So this isin't a trade?

If youhave an A5 allready, and are looking to upgrade from that, I would spend a bit more for a more high end gun.

^Dont be jealous because you dont own a cocker...if that's all you have to throw, then dang...that's weak.

As for the gun, if you want a faster and more versatile gun, go for the Ion.

Mainly speed or woods?  What do you want out of your gun?  Ion has the speed, weight, (better)efficiency, etc.

Buy the all american for your gun and a reg.

Ta da! Just as accurate as an Ion.

Well, Ions are LP but still...

Your dad owns a proshop, just take something!

If your dad owns the store, take a demo ion off the wall,(if its that type of setup), and use it, see if you like it, then clean it really well, and put it back.

Nice and simple.

Tippmann A-5 is great for Woods ball. If you have it more then 280FPS then you will get what you were talking about. If anything you can just get a better barrel and what not. Stick with the A-5 I say.

I'd say stick with the A-5 for woodsball, but get the Ion for speedball.  I'm sure you would miss you A-5 if you got rid of it.

I'd have to add my 2 pence worth for the A5. I've got an A5 and bought an Ion. used it once and sold.

 

Keep the A5, get a flatline, adda response trigger/e grip and you get firepower and range/accuracy.
