I'm saving towards a new gun possibly, and I'm looking at a few different options. I should have roughly $500 US or so.

Option one: get an ion, halo b and tank

Option two: get an old cocker, have enos mod it, get halo b and tank (maybe)

Option three: Get an 03 trix off pbn.



Any input/ other suggestions?

I tell you one thing to get if you get a tippmann A-5 get the company to custimize your tippmann A-5 with a flatline barrel and response trigger with a double trigger the greatest ever. I just that the A-5 are just the greatest and awsome who ever made this gun and the awsome parts for it is the king of paintball. Who ever made this website was actually was really smart because you can learn about guns that are good and those that are not.

 WHO EVER MADE TIPPMANN A5 IS THE KING. WHO EVER MADE THIS WEBSITE I LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR HELPING PICKING THE RIGHT GUN WHICH IS A TIPPMANN A5

you don't need tippmann to customize it for you, you can install all those things at home. also, the double trigger and responce don't mix very well.  it's much harder to sweetspot.

An internal parts kit for the Ion better be darn cheap to make this gun a consideration IMO.  Probably rips pretty good out of the box and won't make much of a project gun.

I think project guns like a Cocker or Trix will suit you better.  You've got Eno's guidance on the Cocker and theguy for the Trix.  Bonus

Do you need an hp tank?  If I were in your position I'd save a little more and get a Super Stock Cocker but it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for modding. 

While Bushy's are nice guns and have lot's of up's, upgrading should be kind of cut and dry and actually won't end up being much of a hobby off the field IMO.

or the promaster, only 40 more than an ion
