If i ever get a speedball gun I was wondering which one for under 350... Here are some things i have thought of: Proto SLG
Dangerous Power G3 (or Dangerous Power G3 SE)
Spyder Electra 08
Smart Parts Ion (or Redz Ion)
Invert Mini
Smart Parts Epiphany
Those are just some things I was thinking of, so give me your opinions about some of those guns or more recommendations for a different type of speedball gun. Thanks!

DP has great products and service. I love, love, love my F8.
I've shot my friends Mini quite a bit, and I'm a fan for sure, but it wouldn't bump the F8. -------------

Mini not lasting long is a rumour, I know people who have used them excesivly and not seen any decrease in performance.
I like the mini, but I prefer a normal 45 grip. THe G3 is a really fun gun to use, I think its a bit lighter than the mini, I really had fun using it. A lot of people like fusions, I for one wouldnt touch them. Ive shot them, they feel really big, doesnt feel very smooth or nice to shoot, didnt perform to my standards. SLg is pretty nice but I see a lot of people having problems with them, one of those, know what your doing or dont screw with it type of things. I dont like sp, dont really like the luxe either.... ------------- its easy to be famous, just set yourself on fire |

I don't own a Mini, but if I was going to consider buying it, would I trust posts on a website devoted to Ions where 4-5 people have issues? Or a non-biased website where 273 reviewers averaged 9.2/10 points?

good point, i dont have anything against minis, just a few of my friends(not on the fourm) have had their minis break before. but it still looks like a great gun to me. +lots of people on ionowners own more than just ions

The F8 is pretty much the same height as the G3.... They operate almost the same as a Cyborg and Legend too. They are a design for Efficiency and ease, not smoothness like the G3 and other spools. And no, dont compare your droid to any of these guns, theres no comparison. -------------

thanks, i doubt i would get mini though because it does have a consistency to break but otherwise is good gun, the SLG was a pretty good price, can anyone tell me anything about the SLG ------------- You pop your head up and you see a paintball flying through the air and SPLAT! YOUR OUT! |

DM9 or Ego9, your choice. But really, I'd say DP, SLG, or Mini. I'd prefer the DP. -------------

a simple review search, or going to Dye/Protos website and looking up the SLG is not very hard to do. but they are a mix of a spool valve and mag valve. very reliable. light weight. very low operating pressure 145psi which means more shots from an air tank. very simple. wired eyes, NOT ribbons which suck. on upgrade out of box needed is a better barrel and maybe a feedneck for the older ones. assuming the electronics dont mess up, the ONLY thing you should ever have to do for maintenance is lube and replace the orings of the bolt as necessary. ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

Spend $500, get an Etek2, add a zick kit, and a Star Frams later on, you practically have an 08 Ego! Even stock the Etek2 is nasty accurate

then you practically still have an Etek2, with the amount of money put into it that could have been used to buy an Ego8. and anything is 'nasty accurate' with the right barrel and barrel:paint match. and if you had read the post, he said for under $350. $500 =/= < $350. AND i dont think you are qualified to be giving advice based on what you said ------------- Xbl:PhantomReign97

and whats the difference between the Dangerous Power G3 and the Dangerous Power G3 SE? ------------- You pop your head up and you see a paintball flying through the air and SPLAT! YOUR OUT! |

I haven't checked but based on previous DP base models and DP Special Editions, I say the difference is the feedneck, trigger, and board, maybe a different barrel. Usually nothing major. But I'm sure you can just check their site and see for yourself. -------------
