Well the Wraith is capped at 20, the Ion is capped at 17, and the Trilogies are mech, so make your own decision there. Of course, if you upgrade the boards in the Wraith or Ion, it's anybody's game. |

No, I was leaving it up to you. Your question was "Which is fastest" and I laid out the specs for you. Now you can make your own decision. |

Get the Ion, hands down. I ain't a fan of the Wrath's. It's just not there for me with those guns. And the Ion is way more upgradable than the Wrath. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Go for the Ion. It feels really solid in your hands and shoots ropes.

A-5. It's more durable than the Ion and Wrath, and with some upgrades, it could be just as fast. ------------- Zerglet. |

I would go with the Ion, we have had several problems with them at the store though. So if you get one I would suggest buying from your proshop, that way they will work on it for free.

The gun doesn't come down to speed. You can have the fastest gun in the world. Great for you. Now you have to go get the fastest loader in the world, and that will cost you alot. And even then it wouldn't matter if you can't hit anything anyway. I'd go for an Ion with an upped barrel.

Get an A-5 egripped if you want the kind of performance of the ION but
much more durable and reliable. If you need more than the 17 bps
the cyclone and egrip can handle, there are always upgrades that allow
you to run it faster such as the WAS board for the egrip and the QEV
for the cyclone. If the 22 bps the QEV can handle isn't enough,
then get a q-loader or something, but I honestly don't see the
difference between a marker than can shoot 15 bps and one that can
shoot 30... it only takes one ball to beat an opponent.
