Well I'm Thinking of getting a new marker. Right Now I have an A-5 with flatline,R/T and double trigger Nothing special. I really Like this gun but I have a big problem with the weight of the gun, with a full hopper my gun weights around 10 Pounds or so. I started playing woodsball but slowly got into speedball so now its a big disadvantage. http://members.cox.net/loomix/Tippy.jpg - http://members.cox.net/loomix/Tippy.jpg http://members.cox.net/loomix/Tippy2.jpg - http://members.cox.net/loomix/Tippy2.jpg http://members.cox.net/loomix/Tippy3.jpg - http://members.cox.net/loomix/Tippy3.jpg Anyways Im thinking of selling my A5 and getting a new marker. I will have around 500-700 dollars to spend. That has to include a new hopper and new Compressed Air tank. So far ive been looking into the new "Raven Primal" and a "Bushmaster 2004". I have searched for other guns but theres too many guns out there and alot of mixed reviews. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know. Thx |

If looking for an electro, then i would definatly recomend a b2k4 with pds. they are fairly cheap compared to other electros, their almost as fast, and come with descent stock parts. personally, i am a mech kind of guy, i would much rather spend my money onto a mech cocker. One of the nicest mech cockers out there now is the orracle 4.5 as for tanks, i would recomend a pure energy, or crossfire tank. you can get a 68/4500 tank for around 200 as for loaders, if your getting the cocker you would only need a revvy, its hard to get a cocker to shoot over 12-13bps. if you get the b2k4 then you would want a loader like an eggyII, which are around 60-70 |

Look into the B2k with PDS. Its a pretty good entry level electro tourney gun. -------------

Cockers are great guns. But I would look into both. -------------  |

| If you're looking for electro, go for the B2K4. If you like mechanicals, go for the 'cockers. If you can afford a Superstock (they're $600[blue only] on paintballgateway.com), get it. Better than the B2K4 in my opinion. |

Well... I would go with a Impulse by Smart Parts. You can get a Smart Parts Vision Impulse w/ Vertical Regulator for around $550. http://www.paintballgateway.com/smarparimwit.html - http://www.paintballgateway.com/smarparimwit.html I would also get this tank... Pure Energy 72ci 3000psi Nitrogen Tank for about $90-100. http://www.paintballgateway.com/puren68ci30p1.html - http://www.paintballgateway.com/puren68ci30p1.html And as for a hopper I would get this... Halo B Belt Driven Loader for about $100. http://www.paintballgateway.com/halobbeltdrive.html - http://www.paintballgateway.com/halobbeltdrive.html Thats about $750 dollars worth of stuff. I think that for your money this would be your best offer. |
