sorry about my constant threads, but i cant make up my mind on something.  I really do not know any guns out there.  I like autocockers, would like to get one of them.  Anyone got any ideas?  also i need a nitro and hopper.  but suggest some cockers please :D

04 autocockers are like $250 now, or you can spend 100 more and get the 05.

I would get the 04, and put a used e2 or e1 on it.

Do you have 500 to spend on a gun, or hopper/nitro/gun

I like how people barely read the first post.

I don't know American prices, but an Ion with HPA and a egg should be good, do the math and if ou have money left over look for a used gun or a promaster.

Please for the love of god don't get a flatline.

Ion - $300

Compressed air - $130

Halo B (try to get it used)

If you can't find a good Halo B, go with an Evolution 2 - $70

Ditch the Ion.  You can get dm3s on ebay for like 300.  Great gun for the price.  Get a halo B and a tank.  Comes out to about 500, trust me you'll be happy.

Though it really depends on how much you play.  If you can justify spending 500 on a gun sure, but otherwise no.  What kind of game do you play?

b2k4(200) + hpa(200 we'll say) + hopper(100 we'll say) = 500 at most

Well, if you don't like the Ion, my second choice would be the Wrath. You can use CO2 on the Wrath, but I would suggest comp air

Wrath $280

compressed air $130

Halo B hopper $100

13entley,

If I were you I would look on eBay, there Paintball stuff is usually alot cheaper than going to your Local PBS, that way you could spend alot less $, so if you don't like the way your gun performes, you can always get better upgrades for it, because you saved. Just a thought, totally up to you.

Three on the head, two on the Back, and one in the Bunghole. Thats how Woodsball is Played.
