Well guys here's another importent frequently askeed question I found from another forum and Decided to let you guys here know about it as u can see it says labelskate did it he also did the other one

THIS ARTICLE IS FOR THE NEWEST VERSIONS OF BOTH MODELS (2K3)

Ok I got really bored in Science class today and decided to write this article in my notebook then type it up at PbF since so many people ask the same questions.

The main difference between the two markers is that the BKO has a 2 way solenoid and the B2K has a 4 way solenoid. 2 way noid means that a spring returns the ram instead of the noid doing all the motion like on the 4 way noid. This means that the 2 way noid can't cycle as fast as teh 4 way noid. The BKO's 2 way can not cycle any faster then 17bps. The b2k can cycle much faster then that. (Although when will you use 17+bps in a game is beyond me)

The BKO board is capped at somewhere from 18-20 bps. Not many people are sure of the excat amount since it can't cycle that fast. Alex (paintballer200) said he called up ICD and asked this question and they said 20bps is the newest cap.

The B2K board is capped at 33.3bps. That is a Huge step up from the older b2k's cap of 13.15bps. (that is teh fastest dip switch combo known, all offs)

Other smaller difference's is the BKO's low pressure reg is located behind the inline reg(2k4 BKO Models now have it under the barrel, so you CANNOT get a volumizer for 2k4 models). It is a lot easier to adjust then the B2K reg since it actually uses a allen wrench to adjust it, unlike a flat head screw driver used to adjust the B2K's.

The low pressure reg on the B2K is located under the barrel, and is a pain in the *** to adjust, why ICD hasnt changed it to a allen wrench adjustment found on the BKO(On Pre-2k4's) is beyond me.

The B2K's milling is way nicer and looks really good, all the BKO has for milling is a little piece of the back cut off at an angle.

You can add PDS (paintball detection system) to the B2K STOCK for only about $70, or send it to ICD after for $125 more. If you want PDS for your BKO you have to send it into ICD and it will be about $165. PDS is a huge step up from all the other ace's of the past for bushmasters.

Thank you for reading this, I hope this answered some of your questions.

cool info,since this is all about ICD markers it should be a sticky...

**spedhunter88** · July 10th, 02:06 PM

u really kno ur ICD products bro

**CrazyWeasel** · July 10th, 02:22 PM

It was made by Label, I only added a few things, I know B2k's but not BKO's very well.

**Scottyy360** · July 11th, 06:24 PM

Hey thanks for the info bro it really helped and i suggest this be stickyed.

Thanks for your help.

**DuoDSG** · July 11th, 06:32 PM

Sticky

Crazyweasel is a sticky-whore today. Jeez. Time for some payback... ah screw it.

i was wondering how i would be able to get the PDS installed. would i have to send my gun into ICD? if so how would i do that?

**CrazyWeasel** · July 16th, 09:41 AM

Well the simplest way without going to in-depth is to email greg at ICD about it, and what you need to do. greg_icd@yahoo.com is his E-mail address, so go ahead and askhim about it. As far as i know, it's $125, and turn-around time is like 4 weeks or somethin. Also, if he doesn't mention it, be sure to write "PDS Installation" on the box, or else it will go to the wrong place.

5chfiftY5ivE · July 16th, 08:28 PM

thx, and i was wondering if i needed it, i have a halo b, but im thinking about getting a new board, like the choas or techpro blastermax, so, would it be worth it?

**DYNASTYfan07** · July 25th, 04:48 PM

now is there any real difference between the b2k3s and the b2k4s?

B2k4's have a glossy anno finish, come in fades, and the new HPR is much better.

**L1nUx_r0ot** · August 2nd, 04:50 PM

could someone get a visual of the internals of a bko for me? I know the whole 2-way BKO and 4-way B2k difference, but i dunno where the spring return on bko is at because I have B2k.

TasteTheRainbow · September 21st, 06:58 PM

Woot. price difference is like 200$.

**ChaosTheory** · September 21st, 07:05 PM

thats if you get your b2k with pds, mine doesnt have it yet, and i havent chopped so far, eventually if i have problems chopping i may get it but so far its unndeeded

labelskate102 · September 22nd, 01:03 AM

Well, if you are buying the b2k new, I highly recommend just saving a little more and getting PDS stock. It will be much less of a hassle.

**ComFortlyNumB** · September 26th, 08:50 PM

yea it really is

**skateandpaint** · November 2nd, 08:52 AM

thanks now i am thinging of getin a bko because i do not need to shoot faster than 18 bps

**Cocker16** · November 9th, 08:06 PM

does the BK0 need HPA or can it run off anti-siphoned c02

Anything with a noid needs HPA. Just buy the HPA tank.
