I use an impy one it was a great gun, but at the time I didn't have the money because I just had bought a halo b hopper. So I went and got an Ion off of actionvillage.com at the time it was a great buy until I found out that my local paintball shop was selling theres for $200 brand new plus with the their membership card.The ion is the best,cheap high end marker, but you have to upgrade the feed neck(too small),and the stock barrel; some people dont like the trigger(its o.k.), but don't use co2 on the ion

    I'm getting the Custom Pro E, E-Grip, For a new player I suggest he get the Custom pro stock and if he wants he can upgrade it later. I'll give you a site that you can recommend he visit.

      http://www.xtremez.com - www.xtremez.com They've got the Custom Pro for about 160 bucks.

Speedball or Woodsball? How often does he plan on playing? How long does he want to keep this gun before he upgrades?

he's getting an e-99 i told him he's gonna regret it but he saw some rookie team, walking there trigger and he thinks he can do that stock and without any practice. i remember when i thought BPS was everything. i could walk a trigger to 17bps.
