Now I have been thinking about getting a new gun for awhile and have been doing my reasearch and it has lead me to the following choices. WGP Outkast (would eventually get an E2) Ion or just keeping my A-5 with E-grip, getting the Was board and LPK I have shot plenty of cockers and just love how smooth and fast the backblock moves. Also I'm not afraid to tinker with a gun, so matinence is not a problem. Plus I would eventually E2 it. I am a little skeptical about the Ion. For one thing no one really knows how good this thing is, all they're going buy is smartparts word. Plus there aren't any upgrades yet, and I enjoy the customizaiton process. But there is the 3rd option of just keeping my A-5. It has a Ti Boomy, E-grip, Shocktech reg, and I have compressed air. It's a great gun and I love it, I'm just getting alittle bored with it. Anyway I have about $400 to spend on a gun and a loader I already have compressed air. So if you have any other suggestions you can give them, but I don't want any used guns. ------------- http://profile.xfire.com/kentuckyfriedgangsta">

I think you should keep your A-5 because you have faster shooting if you get the w.a.s. board it is super durible, if you have the lpk and E-Grip then your gun will great. ------------- Olive PM6 with virtue |

Go with the Ion. I love mine. It shoots awesome. If you don't do that,
get the Cocker. It'll be slower untill you E-Blade it, but then it'll
be a much better gun than the A-5. But I say Ion all the way.

idk wuts all that great bout the ion, a-5 wit e grip can go 15 bps *wit jcs trig * and ion goes 17, only 2 bps dif. gun looks to small for my taste (tho thats personal pref). I'd go wit the outkast if ur goin to get the e2. wgp>sp -------------

Get the Ion. I'm sure that in the near future there will be plenty of upgrades for it. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
