| Hmm... that depends if you are willing to buy used. If you are, you can get some really nice guns for $500. If not, then I'd suggest that you buy a ProMaster, or an Ion. Also remember with any of these guns you'll want to get a HPA tank and good hopper. |

You could probably find a Nerve, but you'd be close to the $500 mark. I'm not a fan of Diablo guns, so thats gets a no from me. Look into an Ion. They're running for $200 now and you can find a used tank and Halo for another $200 or so. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

If your just getting into speedball, I advise using www.pbgear.com
and purchasing a stock ION for $200. Along with that, you can spend the other $300 on upgrades such as barrels (UL, CP, Freak), boards (I advise Virtue) and other necessary upgrades such as uni's, reg's, and feednecks. Good luck with whatever you choose. |

Used Intimidators are always nice.

Ion is probably your best choice right now. But a must IMO is to get a new board, and like Rick_James said, the Virtue gets my vote too. Once you get that, you should get HPA and a Halo or another hopper if you already don't have them. And if you want to get into customizing real quick like I do and get it over with...you could look into getting a new body for it. I would suggest Dark products because they have an undisputed lifetime warranty. ------------- Gear: Smart Parts Ion Tech T Bolt CCM Feedneck NDZ Roller Trigger CP Razor Drop Forward Virtue Board CP ASA On/Off Freak Kit 14" 360 QEV Shocker Regulator |

yah, get a ion instead of pm like i said, its $200, and you can make it better than a pm w/ $300 in ups ion +$300 in ups- better than - a promaster + $100 in ups but then theres the Defiant 2 for $410, IMO its better -------------
