrade the b2k, but for now, i would keep it stock. right now i have $1000 with about 300 more coming at the end of summer. i also have another job that i work every week. the only thing is though, i dont want to spend everything on paintballing, maybe half that, but i was thinking a mag would be worth it though. what's your opinion, and give the reason why you would choose one over the other. thanks.

mags=heavy, but good
Get a proto matrix or a shocker

***smallerthanlife*** · June 23rd, 11:39 PM

actually, alpha's mag weighs less than an ion. i dont know if i want to spend that much money (keep in mind that i still need air and a hopper). but yes, i was considering a shocker, but probably not. thanks for the suggestion.

yeah, ULE mags are much lighter than the old classic mags. Ive heard awsome things about the paradigm, and just recently i paid a visit to their site and i have to say their pretty sweet looking. I'd look into a mag, they're pretty nice guns

***smallerthanlife*** · June 23rd, 11:57 PM

Ya, thats what i was thinking, the only thing is though, i want a chimera vert frame instead of the intelliframe that comes with the paradigm pro. the other option i could choose to get the chimera is to buy the RT Pro with all the ups, including the chimera, x-valve, level 10 (no chops), exile body, sleeper or splinter rail, ULE trigger mod, stick grip, all for 530. all that makes for a very light and fast setup. again, the only reason im thinking about the b2k is the lower pricetag.

i forgot to mention that any other suggestions for markers i havent listed are welcome (with reasons why), thanks.

a borg is good too

***smallerthanlife*** · June 24th, 12:11 AM

cyborgs look really cool, and with the price drop, that may be a possibility. could anyone pm me a site to buy off of, cant find one. oh, and do they have eyes? thanks
what about a bob long defiant? dont really like timmies, but, just checking all my options

**toXic** · June 24th, 12:16 AM

if i was you i would get the Rt for 530. Then if you want to upgrade it, you could make it a devilmag.

**Sh00t em Up** · June 24th, 01:36 AM

yup, mag are very customizable and can be personalized easily.

***smallerthanlife*** · June 24th, 01:45 AM

ya, basically all the things listed above. i also like that after the basic parts, u dont need to upgrade a whole lot.

***smallerthanlife*** · June 25th, 11:41 PM

anyone else? cuz i might just end up buying a b2k real soon b/c i dont know when the custom mag package im waiting for will come out, and im not sure i wanna shell out 800 for a gun (includes air and hopper, shipping and tax cuz im in CA). i really want a mag but a b2k would only cost me 500 stock including air and hopper. really stuck here, thanks.

***harrison*** · June 28th, 05:11 PM

I'm big on mags believe me it is worth the wait. the chrimera is awesome. but the intele frame ain't to shabby either. why not by the paradigm and then save up and buy the chimerea

***smallerthanlife*** · June 28th, 10:10 PM

thats what i was thinking, but wasnt really sure if it was worth it, maybe i can eventually sell the intelli? because i need a gun soon cuz theres only so much summer left for me, and i want to play as much as possible, and it would be nice to have a new gun. thanks for the help, i still have to see if i can buy some other stuff off my friend to save money.

Ahhhahahaah lol bbq.

Mags are not heavy.

I suggest the Paradigm pro over anything. Not jus becuase I'm a mag fanboy, but because I'm an RPG fanboy, AND because its the best of the three markers (Although I do like the B2k4)

How's that for heavy?

What would you do if I said I've never chopped a ball due to my gun (always either barrel breaks, or chuffs becuase I ran out of air, and with the stiffi, that means only one thing..)

Mgs are proven to have the fastest cycling valve on the plannet. 26 balls per second without shootdown. www.ZakVetter.com >Paintball > Ao Corner. Zak vetter shot his mag at 34bps.

I have clocked mine at 17.

Alpha's mag> all....but yesh the 530 seems to be your best bet

Alpha · June 29th, 06:42 AM

Nuu dont get the RT for 530. That's a ripoff!

The RPG Paradigm IS an RT Pro. I dont think people realise that... It just has a lot of cool aftermarket RPG upgrades on it already.

The Paradigm pro is cheaper, and already has upgrades..

Get an RPG Paradigm pro with all teh goodies you want (you can get custom markers now on Rogue's Website www.TheMagSMith.com).

MY Mag only > all when its not PMSing.

***harrison*** · June 29th, 04:19 PM

Plus it comes with new dye sticky 3 and a nice rail. plus the ult is stock. the only thing i would want to change is the trigger. i personally like the splinter but thats just me. get it you wont be disapointed there awesome. fast as hell for a mech too

Is that a stiffi alpha? sweet light in the grip. by the way which grips are on your chimera

***harrison*** · June 29th, 10:25 PM

A paradigm runs for 470 about w/ da shiping it would be way better than used. fast too. but save about 50-40 and you can get an rougue custom mag and pick how you want it. that is once the fix up that site. I wish rogue would hurry up i may just get the paradigm though if he doesn't

Alpha · June 29th, 11:02 PM

If you want a custom marker, just talk to Rogue, he should be able to work something out. If not, thats cool. He's a really good guy, tell him Alpha sent you.

his AIM is RogueFactor

***harrison*** · June 30th, 09:34 AM

Should i e-mail him or something, cause i really would rather have mine custom built than just buying a paradigm cause my friends have em and they just have dif colors and i would rather be original
