I currently own a tippmann 98 custom w/response, teardrop, expansion chamber, and evolution hopper.

I wanna upgrade to a better gun for tourneys and im looking to spend around 230$ maybe lil more.

Tell me what you recommend

Ion, B2K/PDS, Promaster if you wanna save some more. There's good deals on used guns too. Ebay or PBnation are your friends.

More easily than a Tippmann.

I forgot to mention that you will need an HPA tank and a good hopper for all three of those guns.

Getting all three would put you at the 450-500 mark. Is that too much?

Well, if you have the 98c and $230, I'd say buy an Ion for $200. You may even find one for less with upgrades already on it. Then use the extra money from the $230 plus the money you get from selling the 98c to get a HPA tank and decent loader.

well, promasters, new, stick above $360ish

and ive searched about 8 sites for the b2k4, where ive seen em, and they dont have them, just some bkos, but they arent as good as b2ks and they are more than an ion for some reason

What you could do, is buy an Angel that is about 4-5 years old. Stuff like the LED, LCD. You can get one of those for less than $300 over ebay or just from someone local who is selling there's.

well imps are really boxy, and big. a lot of people complain about size, some are really nice like rat jr. imps, or nasty imps, but just regular imps are so great without ups.

^*arn't?

but anyway, upped imps are okay if you don't mind weight...  just buy one used... 

i would lean towards the b2k4 because i don't support smart-parts... but that's just a beef i have..  The b2k and ion are pretty much the same...  they balance out....

pick on up on www.pbnation.com

any more questions?
