hey just wondering if anybody has had any experience with the EOS. i know some people don't think smart parts is any good, but i just wanted some expert opinion. ha sike! but seriously does anybody have pros and cons for it? p.s. i've read reviews for it and seen a decent bit about them but i would rather someone address me directly with what they think, thanks |

okay really guys.. haha this is not the place for this post. but would anyone give me advice on something else perhaps? i have a 98c pro-e w/ cyclone and an ion. now the 98 altogether after the ups was like $330ish and i got the ion with a eggy and a hpa tank for $200 dollars. but i don't want to have both, and would rather sell one for the money. and i am considering the EOS as you can see. but what should i do, try to sell one, the other, both? btw not trying to sell, just begging for some wisdom. |

Just dont listen to him... What do you like more? And why the EOS? You already have an Ion in your possesion. -------------

okay thanks for the input and i have decided against the EOS entirely. im thinking about the invert mini, but a friend said i would be better off getting a pmr rail instead but i don't know which way to go... |

Ever think about the Dangerous Power Fusion? I would pick that over the EOS/Ion/Mini/Rail. Fusions are getting harder to find new. The F8 is pretty much the newer generation of it, but some people prefer the Fusion over it. -------------

i like what i've found but i want to know what you think about, the 07 fusions compared to the F8's. oh and doess the g3 stack up to these? i found a package deal where a guy has a brand new fusion, never shot, with never used halo b w/ rip drive, and a steel hpa tank. all for 400. is it a no go or a decent deal? or should i just get a rail and put the metal parts on in replacement for the carbon parts and call it a day.. |

Ok, let me tell you about the Fusion. Its a mid end electro, very efficient
and low on maimtenence, lowered on price not to long ago because of the F8s. F8s are a bit smaller and lighter and does not have a lpr. The G3 is their new gun. It has average efficiency(spool). I'm not that familer with G3s, but they are nice. LE fusions were $260. LEs have lifetime warranties. DP is a great company, you can't go wrong with them. The fusion/f8 are comparable to Legends and Cyborgs. I hope that didnt sound stupid, I'm on my iPod and can't really correct it. -------------

I went to a proshop 2 days ago and held them and kind of played around with them in my hands and i don't think i like the fusion so much anymore, the G3 felt much better in my opinion. And when i went to play yesterday a few guys had fusions and invert minis. The fusion still only felt okay to me. It was considerably better b/c the owner had tweaked the trigger, but when i shot a mini i thought it was 10 times better feeling than a fusion. |

the ion and eos are almost the same, just the eos is a tad bit more high end.....few better parts and whatnot. ------------- Sig is WAY too big. |

That's what I've always used to determine which gun I've wanted. I just take whatever feels good to me. -------------

From what i've seen, and shot, the EOS is a really shiny ION. Pick your poison, I don't like either of 'em. ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

I've picked my poison and I got it in the mail today. A new DP Fusion. I read the manual and took some of it apart to inspect my new companion. I got an awesome deal; new fusion, new halo b w/ rip and warfeed, and new but 1 yr old smart parts tank = 410. Im really happy with it, thanks to everybody and MeanMan specifically i might get pics up of it and my tippy soon |

No its just a regular straight up. It does have the V2 board so its not the most basic. its red and i wasn't sure how i would like the red but after seeing it, i love it my best friend found a killer deal on some new LE's though and his is coming in tomorrow. He doesn't have a credit card so he paid me to buy it for him so of course its coming to me first. I thought about being sneaky and switching the RAPS on to mine but i couldn't do it to him. haha would be funny though. |
