an ion is

electro pnuematic

tournament legal

has more firing modes

runs low pressure

an electra is

a sear tripper

rocking frame isnt tournament legal

rocking trigger frame- only 3 modes with no ramping

is high pressure

overall i believe the ion is a higher end marker with more features and i think it is a better buy than an electra...also the 06 electra is $50 more

yup

pbgear.com

 

i almost cried when i saw that, i gotta get rid of the imp fast

im working a trade for a AGD rt pro with alot of ups

**edit**- heres the promaster, yesterday there were 3 colors left, no only one is left in stock.  Im guessing they did it to compete with the ion, or get rid of them for a new line, like the normal bushmasters with a new gun every year

It's now official. Promasters are now THE BEST new gun for the <$300 range. I wish I had the dough.

There was no sarcasm. Try finding me a gun in that range better (for speedball obviously)!

^^its impossible too...

whats stormy thinking

better board, body, stock barrel/feedneck, better trigger/frame, comes with good internals including delrin bolt,

and more companies are making ups for them, and im sure there are more coming since more people will be buying them at that price, or a new promy will come out(which i doubt)
