Plus this 13cu in tank 
Quick background... I already have one Phantom (VSC, stock) that I use when I play woods, and it works great. I'm looking for a reliable, fairly affordable gun to use for speedball (with all the extras I want, the promaster would be about $440...close to the price of the phantom + tank). I've looked at a lot of upgraded Phantom's but this one pretty much takes the cake. I fell in love at first sight. If I got the Promaster I would get with it a 68ci 3k tank, stickies, and a New Desighnz drop. As I type this I'm slowly swaying towards the Phantom. ------------- u dont know what to do ur getting mottor boatted Men are from Magmar, women are from Venusaur. |

That Phantom is pretty awesome, but saying as you already have another Phantom, wouldn't you want something other than a pump? It really just depends on what you feel since they are two completely different options... -------------

id get the promaster because you already have a pump, or get that, trade off your other phantom for a promaster(if its worth that much, i dont know much about pumps) -------------

Well if you already have one Phantom, then go for the Promaster or a different pump (PPS). But if really want another Phantom, then go for it. -------------

Basically when you buy a Promaster the musts are ASA, feedneck and reg, some say the barrel too.
The hopper and tank are needed for almost all electros. -------------

Take what you would put on an Ion and put it on the Promaster. I only see a $50 difference. But if minus the price of QEVs and a new trigger you basically have the same price. -------------

Seeing as you already have a Phantom, I'd go with the ProMaster. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

first off, you dont need a new reg, they can be good if you adjust them, but other times yes, they are crap, they are hit or miss. second, you dont need a new feedneck with a promaster, they are nice, but if you go to the promaster gallery on pbnation, not everyone has a new feedneck like the ion people do triggers on promasters are good stock, unlike the ion then the ion really should run on HPA, your kinda cheating saying oh ion and palmers, really all you need to get is HPA and its the same price if you buy a used tank. Put a palmers on a promaster if you feel like it so really, get what you want, dont worry about prices, get them used if you can and save alot of money -------------
