Since when is an ion $250 and a good woodsball gun?


I've seen Angels, Shockers, Timmies, and other high end markers being used in the woods, saw an agel with a camo anno...

eBay or any forum that allows selling usually has someone with a cheap Ion...

Should have gone Ion IMO, but it's your friend, and your cash to spend on him.

I didn't say that I smashed my gun on a rock or threw it in the water! Things are always a possiblitly though. My friend dropped his Spyder in the water. People trip and the gun could hit a rock. In woodsball, anything can happen.

So somehow the Ion isn't as durable as other guns? 

I'm not falling for the myth that Tippmann's aluminum and plastic is more durable than other companies.  I've found that my current gun is more durable and reliable than my 98.

Granted the ION is a newer gun and has to be time proven but tourney players I know have dropped their Shockers and Timmies and aren't looking back.

you tourney ball scum lol when will you ever learn my 98 is just as good as any ion o yeah 24 bps no skill just spray and pray

98 custom double trigger ,new barrel (14'' or below n e thing over 13 inches just wastes gas)and a cheap folding stock so you have the balance you get with a stock

trust me i think about paintball 24/7 look at the time i posted it

i think that you are one heck of a friend- especially if ya get the a5 for him

its a great step up from a 98(smoother/faster/fieldstrip./

i have fired 4000 rds thru mine and no breaks chops-now i use a technique i call running the trigger-it gets me some serious bps( how much idon't know-how do people know?)

i have modded to a r/t and double trig-comp speed ball for me no! but in the hands of the right person i think you could use it there.

woodsball-if he's against 98's he'll be lovin that gift! sp smooth so.....easy!

i just gave him the a-5 and then he went right to atomix and bought himself a low pressure kit and a empire barrel kit.

if you willing to kick it up 50 bucks you can buy a wgp pump sniper and im pretty sure u can take the pump off and throw a pneumatic and then u have a semi auto!  but a stock class gun for 250 or less, i'd go pgp.  They are great woods guns, they're a stock class, they're a pistol also, and best of all they're only around 80 bucks!  but the only downside is you need the cooper t-bolt to make it complete.  it's only 20 bucks.  i think you can find it here: http://www.stockclasspaintball.com/articles/reviews/pgp2kbr. shtml 

hope i helped

The gun I reccomended, it's predasessor is almost turnament grade.  With the one I reccomended, your friend could stick on a revvey w/xboard, a new hopper, and be good to go in a turnament.

get an a5

and with the spare $ get a double trigger

and decide about a r-trigger or lapco bigshot barrell ive got one and they are my favourite barrell's

hence why i sold my flatline and kept my bigshot

they have good accuracy,strength,length and are reccomended by a hell of a lot of people 

Tippmann A5
Double trigger
Bigshot
Nvader goggle system
Class 3 Laser sight
I SOLD THE REST
