Well I'm Thinking of getting a new marker. Right Now I have an A-5 with flatline,R/T and double trigger Nothing special. I really Like this gun but I have a big problem with the weight of the gun, with a full hopper my gun weights around 10 Pounds or so. I started playing woodsball but slowly got into speedball so now its a big disadvantage.

Anyways Im thinking of selling my A5 and getting a new marker. I will have around 500-700 dollars to spend. That has to include a new hopper and new Compressed Air tank.

So far ive been looking into the new "Raven Primal" and a "Bushmaster 2004". I have searched for other guns but theres too many guns out there and alot of mixed reviews. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know. Thx

If looking for an electro, then i would definatly recomend a b2k4 with pds. they are fairly cheap compared to other electros, their almost as fast, and come with descent stock parts.

personally, i am a mech kind of guy, i would much rather spend my money onto a mech cocker. One of the nicest mech cockers out there now is the orracle 4.5

orracles are the flagship markers for wgp, besides the karni. orracles are great guns stock, and their are few parts that you can upgrade because they come with great stock parts.

as for tanks, i would recomend a pure energy, or crossfire tank. you can get a 68/4500 tank for around 200

as for loaders, if your getting the cocker you would only need a revvy, its hard to get a cocker to shoot over 12-13bps. if you get the b2k4 then you would want a loader like an eggyII, which are around 60-70

thats a bit over your budget, but you can save some money by buying a 68/3000 tank, they run around 150 or so.

Look into the B2k with PDS. Its a pretty good entry level electro tourney gun.

Cockers are great guns. But I would look into both.

If you're looking for electro, go for the B2K4. If you like mechanicals, go for the 'cockers. If you can afford a Superstock (they're $600[blue only] on paintballgateway.com), get it. Better than the B2K4 in my opinion.

Well... I would go with a Impulse by Smart Parts. You can get a Smart Parts Vision Impulse w/ Vertical Regulator for around $550.

I would also get this tank... Pure Energy 72ci 3000psi Nitrogen Tank for about $90-100.

And as for a hopper I would get this... Halo B Belt Driven Loader for about $100.

http://www.paintballgateway.com/halobbeltdrive.html

Thats about $750 dollars worth of stuff.

I think that for your money this would be your best offer.
