hey just wondering if anybody has had any experience with the EOS. i know some people don't think smart parts is any good, but i just wanted some expert opinion. ha sike! but seriously does anybody have pros and cons for it?

p.s. i've read reviews for it and seen a decent bit about them but i would rather someone address me directly with what they think, thanks

okay really guys.. haha this is not the place for this post. but would anyone give me advice on something else perhaps?

i have a 98c pro-e w/ cyclone and an ion. now the 98 altogether after the ups was like $330ish and i got the ion with a eggy and a hpa tank for $200 dollars. but i don't want to have both, and would rather sell one for the money. and i am considering the EOS as you can see. but what should i do, try to sell one, the other, both? btw not trying to sell, just begging for some wisdom.

Just dont listen to him...

What do you like more?  And why the EOS?  You already have an Ion in your possesion.

okay thanks for the input and i have decided against the EOS entirely. im thinking about the invert mini, but a friend said i would be better off getting a pmr rail instead but i don't know which way to go...

Ever think about the Dangerous Power Fusion?

I would pick that over the EOS/Ion/Mini/Rail.

Fusions are getting harder to find new.  The F8 is pretty much the newer generation of it, but some people prefer the Fusion over it.

i like what i've found but i want to know what you think about, the 07 fusions compared to the F8's. oh and doess the g3 stack up to these?

i found a package deal where a guy has a brand new fusion, never shot, with never used halo b w/ rip drive, and a steel hpa tank. all for 400. is it a no go or a decent deal?

or should i just get a rail and put the metal parts on in replacement for the carbon parts and call it a day..

Ok, let me tell you about the Fusion. Its a mid end electro, very efficient
and low on maimtenence, lowered on price not to long ago because of
the F8s. F8s are a bit smaller and lighter and does not have a lpr. The
G3 is their new gun. It has average efficiency(spool). I'm not that familer
with G3s, but they are nice.

LE fusions were $260. LEs have lifetime warranties.
DP is a great company, you can't go wrong with them. The fusion/f8 are
comparable to Legends and Cyborgs.

I hope that didnt sound stupid, I'm on my iPod and can't really correct it.

I went to a proshop 2 days ago and held them and kind of played around with them in my hands and i don't think i like the fusion so much anymore, the G3 felt much better in my opinion. And when i went to play yesterday a few guys had fusions and invert minis. The fusion still only felt okay to me. It was considerably better b/c the owner had tweaked the trigger, but when i shot a mini i thought it was 10 times better feeling than a fusion.

If you like how it feels, get it.

That's what I've always used to determine which gun I've wanted.  I just take whatever feels good to me.

From what i've seen, and shot, the EOS is a really shiny ION.

Pick your poison, I don't like either of 'em.

I've picked my poison and I got it in the mail today.

A new DP Fusion. I read the manual and took some of it apart to inspect my new companion. I got an awesome deal; new fusion, new halo b w/ rip and warfeed, and new but 1 yr old smart parts tank = 410.

Im really happy with it, thanks to everybody and MeanMan specifically

i might get pics up of it and my tippy soon
