My friend seems to think these are the best barrels money can buy and he just <poopy> all over my tippmann because he has this and an ION... WOOTIEDOO!... lol... He said that the 98s series are the worst pieces of crao and are really terrible unless upgraded with $500 bucks... I like, there not THAT bad... Jesus the kid acts like I got a brass Eagle...lol

Anyway...

He said he put over $1200 into his ION... I mean, I know IONs are better then most tippys cause of them being auto but come on, Are they really that great? I mean a lot of ppl hate them... heh

His specs are...
Some new board $140, some Elec Hopper $120, Bolt $55, Tactical Kit $85, Deadly wind Barrel $90, 2QEV $40, Cp Trigger $32 ION marker $240, Nitro Tank $100, 2 liter Reg $95, Longbow Stock $60, V-force Grills $90, all together is $1150...


Obv its impressive but do you REALLY need all that money into a marker? honestly... especially an Ion? I rahter just buy a Bob Long with that cash if I was gonna spend that much.

LOL @ putting 1200 dollars into an Ion.

Tell your friend that the tournament playing community laughs at him.

tippmanns are pretty low-end markers until you put some money into them. If ion's are so great, why did ur friend have to put 1200 bucks into his. This kid is a fool. $1200 dollars, are you kidding me, i could have an arsenal of mid to high end electro's for that.

How much you put into a marker comes down to personal preference. However 1200 into an ion is possibly the dumbest thing i've ever heard of. Did he spend 500 on a paintball bayonet by chance?

Really, the resale value on an Ion is crap.

WTH is this doing in T&O?

Tell your friend that there are several people with 98c's that could destroy Him in a game of paintball.

And if you put over 1K into a paintball gun, your a moron.

Mask, tank, and hopper don't add into value of gun. Therefore he didn't put $1150 into his gun.
Que pasa?

I'd rather have my stock 98c than His Ion any day.

My gun has never had a single problem (other than the cost to play with it) and was a relatively cheap buy.

A stock SLG could beat his Ion. I bet if you gave a decent player a brass eagle that your friend would loose, even with his "Ub3r 1337 Ion" any day.

Once we clued in on the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn't scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, all that matters is how you wanna go out, on your feet or your knees?
