x7 is meant to be modable looks

sp8 can be modable in performance.

 

the question is if you want a gun that looks like an sp8?

cause I gurantee they will never make an x-7 mod like one.

You have told us nothing about yourself that would come anywhere near
giving us a clue as to which one would work best for your situation.

What are your ultimate goals for a marker? Looks? Performance?

How about giving something to us to work with ...
If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

Well, going on knowing nothing about what you want, I would say go with the X7.

I would say go for the SP-8 it has looks, and also better performance the the X-7, otherwise you might as well get an A-5, since that is basically an X-7.

Right.. Definitely go with the sp8 100%.

It is a FAR FAR FAR better marker than the a5 and the X7 is not much different from a A5

SP8... DO IT!!

SP8-$300, uses ION internals, (electronic only..no playing in the rain.) board is capped at 17 (I think) doesnt come with a hopper. must use an angle feedneck adapter. you can get some ups for it...like a legal suppressor kit..IDK how but its legal
X7-$300 (base model)  comes with a hopper, can get and Egrip, R/T or just leave it mecanical. can get ups to make it look like what ever gun you want.

If you are looking for performance buy an ion they are cheap as chips! but if you want your marker to look like a real weapon real buy a X7.

I have play with a sp8 in the rain and also dropped my shocker in a river and both of them work fine.

it doesn't silence the gun that much ions are fairly quiet to start out with. playing around with the different barrel in my back yard i haven't noticed any real difference in the short and long barrels loudness.

If you're just playing in the woods an X7 or SP8 will be fine, but I think the X7 will be better because it is more durable. If you play a little speedball it really wont make a difference, but if you are really into speedball go with the SP8

if you're going to play speedball dont get either. The SP-8 is too large.
