Alright, so ive been looking around the net, and have found some pretty
sweet Ion packages. One comes with the gun, a halo b hopper, and
a Java 48ci 3000psi compressed air tank for $360. Ive heard that
the halo b doesnt work well with the Ion's feedneck and that its a bad
match. Just wondering what you think of it and if youve had any
experience with the hopper and gun. I play both woods and speed
so if you think im making the wrong choice by choosing the ion, what
would you reccommend?

get a clamping feed neck, and are u sure that the halob, ion, and tank are 360 and not like 460 or something or is it used? cause the ion and halo together cost more that 360 |

If you could get that deal, then go for it. Just get a new fedneck with the cash you would be saving. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

K thanks guys, and ya im sure i can get that
good of a deal on it. If your interested, i found it on pntball.com.
Im kinda a newb, but what the heck is a detent, and with the package im
getting, is the tank nitro, because on the description it says
compressed air. Thanks ------------- Hey! Are Those My BALLS On Your FACE?! |

In the paintball world, Nitro is the same thing as Comprssed Air, and HPA. And a Detent is basicly the same thing as a ball stop, like on a Tippmann, although they're usually set up different than in Tippmanns. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

I've had 2 friends with Ions who got their Halos stuck in the stock necks. They tried to pull 'em out and the whole neck came off. Go with a clamping neck (CCM and the SP q-Lock are both very nice) and you'll be fine
