I am thinking about buying a gun in the price range of about 700$.  Right now i have my 98c.  i love it and was thinking about putting an e-bolt on it but it doesnt seem like it would be fast.  Any way can u guys just give me some good choices.

Don't buy an expensive gun based on someone else's opinion, try it for yourself before you buy.

I'd recommend you try Ebladed autocockers, 2003 Shockers, and Dye Matrixes.

I also highly recommend buying used. Make sure you know the seller and find out everything you can about the merchandise before you buy. Check out the local shops.

no way he can get a dm4 for 700, and also you have to take into consideration hopper, tank, and anything else you will need. So are you spending 700 on everything, or just the gun?

i would highly recomend the Indain Creek B2k5.  It is supposed to be amazing, and it comes standard with PDS.  They ship March 1st i think, and they are $500, which gives u leway for a hopper.  Also, Tippmann no longer makes the E-Bolt.

Man you guys know nothing. You said that the E-bolt isn't fast? True but not on Feb 1st. Then you can have a new chip for the e-grip or the E-bolt that can make you go up to 30bps.

O and yes E-bolts are stil made. Some other company makes E-bolts. The tippmann factory stopped making them but the other one didn't.

I would say get a shocker or a ecocker.

Go to www.pbreview.com and a store to see which gun you want.

Check out PBN and eBay for places to buy used and sometimes new guns.
