| Don't buy an expensive gun based on someone else's opinion, try it for yourself before you buy. |

I'd recommend you try Ebladed autocockers, 2003 Shockers, and Dye Matrixes.
I also highly recommend buying used. Make sure you know the seller and find out everything you can about the merchandise before you buy. Check out the local shops. -------------

no way he can get a dm4 for 700, and also you have to take into consideration hopper, tank, and anything else you will need. So are you spending 700 on everything, or just the gun? -------------

Try to find a used ebladed 03, or 04 cocker. I'm sure you can find some off of www.pbnation.com - www.pbnation.com

i would highly recomend the Indain Creek B2k5. It is supposed to
be amazing, and it comes standard with PDS. They ship March 1st i
think, and they are $500, which gives u leway for a hopper. Also,
Tippmann no longer makes the E-Bolt.

Well i wanted to try a B2k 4 with pds but i saw the pics of the b2k 5 and i like how it looks but i wonder if its going to be a great gun. Then i also thought about getting an auto cocker e bladed. ------------- |

Man you guys know nothing. You said that the E-bolt isn't fast? True but not on Feb 1st. Then you can have a new chip for the e-grip or the E-bolt that can make you go up to 30bps. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

O and yes E-bolts are stil made. Some other company makes E-bolts. The tippmann factory stopped making them but the other one didn't. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

I would say get a shocker or a ecocker. Go to http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com and a store to see which gun you want. Check out PBN and eBay for places to buy used and sometimes new guns. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">
