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 ------------- http://www.imageshack.us">

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? |
