So this isin't a trade? If youhave an A5 allready, and are looking to upgrade from that, I would spend a bit more for a more high end gun. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

^Dont be jealous because you dont own a cocker...if that's all you have to throw, then dang...that's weak. As for the gun, if you want a faster and more versatile gun, go for the Ion. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

Mainly speed or woods? What do you want out of your gun? Ion has the speed, weight, (better)efficiency, etc. -------------

Buy the all american for your gun and a reg. Ta da! Just as accurate as an Ion. Well, Ions are LP but still... Your dad owns a proshop, just take something! -------------

If your dad owns the store, take a demo ion off the wall,(if its that type of setup), and use it, see if you like it, then clean it really well, and put it back. Nice and simple. -------------

Tippmann A-5 is great for Woods ball. If you have it more then 280FPS then you will get what you were talking about. If anything you can just get a better barrel and what not. Stick with the A-5 I say.

| I'd say stick with the A-5 for woodsball, but get the Ion for speedball. I'm sure you would miss you A-5 if you got rid of it. |

I'd have to add my 2 pence worth for the A5. I've got an A5 and bought an Ion. used it once and sold.
Keep the A5, get a flatline, adda response trigger/e grip and you get firepower and range/accuracy. ------------- "we ride together, We die together, Bad boys for Life" |
