i want a new gun but im indecisive!

ok so ive been wanting a new gun for a while. ive just been too poor due to other things ive needed to pay for. so far though, ive got 300 dollars for paintball, itll be 550 by friday though cause i get paid. should i join the ion cult? but ive been thinking of just saving more and more for a shocker. or maybe a paradigm automag. or a DM3 with lcd.but ive also been looking at the new black magic. anyone have any idea how much these things are gonna run or when their comign out or have any real information on them? the wgp website seems to not have put any work in to describing it or saying much about it. also, i want opinions on what i should choose. im sooo torn. like stated, by friday ill have 550, but then by 2 fridays from now ill have 800ish. so money isnt a huge issue, its just my indecisive mind that is. opinions are much appreciated

the new black magic autococker or the new superstock

i play woods and speed but im mainly looking for a speed gun i can play tourneys with. right now ive already got an a-5, so woods is covered, im just tired of having the cyclone sticking out to the side in speed, feels higher profile cause when i snap shoot, first thing to come around the bunker is the front of my barrel then the cyclone. no matter how close i tuck myself to the bunker, the cyclone still sticks out and i just dont want to worry soo much about that. plus im just losing faith in tippmann personally between the "new" custom pro and the WAS board. im probly jumping the gun for thinking the new board is gonna be crap, i just dont think tippmann will develop a better way for the cyclone to feed that fast. so im sure it will work for the 98 variations, just with the a-5 i think its a bit of a ripoff. ive already got money set aside for a hopper and tank, but i figure since i dont need a hopper just yet, ill buy that when i buy the gun. as for the tank, i cant get that until i figure out what kind of gun to get so as to either get high or low pressure cause i dont want to dish out the 300-400 dollars for an adjustable tank. thanks for the opinions, keep em comin

Most regs can hadle HPA. Only the WDP mini-reg can't handle HPA.

I would go with the DM3. Its a great gun. Fast. Can be very fast with a tadeo board.

The shocker needs tooooo much mateniace to work.

And, the mag will be too slow.

since my local shop doesnt have any kind of mag and doesnt have a dm3 and ive only used an automag classic a few times. any idea of weights? i play everything in speedball from front to back, so im mainly looking for something that is low profile, light, and can fling paint like a monster. im seriously considering the dm3's. i like the look and not every person in the world has them. its dye, so you know its not crappy and it cant take a beating, but it seems to be a bit bulky and clumsy. i played a few games with a shocker and i tried it again at my shop along with an ion. the person working at the time told me the ion was really crappy on the wiring. as far as the shocker needing alot of maintainence, do you mean mechanical maintanence or electrical. personally, im a moron when it comes to electrical. i know green is ground, white or gold is positive, and black or silver is negative. but nothing else. i am really torn right now, and im not really looking to spend over a thousand dollars on a gun, cause regardless it still needs certain ups. i probably should have told you i play everything before. but im slow. i think for the time being im just gonna buy myself an HPA tank since it will work with whatever gun i get. im so torn right now, i made an effort to run around trying to shoot all the guns i was thinking of but wasnt quite able. anymore suggestions?

Get a classic timmy! If not that then eBay a nice gun, you an always find something good on there.

ive been trying to search for a while. i am open to suggestions, i just want to hear other peoples opinions too. ive shot and used a good number of guns before, i just really cant decide. im listening to what people say before i go way out of my way to try something. if i get bad opinions on something, im not gunna scour for people at my field to ask if i can try the gun. its not really a matter of not having found a gun im happy with, its a matter of finding too many. when i fired the shocker, i really liked it. but i also tried a dm4 and a proto. thats why im considering a dm3. i like the lcd and i like the styling. ive shot a classic mag a few years back and i liked how that felt to shoot. i like cockers cause of how smooth it feels shooting. theres just too much that im going for. and i want to just hear things before i decide.

I agree with Pro Carbine to upgrade an Ion.  You'll  like it but obviously get the high-end stuff you mentioned if you can.  Good luck
