| Ok Ive been playing paintball for about a year and now I think i want to try to get into speedball maybe, but either way i want to upgrade from my 98 to an electonic gun but I dont know to much about them and I have 2 that im trying to choose from. Im trying to decide between an Ion or a 07 Proto Rail. The price diffrence dosnt matter really so just want to know what you guys would do if you were in my position and why so I can make a descision. Any info is much appreciated.Thanks. |

Look into the DP Fusion, or the Mini. But I would suggest you wait, many markers will be dropping in price this season. So just hold out and you can get some really good deals. -------------

Also check out the LaSoya Pro-Master and the WGP Super-Stock, both have hit rock-bottom prices (you can pick them up for less than a '98) and are great markers for the price.
Very important question for you, do you already have HPA? I personally stay away from Smart Parts, but that's just me. Other people love the Ion. As for the PMR, it's a nice spooler, I've liked what I've seen, but the lack of an lpr means more ability to chop and jam. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Almost everything other than a WDP Angel series marker will be fine running a high-pressure-output tank. (There is no such thing as low-pressure air, only HPA with either a high-output or low-output regulator on the tank) The PMR is certainly fine running on a HPO-HPA tank as it doesn't use a LPR. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Well, are you willing to buy used? To me, for around $300, theres only 2 choices. Dangerous Power Fusion, and an '06 Intimidator. -------------

Ions are a great way to go , but I was one of those who HAD to have an Ion for my next gun. And I did and was glad I made that decision. But the LaSoya Promaster is really what I would recommend. I want 1 less person in the world to have an Ion. You can be the special kid on the block that a promaster while everyone else has an Ion. So i don't really need to explain anything now. tallen has already taken care of that for me. lol -------------

For under $300 dollars he can find just about every model of free style. Also you can find WDP A1's for around $600. That is if you don't mind buying used. If you want a new marker, I suggest the promaster, the mini, or the fusion. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |
