Subject: Ion, Evil Omen, or BKO
Date Posted: 14 December 2005 at 7:42pm

I'am just getting into speedball, but I've been playing woodsball since I was like 10. So I was wondering what would be a good speedball gun to start with. I'm willing to spend up to 300$ on the gun alone. Any other suggestions for other guns please list them and tell me why you think its better. I usually play front when I do play speedball, if that helps any.

I would go with the Ion if you dont plan on upgrading much. If you plan on upgrading, go with a BKO or B2k

Yes, defiantly Ion. BKO's stink, and Omen's are ok, but Ions blow both out of the water.

New Omens are aight, BKO's are fast but they don't have eyes so that's bad.

Ion or Omen. I think an Ion would treat you better, though.

Regular Reloader will cap your rof, but yoyu won't chop if the gun has eyes.

im thinking of leaning towards the omen now, as ive heard people say the
ion is made of plastic, and that a brand new evil omen isnt crap like the old
ones. so its basically between the ion and omen now.

The ions are not made of plastic. they have a plastic shell, and the plastic is a high grade.

Not really...i wouldnt have it take a beating. 

I would go with the omen 2.0 because its got a lifetime warranty and if u can set the recock, it will NOT chop.

the ions body isnt weak but its not as durable as a 98c.....the ion is a better buy you already have eyes and its still from smart parts....i love my ion and i will probably have it for awhile

omg ppl, its simple......... ion if u wana spend that much, but i dont mean to sound like spoiled or something cause im not... i work for all my shyte but i think that you should play speedball with ur woodsball stuff and save up then sell ur stuff and buy a higher end marker like an octane so you almost NEVER have to go through the problem of upgrading and stupidity like that

<nice filterdodge. strike for you>

Ion. I have one and it pwns. It has no kick, its fast and light. The only thing that sucks about it is the trigger and feedneck, but you may also want to get a better barrel.
