I know people are getting tired of Ion vs Tippy questions but I was wondering what every body thought about this electric Tippmann 98c with Equalizer, double trigger, Halo B or Ion with Halo B I would go with the Tippy ------------- CLICK THE LINK BELOW http://model98.org">

thats just not fair to the ion  . But they are about the same cost, and the equalizer would give the tippy 13 BPS advantage (or what they advertise). I think you would need a halo B with a victory board, or a Q-loader.

Ion. Like you can really pull 30 bps. The Ion's spool
valve, so it shoot much smoother and consistently, and it has eyes so
it won't chop. And with rebound, you'll actually hit 17 bps.

^^^You're right; you can't use the WAS board with the 98c (only in the Custom Pro E). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Ion, no question. This is a really bad place to ask this though dude,
try another forum for a little less biased answers. What can you expect
from the Tippmann forum?

aparently you dont know what an equalizer is. Shoot 30 bps with a tippy  . Too bad the ion is caped at 17 , but im sure W.A.S. will come out with one.

i would get the ion but one thing i heard yesterday from this guy i know that was working on my shocker was that ions are designed to keep the valve open for continuous flow in rebound mode so they drop off a lot... somthin to think about -------------

You would have to get a centerfeed to even come close to getting to 20. And the Tippmann would become a blender. Ion has eyes so it won't chop. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules>

aparently you havent played with a Q-loader , but im sure they are compatible with the ion. Just face the facts, that right now, the tippy can shoot faster than the ion. You can shoot 30 bps with a lapco direct feed and a Q-loader. sorry man. maybe W.A.S. will get something to work here soon. they are kinda slow.

The elbow on the 98 slows the balls down a lot. Plus, a bunch of trigger mods would need to be done. With all the time and money you would need to put into it, you could've gotten an Ion. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules>

well, im not going to buy a 300 dollar setup, and expect to prove it to you, but a tippy can cycle 24 bps on a RT, and WAS advertises 30bps, and a Q never chops. well maybe that .01% like the chances a germ has of surviving lysol. |

| 24bps on a r/t?????? maybe 24cps. and its still not going to feed 30bps without any chops. |

Just because it cycles doesn't mean it shoots that fast. It begins to make incomplete cycles. Incomplete cycles= chops. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules>

There are few things you can't upgrade on an Ion. Triggers, board(s), bodies, feednecks, bolts, and soon there will be trigger frames. I only know of one board for the Ion right now, but there will be quite a few before long. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules>

I hate the ion go 98 man the ion is overated plus its made by smart parts they kill paintball. BTW the 98 is more of a respectable weapon to upgrade people will be like " Wow i never knew you could shot that fast with a tippmann." ------------- Gamertag: Kataklysm999
