Go with the Ion. You wont be dissappointed.

I don't really like the MR series. But ignoring that, I would still go with an Ion and tac body.

Spyders .. no.

An sp-8 is basically an ion in woodsball form, get that if you want woodsball.

i wouldn't get an sp8.  for the extra money, weight, and other crap, you only get sights.  if you're going to get an ion, just get the regular one.

what IS the difference between the MR1-2-3

also read that the after market barrels will not always fit right. and that is from the compainies that sells them.

I would go with the SP-8... but I like my 22bps A5. the SP8 only fires up to 17bps F/A. and it is a ION so you cant use co2.

Question: why cant you use Co2 in an ION?

MR1 is mech, MR2 is electric, no eyes, and the MR3 is electric with a redesigned body and eyes. It's kind of ugly, IMO...

also read that the after market barrels will not always fit right. and that is from the compainies that sells them.

The only thing keeping them from fitting is the body. So it is possible, I guess.

Yeah, with a stock board. I'll bet an Ion could out shoot that with the right board (like a T-board, Virtue, etc.)

Question: why cant you use Co2 in an ION?

You can, if and only if it's anti-siphoned, but you can't shoot too fast or you'll freeze it. Generally a bad idea though, so don't. In electropneumatics, if liquid CO2 gets into the gun, it will blow a solenoid.

Nitrogen + fast hopper = not the same price...

Well, the way I figure it is if he's looking into a Spyder, he doesn't have HPA. He might have a Revvy or so though.

This forum is actually starting to not hate spyders. I think Spyders have gotten a bad reputation because all the spyder knock-offs like icons and viewloader guns suck.

Anyway, I would get the MR2 over the MR3, and ions are more expensive because you need HPA.

So, IMO, MR2>ION when considering price. If price is not an issue then ion wins by far.
