Being an SP man I'd still have to say go with a BKO. Ions are new and untried. Give em a while to fix the bugs.

| Get the nitro now, use it on your A-5, wait on the egg and Ion. I recommend a Halo instead anyways. |

tippmanns are very good guns but they don't come with things like double triggers expansion chambers and things like that. Ion is better than the a-5 but it is new so i wouldnt trust it that much. the evil omen sux ! plz dont get it my friend wasted his money on it. Get lyk a raven nexion, an idc bko,or a b2k4 pds. ------------- Black Vengence Autococker 12v revvy hopper clear 14in All American barrel Karnivor Feed Neck Black Rubber Bottom Hose 50ci/3500psi n2 tank |
