Hello guys I'm new to the forums and kinda new to paintball. I own a Victor II (sucks I know) and would like to ask a question. What would be a good gun to upgrade to? I can spend anywhere from 200 to 350. I play woodsball and my friend wants me to upgrade so I can play in tournaments with him. Thanks for the help.

Hey Mcrunner,welcome to the forum. I would either go with a Smart Parts Ion,or Diablo Wrath.

Well Tippmann is good for WB obviously,but it depends on what kind of tournaments you are planning to enter. You can certainly upgrade the 98C to a pretty fast gun and the A-5 has a decent speed as well, but they are rather large for any Speed tourny's.

you'll definitely need a good mask..thats a must...id rather have a profiler with an imagine than a shocker with a crappy jt mask..well not really but yeah...get either a profiler, flex, or vents (when they become available) and do you have a HPA tank? i doubt it considering you have a victor 2 (was the gun i started with too) if you need a mask/hpa then you should probably get a used ion and a profiler and maybe a pure energy 48/30 aluminum...and then upgrade the tank later.. |

Welcome. I'd get an Ion if you are going to be playing speedball tourny's and a Tippmann 98 if you're going to be playing woodsball/WB tourny's

If you wanna have your own style, go wrath, if you want an easy answer get an Ion.

if you already have a tank and mask i would buy a used e2 cocker. you can find them around 300 and they aren't made of plastic. A wrath is also a good gun, but if you want to be like everyone else get an ion and pray it doesn't screw up.
