I am gonna have to say your A-5. The Ion would not be able to go it's full potential with a gravity hopper therefor making your a-5 faster and in most categories a better gun.

Your A-5 would shoot much faster than the stock ion.

Huh?!

Ion = 17 BPS right out of the box

A-5 = much less

The RT is around 15 BPS and is not tourney legal, and the E-Grip is at most about the same.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

^^^You can't really turn it off but I think there is a way you disable it. I think that you take out a srew or something. Not really sure though. Just to let you know I'm talking about the r/t not the e-grip.

He meant an Ion with a gravity hopper, as mentioned above.^

The Ion is a whole lot more marker for the money, even with the Cyclone factored into the equasion.

A decent hopper, and you have a wicked gun without spending $700-800.

He's using a gravity feed hopper. Show me one of those that feeds 17bps. If you don't want to invest in a good electric hopper and compressed air, then the Ion is not worth it. Stick with your A-5, at least for now, it looks pretty good. Hway, don't let your hatred of A-5s prevent you from reading the whole question.

If you get an electric hopper deff an Ion, and an Ion with an egg can shoot faster then a A-5 with the E-grip, plus the Ion is a lot lighter which you will need if you play speedball. Also get Air if you get the Ion.

Please for the love of god don't get a flatline.
