I am asking because I might get a Ion and right now I have a 98c and I don't now if that is a good choice.

Ion. Keep in mind though that you'll want to get either HPA or get your co2 tanks anti-siphoned (HPA is highly reccomended though).

If you're serious about speedball, definetly the ion. I just play speedball with a bunch of my friends every sunday, so my 98C is fine. However, if I were to go serious (tournaments and stuff), I'd definetly get, at a minimum, an ion.

Good point.

Unless you have the money for the ion, HPA, and an electro hopper the ion isnt for you.

First of all, there really is no such thing as a sniper in paintball. A sniper, by definition, is able to take a target out at a long range, without being seen and having to face retalitory fire. In speedball, snipers don't exist. In woodsball, you could hide, and take the other team out, but they would still be able to hit you. The flatline with the extra distance did allow this somewhat, but "sniper" still wasn't really there. With the advent of the APEX barrel, sniping is now actually a possibility, since it able to fire a very great distance. You'll only really be a sniper with an APEX. Otherwise you're just gonna be known as a smuck who thinks he's a sniper.


Oh, and I don't even know why I responded to your post, since it is completely off topic, and I have now just contributed to hijacking this thread.

By the way, since you allowed multiple votes the poll is now screwed up. If i felt like it i could easily vote 2,000 times for whatever i wanted to.

True. Whoever voted 98 custom that many times should be shot. The Ion is a much better gun a 98 Custom,

screw um all, get a B2k!

it really depends...Ion's are better at a stock level, but Tippys are super durable and they last forever...they both have a large array of upgrades also...i would give the upper hand to the Ion however, because I am a speedballer

I agree tippmanns can be upgraded beyond belief to be made into killer guns.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.
