Yah, theyve been that price a while, i was gonna make a short little thread about it, but not many people around here have been debating about guns in that price range.

The reason they are cheaper are because they didnt sell much, people think ICD isnt that good, and, the price was extremely higher than the normal ones, so they didnt sell, and they probably have a stock pile.

Go for it, you wont be disapointed.

Lasoya left em so theyve been discontinued and werent selling becasue the benifiets werent really worth the price and most people like the milling on the regular better.  The only things better about it is the reg - supposedly its a vigilante - , the trigger, which is debatable, and the lighter weight milling meaning a lighter gun but possibly uglier to some people.

So, If I were to get one, LaSoya wouldn't see an ounce of my money? I like those markers, but HATE that man...

Just because he thinks he's the pretty-boy of paintball (but isn't) and is way past his prime doesn't mean you should hate him DT.... nor the fact that he has a bad habit of throwing temper tantrums on the field, throwing his $2K markers, etc.... oh wait.... NM, I hate the guy too....

Yea I've been promoting them in discussions for a week. I made the miscalculation of saying they are a better value for the money than an A-5 (less than an A-5) and USAFguy harangued me over it.

Wow...good deal.

I cant stand LaSoya either, but being that he dropped it, I cant see how he'd touch any of the money.

How arent Promasters better for the money?  Faster, lighter, smaller, more efficient....

Well, also not NEAR as upgradable. It's pretty much what you buy is what you get with a Promaster.

He said that their boards are horrible, and ICD is a bad company. He then said that A-5's are better than Freestyles.

The debate had started w/ me saying that i think there are better deals out there than a tippmann, that you should shop around, and that you shouldnt single out electro guns just because you play in the woods.

Their boards arent bad(atleast in the normal version, i dont know if theres a difference).  They come with all the modes, ramping, semi, etc...

They have some upgrades, but not many, the ones out do make a difference like the valves and they do have some boards, thats pretty much....

They already come with a delrin bolt, they are equiped with stuff youd upgrade to, just not the same quality.  Is that what im trying to say?

Holy guano!  If somebody did that to me, I would beat them into unconsciousness with my marker...twice.  What a tool.

Meh, ICD guns are like any other--you get what you put in.

I've heard tons of disaster stories about Freestyles, yet most of the people who actually know how their FS work stick by them forever.

*EDIT* And yes, Chris Lasoya is both retarded and a waste of oxygen.
