Are you running CO2 or HPA?

CO2, A-5

HPA, Ion.

thats all you say

 

anyway, the ion is faster, smaller, lighter

but the A-5 runs from co2, comes with a hopper, more durable

You actually don't have to buy anything for a A-5-E, because it already has a hopper and runs fine off a co2 tank.  If you bought an ION, you would need a new hopper, you'd need HPA, and you would of course want to make it a lil better so you'd throw in aftermarket parts and probobly a BH board.

BUT, the ion has eyes, the a-5 will be chopping all over the place, i think that the ion is the better choice and investment. sooner or latter u will want a get a better gun then the a-5, with the ion, not likely, u can get a better board u can get a new body, there r soo many things to do with the ion, compared to a gun that u will eventually sell, or make it ur secondary gun.

The A5 doesn't really need eyes, it's not fast enough to need them. Choppage is usually caused by mechanical problems, and tends not be a problem on a well maintained gun.

On my A5 I only got one or two broken balls per case of paint, which is no more than I get with my Angel or cocker.

If you already have an A5, I'd play with it. The game isn't all about the gun, a skilled player with a pump will make quick work of a newbie with an Angel.

On the other hand, if you've got the cash, get whatever you want, just make sure you use it.

I'll go where I no one do know,

you dont even give reasons

why is it good?

some people may have never even shot a ion and dont really know much about them

i have shot them, and know stuff about them.  I like the trigger, but i dont go around saying "OMG get an ion, the trigger is amazing"

atleast if i said that, id be saying more than you because im saying what is good about it

not likely, most speedballers hate the ion, little kids pick one up and suddenly think they're pro ballers who can take on anyone.

With a few simple upgrades and some skill/practice, why not?

The game is 80% the player anyhow, 20% the gun, and the Ion is more akin to a Shocker that anything else.

Gun snobbery is sickening.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me
