i need to find a paintball gun for a friend that is under $250. His birthday is in 1 week and i got my friends to pool some money together so we could buy him a new one. He likes to play woods ball and stock class speedball. His model 98 just broke and he dosent have money for a new one. Suggestions please.

A-5 $220
Shipping from an online store like Paintballgear.com will be free for a big order like that. Give the extra $30 to him to put towards a barrel. I assume he already has a mask and co2. EDIT: Nice sig. Edited by Hella Cool |

I would get him the A-5. It's one of the best woodsball guns under $250. Give him the extra $ to get upgrades or something.

The A-5 will serve him well in a woodsball scenario. If he wants more
speed than that then get a high end kingman spyder. The electra on sale would work. i would get him either a custom pro and lots of upgrades or the A-5 and a few ups. |

$248.00. Why wouldn't it be a good woodsball gun? Because it doesn't match a ghillie suit? |

You also have to buy a tank which is another $100 or more. I don't think you can find a $2 HPA tank. I really don't know much about ions because I have no personal experience with them, but are they as rugged as Tippys, durrable, and pretty much plain tough? If you dropped it in the water would it still work? If you took a spill and smashed it on a rock would it still function? I don't know, you tell me....

I don't ever plan to or ever have dropped my gun in the water. The Ion will be an excellent woodsball gun. C02 will work with the Ion and the A5 also requires a tank. Another question. Is an E-Grip A5 a good woodsball gun? Edited by Lightningbolt |

Ill take the broken m98 off your hands. Ill pay shipping charges.
For 250, go with the A-5. Its a decent gun, if you dont mind the cyclone. |

No one plans to drop their gun in the water. CO2 work with an ion? That is a joke.
There is an ion on co2 for you. Co2 does for an ion what drugs do for your brain. Not too pretty, is it? To answer your question, yes, the A-5 e-grip is an excellent woodsball gun. Edited by rossy11223 |

Actually the drugs qont freeze your brain but they may bust a few o-rings.
Get the A-5 its a much better deal for woodsball and mine is great in speedball too.

It's cheap and easy to get the tank anti siphoned, and why would you smash a gun against a rock, or throw it in water? |

whoever ran that Ion on c02 without an anti-siphon or a remote is brilliant. I can get the same result with a Tippmann. Your point is? The proper way would be a vert. mounted tank,Palmer,coiled remote. I can blaze 24 bps thru an electro on c02 all day long. There's at least a couple of guys here that have seen me do it. The Ion would be no different. Edited by Lightningbolt |
