well i only worked 3 days this week so i got paid $180...normally i work 5 day weeks at $300 a week...but she gave me 2 days off....anyway im looking into getting stuff for my ion or something like that.

I only plan on spending this weeks pay check nothing more. So its $180 and not a penny higher...excluding tax. anyway.

what im thinking about getting is empire blue jersey and pants, which is $111 and a NXE 3 pod pack for $30.

now i dont have any jersey or pants yet, and i dont have a pod pack, (and ive been playing for 4 years now.) But i also want to upgrade my ion which is completely stock right now except for the new feedneck. Ive been looking at the new APE board for the ion which will come out this month but i could pre order it for $100.

ok so what shall i do? get the jersey, pants, pod pack or the APE board? Or what? anyway thanks.

Jerseys and pants are pointless. I play in camo pants and tie dye (I don't know why...). Get crap for the Ion.

Go with ups for the Ion. I'm sure you can find a jersey somewhere for cheap if you really want one. If you're not that serious, jerseys and pants are pointless.

I would get pants before a jersey.  Pants tend to take the most abuse while playing.

I don't think jerseys are pointless, I like them better than an old junk t shirt.  They are easier to move around in.

Maybe the tie dye is so it is harder to see paint marks.

You don't sound like a real serious player. Maybe buy some pants so you could stop ripping them. How do you rip them so much? They should be loose IMO. A new board for your Ion is kinda pointless. Do you really need to be shooting over 17bps? Do you shoot 17bps? I'm not sure if you like full auto or anything, but aren't those capped at 15 bps? So if you wanted a good performing gun, I'd go ahead with a new barrel, trigger, and qev for better efficiency. If you know where to look, you could fit that all under $180 excluding pants.

accually i play once a week all year round...sometimes i wont play because of baseball and im just tired but ya i usually play once a week all year. Well i want the APE board because well, with the stock board im kind of stupid with it. And the APE board has that pad that goes on the back of the grip, which basically wont make me stupid with it anymore.

reason i rip my pants so much is because of all the sliding i do and the kneeling. OH and ya there VERY loose.

and im not going to get just one barrel im going to get the evil pipe kit someday...

Well, have you read the manuel for the stock board. It is very easy to use. I like semi and so I don't change that setting and dwell can be set once and left that way until you get something new like qev or bolt. Just mess around with it a little and it is easy to get a hang of.

Ya I was meaning a kit, but just said barrel. In fact I have a Evil Pipe Kit backordered at my local store. He has a great deal of $120 for the full back system with an ultra evil front. It was a steal compared to ActionVillage.

t-board, cheaper, just as fast, free updates for life, and great customer service.  for the gear i have a redz envy pack and pants and think both are great for the price.(if you really want great pants look into the XSV ones)

Nope. I'm proud to say, I'm an honest player. If I get hit, I'll call it. Plus, the refs love my tie-dye!

Forget the pants and jersey Ummmm how on earth do your camo pants rip ive been rougher than hell with mine. make sure you by the that there loose in the knees so you have extra room when you slide and bend your knees. Put money in the gun and get a decent pack.
