First Tourney Level Gun

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well, heres the situation. I have played alot of paintball before but
ive never owned my own gun, so im going to buy one this year. The
budget it pretty good, i cant go crazy but im in the 3-7 hundred range
for the gun only, not the HPA or Hopper. Basically im thinking of
getting an Ion and putting ups on it, new barrel, new trigger, new reg,
new feedeck, dropforward, qev's etc. Or i will go with a stock 05
Superstock Autococker until i can afford some upgrades for it. So what
would you do? Pimped out Ion or stock 05 Superstock Autococker?

Poll Question: Which would be better to start off with?

	05 superstock is very nice. It's got looks and very nice accuracy but its not very fast. The ion is light sturdy very fast and accurate enough. So i would go eith the ion. It is also $100 cheaper then the superstock. The only way i'd get the superstock is if i was going 2 buy an eclipse blade 2 for it and that cost 400$.

	The Superstock is different than the Prostock, the prostock is all pneimatic, the superstock, which is about 7 hundred $ has a worrblade thats custom made for the marker. Or you coud call it, newly designed.

	Superstocks are nice-the '05s have this razor kind of look to the whole body and frame. The new Worr Blade frame is built off the E2 blade, so now upgrades needed there. They're very fast-but the don't ramp like the Ion. Personally, I would say get the Superstock if you don't mind the back block moving, because it will be more accurate, won't need upgrades, and will be better looking than the Ion. If you mind the back block, just get an Ion with an Ultralite or a barrel kit, a clamping feed neck, THEBetterone's trigger(he's on PbNation), and a Sidewinder or 2-Liter.
