| Well, heres the situation. I have played alot of paintball before but ive never owned my own gun, so im going to buy one this year. The budget it pretty good, i cant go crazy but im in the 3-7 hundred range for the gun only, not the HPA or Hopper. Basically im thinking of getting an Ion and putting ups on it, new barrel, new trigger, new reg, new feedeck, dropforward, qev's etc. Or i will go with a stock 05 Superstock Autococker until i can afford some upgrades for it. So what would you do? Pimped out Ion or stock 05 Superstock Autococker? |

05 superstock is very nice. It's got looks and very nice accuracy but its not very fast. The ion is light sturdy very fast and accurate enough. So i would go eith the ion. It is also $100 cheaper then the superstock. The only way i'd get the superstock is if i was going 2 buy an eclipse blade 2 for it and that cost 400$. ------------- Black Vengence Autococker 12v revvy hopper clear 14in All American barrel Karnivor Feed Neck Black Rubber Bottom Hose 50ci/3500psi n2 tank |

| The Superstock is different than the Prostock, the prostock is all pneimatic, the superstock, which is about 7 hundred $ has a worrblade thats custom made for the marker. Or you coud call it, newly designed. |

| Superstocks are nice-the '05s have this razor kind of look to the whole body and frame. The new Worr Blade frame is built off the E2 blade, so now upgrades needed there. They're very fast-but the don't ramp like the Ion. Personally, I would say get the Superstock if you don't mind the back block moving, because it will be more accurate, won't need upgrades, and will be better looking than the Ion. If you mind the back block, just get an Ion with an Ultralite or a barrel kit, a clamping feed neck, THEBetterone's trigger(he's on PbNation), and a Sidewinder or 2-Liter. |
