Im currently wanting to upgrade to a better gun since im starting tournaments. I need a reliable gun and that is around 225$. This doesn't include a hpa tank or electronic hopper. Which ones would you recommend?  ------------- Your either woodsball or no balls...it's your choice! Choose Wisely... |

| Would an ion be good enough? But I think you'd have to spend a bit on upgrades. |

Yeah, but so are Imps. From what I understand, the Imps are technically better as for performance and quality, but the Ions are not far behind. Plus they are lower prfile and a lot lighter. Plus, they are more upgradable. But, I'm not too sure, so whatever. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

there's a new rampage board for the ion from APE, looks great. I prefer the ion out of the two, but i don't like either. If you had more money i'd say up a 98, but maybe you can find a used one with an e-bolt, or lpk and e-grip etc. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |
