Corrected. Kind of.

And its not like saying, "I know you are, but what am I?". Its like saying, "If you don't correct your own sentences, I'm going to correct them for you. Then you will look like even more of an idiot then you do already. So it is advised you stop posting."

Has the argument ended already?  Gosh, and it was starting to get good, too!  I so enjoy reading posts that are more or less, carefully thought out with decent grammar and spelling.  Refreshing!

Too bad I missed this thread, it would have been fun.

I think of myself as polite, and even i would have said something about how horrible the post was, but, I was too late entering the thread, many posts had already been made, and I didnt want to waste my time arguing with someone who backs a post like that up.

I've Played with an Ion and i own myself an A-5(E-grip), i really like both guns so i dont have any trouble with them, i bought an a-5 cus i love how it looks n the much i can customize it without having to buy real expensive parts, i can just go to the store buy a airsoft m4 clip do some modifications and i'll have a nice tippmann clip. althought u could so same to the ion, another stuff is that ion its  really accurate but i still went for an a-5 because i didnt had enought money, since the a-5 comes with cyclone and its a nice loader, i dont need to spend like 60$ in a good electric hopper, so i would just spend like 280$ in the gun and 30$ in a co2 tank, and i would be ready to play.

I bought an Ion as a backup for my A-5.  Haven't modded it much.  Had to put a drop on it since I use 114ci/3000psi bottles on it.  Thought about upping the internals over the winter, but just never got around to doing it.

And my apologies to Hybrid for stringing out this thread with another post.

Ah, screw H-S; here's another post.

This is a great debate.  "Woods" vs. "Speed" at comparable prices.  (Yes, you'll need an e-grip for an A-5 to compare, but you'll need a hopper for an Ion.)  Yeah, I know, you can take either to either field (as I do) but in essence, that's what it breaks down to.  I own an A-5 and my son own's an Ion.  The Ion is more accurate out of the box but if you like milsim, A-5 is the way to go b/c with the right mods you can get that accuracy and easily keep up with an Ion.

I've done speedball with my A-5 and my Ion.  I have to say the Ion was a better choice because it is much smaller and lighter than my A-5 setup.  I was more maneurverable with the Ion when it came to diving and ducking behind the 'pipes' than the A-5.  Was getting more equipment hits on the A-5 too.

Now in the woods, definitely A-5.
