Well guys, as you know I've been tinkering with the idea of selling my A-5 for an Ion. Since I've been an A-5 owner most of my paintball career I have no clue about electro hoppers.
I've been looking at the
I know the Apache is the fastest out of them(20bps, followed by the Evolution II at 17bps) but I want to know what you guys think. I don't have the money for a halo B right now, but I will get it sometime in the future. |

i used Halo costs about the same as the Apche, and its so much better
And dont buy an ion. Buy a real high end gun. Used Matrixes, angels, and e-mags are a little more than a very upgraded ion. Edited by cdacda13 |

Its either Ion, or stick with the A-5. I'm not spending money on a real high end gun untill I get myself out of the woods more.

No thanks, I'd have some serious problems taking an Angel into the woods.
Hell, I'm even worried about the ion in the woods. Edited by You Wont See Me |

I've held the Ion, and it feels like crap. The barrel on it is crap, and the reg can blow if you don't set it correctly the first time. I personally hate the way they feel. Plus, it's capped at 17 bps- the Cyclone can feed that fast. Eggy gets my vote.

Yea I'll have to agree here. I sold my E98 for an ION not to long ago and even though it is not that bad of a gun I just dislike the feel of it so much that I am going to try to sell it and buy an Autococker or Custom Pro E. But go with an Eggy if you get an Ion. |

sell out. Just get an egrip. And I dont know where you get your prices at. Action village has the Apache led and lcd for $50, but those would look stupid on a Ion. Get an egg. |

Prices were from County.
Got a link to where you found those prices? Yes I regret it, but I may become a sellout. Edited by You Wont See Me |

Yes, I'm not sure if I can afford a large tank right now. I'm thinking something smaller like 72/3000

72cu isnt that small :P Anyways, stick to the A-5. The ION is nothing special..., if your going tourney, get a lower cost 'Cocker or something... |

Seriously man Ive seen tippmanns in the ultimate madness 3 on 3 tourny and they performed just as well and in some cases better than " high end guns". And with all the rule changes going on to 15 bps max in the paintball leagues, those extra bps are useless if your going to be playing tourneys. Save your money and just upgrade your A5 or heck just keep it and get a custom pro E.

I'm looking for a little better performance than I have now with teh A-5. I want something I can go from woods to speed with without the big bulky cyclone feed.

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.

Ions cant cylce faster then 17bps. I'd also like to see some actually get 17bps on an Ion in the first place. |

If you are going to save up for a Halo B later and also get an Ion, I would sugges not wasting your money on any of those hoppers and just buy whatever you want all at one so you don''t waste $80 on a hopper you won't use anymore because of your Halo.

If you insist on an Ion, go for the Evo 2

I'm still just tinkering with the Idea. I'm just finding out how much it will cost me to be able to get this thing running smoothly.
