What is a good paintball marker for speed ball not exceeding 250$. I mainly stay as cover guy (and stay in first the two bunkers providing cover for my team).
I want a sensitive trigger with at least 16 inch barrel for long range. I never play woods ball, and a electronic loader is a must . I have a spyder MR1 but I want to upgrade to the stuff I mentioned above.
thanks.

You're not going to be doing much with 250 if you're looking for marker and loader (assuming you already have an air tank). A decent speedball setup that can keep up with the dedicated speedball recballers out there, you're looking at at about $500 for quality gear that won't die on you.

For your budget (assuming $250 for marker and loader), you're looking at a spyder VS1 or VS2, smart parts vibe or maybe an 08 proto slg. Depending on what you spend for your marker, you could maybe get a halo or a reloader IF you go for the cheaper markers, or a VL eye force if you go for a more expensive marker.

The length of the barrel is not going to be doing anything to increase range, matter of fact 16 inches might either reduce your range since the farther it travels inside the barrel the more it slows down due to friction and since distance is determined by the speed it leaves the barrel at... well, if you know any physics you know what i'm talking about, or increase your gas usage to get the ball out at about 300fps with that 16 incher.

guys i dont know if I can post links on e-bay or not but I saw an Ion smart parts with EVOIII loader and an "72 3000 TANK". all of that for 230$ plus shipping and its brand new. I was wondering like how many ounces that tank has, cuz I got a 20oz c02 tank and is the 72 3000 tank compressed air or N2?

It's compressed air. Personally, I'm not a fan of that package. The original Ion was a PITA to work on, and VERY easy to break something in it while attempting to work on it. Unless you're used to working on paintball markers, I would avoid Ions unless it's an XE. Actually, even if you're used to working on paintball markers, I would avoid Ions unless they're XE's (or another bolt out back body on it).
