| I'd suggest you play some speedball games with the 68 before you upgrade to a different gun. You may find that you can perform great with your current marker. |

If I were in your place I'd get a new marker. Yeah, the ion is pretty good, so is the wrath and b2k4. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

Get the Ion. Then you'll have money to buy the needed HPA tank and Electronic hopper. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

I used cocker off ebay, you can get them with an E1 for that price. Also the B2K4 would also be a great choice. ------------- Ans GX-3 Dye ultra light E2 JAckhammer LPR ANS gen-x 2 reg eclipse QEV's nexus ram Egg 2 68/3000 carbon fiber tank Uni-mount |

I played a whole season with an A5 with an egrip, drop, hpa, and a dye
ultralight. The gun didn't hold me back, and I was very
competitive with the setup. The following season I used an ANS cocker, good gun, accurate, fast, and stone reliable. I moved to an Angel Speed, and then to a Fly, but I like the cocker so much I use it most of the time. It puts the paint where I want it, as quicky as I need it. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

Dont bother listening to the I hate ION people unless they give you an idea on a different gun. Most have had one bad experience where they put a non anti-siphon Co2 tank on it and killed their gun. I have seen lots of IONs and all of them worked great. The only time one hasnt worked was at a tourny where a little kid left it out in the sun with a C02 tank on it, and it wasnt even his gun. ------------- I wand to buy an ION Second place in Young Gunz Tourny Div.3 Ambush paintball, surrey, bc, canada |

| im movin up to hpa now and odnt know the difference between 3000psi and 4500, what is the difference? |
Posted By: SuzukiRider987

^^^The 3000psi and 4500psi are refering to the Internal pressure of the tank. The higher the Internal pressure, the more shots per tank you'll get. Don't get the internal pressure confused with the output pressure though. For an ion you'll want to get a High Pressure output tank. It won't matter what internal pressure you get though, they'll all work. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Yes 3000 psi tanks you multiply 10 to the Cubic inches of the tank, for 4500 you multiply 15 and 5000 psi you multiply 20 to the cubic inches. Example.... 45/4500 = 45 X 15 = 675 shots or so. 68/3000 = 68 X 10 = 680 or so, it will also vary because all guns are different. ------------- Ans GX-3 Dye ultra light E2 JAckhammer LPR ANS gen-x 2 reg eclipse QEV's nexus ram Egg 2 68/3000 carbon fiber tank Uni-mount |
