if u play in the woods get the a5 or the 98c....if you play some rec ball and speedball along with woods then get the Spyder Imagine.

Spyder Imagine would be your best bet if you play at speedball field.

you should get banned for just saying that..

here i go again

THE ION is not for beginners, it is never a good choice as a first marker. It will break on you, you wont know how to fix it, you will come to us with a really non-detailed explanation, and we cant help you.

shock_force: i hope you are joking, becuase you are a ****ing idiot, how can you say that the ion is not for speedball?[/vent]

hmmm, that seems to go against everything everyone on here has said in defense of the ion that it doesnt break...

shock_force: i hope you are joking, becuase you are a ****ing idiot, how can you say that the ion is not for speedball?[/vent]

i think hes implying that the ions a n00b gun and since n00bs play in the woods... put 1 and 2 together.

moral: GET AN IMAGINE

no, get a b2k or an imp. it wont break. and is much better than the imagine. why do people ALWAYS have to start out with blowbacks? understanding a b2k/imp is no harder...
dont, i repeat, dont get an ion. it wont just break on you, it will be continuously broken on you...

1. ion easy maitnence....
2. he said REC ball....spider imagin for woodsball?
3. imagine=open bolt=WOODS IN BOLT
4. ions are the best buy for that money
and all you guys that are saying that ions are so hard to maintain.. are just saying that to defend you fetal plastic ego....
get the ion....you wont regret it... u might see wires but all u have to do is slide the damn tube in.
ION IS FOR YOU

i am seriously going to come to your house and slap the living hell outta you.

1. you dont have an ion, so stfu, you are messing with hoses all the time, which means they will eventually leak, and finding the leak is the issue.
2. just because he said recball, dosent say that ion sucks for speedball.
3. wtf does WOODS IN BOLT mean?
4. ions are not the best buy for that money, promasters are.

and you dont "just slide the damn tube in"

Open bolt really doesnt have anything to do with cleanliness if you have a hopper on there.

Also, rec ball does not necessarily mean woodsball. I dont play in tournaments or anything, but I play speedball a lot more then woods. I play for recreation, hence the term rec ball.
