I am gonna have to say your A-5. The Ion would not be able to go it's full potential with a gravity hopper therefor making your a-5 faster and in most categories a better gun. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Your A-5 would shoot much faster than the stock ion. |

Huh?! Ion = 17 BPS right out of the box A-5 = much less The RT is around 15 BPS and is not tourney legal, and the E-Grip is at most about the same. ------------- If I flee, kill me If I die, avenge me |

^^^You can't really turn it off but I think there is a way you disable it. I think that you take out a srew or something. Not really sure though. Just to let you know I'm talking about the r/t not the e-grip. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

The Ion is a whole lot more marker for the money, even with the Cyclone factored into the equasion. A decent hopper, and you have a wicked gun without spending $700-800. |

He's using a gravity feed hopper. Show me one of those that feeds 17bps. If you don't want to invest in a good electric hopper and compressed air, then the Ion is not worth it. Stick with your A-5, at least for now, it looks pretty good. Hway, don't let your hatred of A-5s prevent you from reading the whole question. |

If you get an electric hopper deff an Ion, and an Ion with an egg can
shoot faster then a A-5 with the E-grip, plus the Ion is a lot lighter
which you will need if you play speedball. Also get Air if you get the
Ion.
