ok. i've been playing for 5 months and looking 2 upgrade. i currently own a spyder victor 2 but just wanna gun thats entry tourny level. my friend has a ion but i'm not sure i wanna spend $200. so if i buy the ion i might not get any up's 4 it 4 a while. please help.

Ion is the best gun for 190
SOme palces have it for 175.
Just get a new feedneck and youll be good for tourneys
If you don't want to spend 200 then you cant really get a tourney entry level gun

paintballmonkie

well what about the barrel? cuz i'm getting the ion=$200+ hopper=60-100=260-300 so 300 dollars 4 the gun plus feed neck=30 so 330. leaving like no money 4 the barrel. do i realy need a feed neck and if i do should i forget the barrel?

don't forget hpa tank, 100 used or 200 new.

i herd the stock ion barrels arent bad
but just get new feedneck and hopper
either a revvy or egg should be good

dont get an egg. and a revvy would probably be too slow for you since the ion comes with ramping stock. get a halo b/empire b/vlocity.


the ceramic is a nice barrel, but not one of the best. ul's are going for about $50 used on pbn. id just hop on one of those. maybe a lucky.


ions and bushys are the best guns for under $200. pick up one of those. personal preference leads me to the bushy more than the ion. but yours might lead you to the ion, try using both before deciding which you want.

He'll survive with the egg. But I do recomend the Halo/empire/vlocity.

Tippman 98 C with E-grip. $199 at the village. Very dependable. Runs on C02, comes with the new WAS board in it. Board is capable of 30 bps, gun is capable of 17, with upgrades you could get more out of it.

paintballkid320

cant go above 15 bps with co2
if u do co2 seizes up

then explain to me how the new spyders do 20 bps on C02???
It'll do 17 easy on C02.

paintballkid320

ask mortideseum (sp probably)
he hit 17 max then co2 seized up

Speedball bud. Get a Ion or a Promaster. Used Promaster would be best for your price.

i'm not geting the 98c, but i was looking at the 04 bko, is it any good. cuz if it is i can get $40 of more ups on it.

DarkTamer

Spyders are blowbacks. Ions are blowforwards (kind of a wierd variation of the spool valve). Thus... using co2 will affect your rof quite a bit.

If you used anti-siphoned co2, you could probably get away with 15bps in bursts, but sustained, it will freeze up, and probably destroy some o-rings.

I wasn't comparing spyders to Ions at all. All i'm saying is that I've see people run there spyder guns at about 20bps on C02 and didn't have it frezze up.
