b2k4, impulse

Going to get a new gun but can't decide. Should i go with an Impulse most likely without the vison or the B2k with pds. I am playing speedball mostly and would like to upgrade the gun a fair amount eventually. Also do i need to replace the reg if i get a b2k or is that a BKO?

Don't get an Impulse. Either Ion or B2k4.

The impulse is made of poor quality aluminium that strips easly. It also doesnt come with an Lpr stock which makes evauntualy soleinoid overpressuring a given, Its larger, heavier, and slower than the b2k4 stock.

The Bushy comes at a cheaper price than the impulse with eyes, it also has a lpr, and all and all is of much better quality.

what about cocker prostock, black magic orracles and outkasts?

Heyya!

Ion...the Ion is like an Impulse, essentially. Made for the same market (low-price, high-end promises which deliver high-end preformance in the barest form...it's fast and that's it).

Anywayz, the Impulse is a decent marker. The solenoid may not overpressure since it is modified, but it is true that it needs some upgrades to make it high-end. Just like a stock Autococker.

Outcast, Black Magic, and and Orr-Acle are decent, no real need to upgrade unless you want to make them machines. The Prostock is high-end, again, in the barest form.

Let me put it this way...in paintball, regarding markers, you get what you pay for. Simply put, no company has found a way to make a high-end gun for $280.00 (BKO, Autococker, Wrath, Ion, etc all fall short).

Good luck!

hahaha wow that is just flat out wrong.  b2k4 over an impulse, trust me.  B4 i bought my bushy, i had the same question and searched for months till i got an answer i was happy with.  Besides looking like a brick, the trigger on an impy sucks and isnt very ajustable.  plus u get a whole bunch of features on a bk4 that u dont on an impy. 

o yea pink panther, try comparing an ion to a bko, not a b2k

last thing, i commend u for not getting swept up in the ion fad.  ive seen many and imo there just flat out ugly.

would i be able to upgrade a BK4 to the same level I could an Impulse

I'd say B2k4 over the Impulse, and an upped Ion over both. I've seen some Ions really ripping the fields in the hands of pros like Dynasty, as well as the guys who took 1st in Division II in Tampa earlier this month. Can anyone say that about the Impulse anymore, or the B2k4?
