    Posted: 09 July 2005 at 10:54pm

Hey everybody! Right now i'm in between guns. this year or maybe next i'm gonna get some money and i was wondering which should i get when i get some $$$. a-5, Ion, or another gun that cost around the same price?

I'm asking because i thought "i'm gonna definantly get an a-5" but then i've been researching smart parts and have really come to like their products.

my setup:
Ion
CP trigger
SP Q-lock feedneck
Check-it unimount 2
14" AA barrel

Ion, faster than a5, no need to upgrade it to make it better, it's fine just stock.

alright yall have used one before right?

i'm seriously thinking about getting an Ion, but at first i was kind of not sure about finding a hopper that could load fast enough for my liking.

so anybody have any objections or comment about using a halo b? and what makes it better than any other?

my setup:
Ion
CP trigger
SP Q-lock feedneck
Check-it unimount 2
14" AA barrel

well, the empire b is an excellent hopper, but the sound activation system sometimes doesnt "hear" an ion. thats why i prefer the vision system in the halo, it only feeds when theres no paint in the fedneck, no need to adjust speeds

Be sure to get a good HPA tank, and I'd go with a Halo B.

no the batteriy apparatus hooks to a 9-volt stlye plug, so if you just remove the apparatus and put in a 9volt, rap it in foam fo it stays still........ and BAM!!!!!!!!! lighter hopper
