Ahh but when you get bored of woodsball and want the adrenaline rush of speedball then you'll need to upgrade - Best to be futureproof ;)

Ions are very cheap and very good for either woodsball OR speedball. Providing you've got everything done up correctly, Ion's don't have looseable parts either...or no more than any other :p

I can do you an ion with ups for about £170, which will save buying one cheaper then paying a lot to upgrade it in future. Pm me

Ions run on CO2 but an anti-siphon is HIGHLY recommended to prevent liquid CO2 flowing into the gun and freezing the innards (imagine that). However over a long period of time it will degrade the gun moreso than air and with everyone going over to air its advisable to follow suit ;)

CO2 also does not shoot as consistantly (in velocity terms) as air. Get an air tank - Will save ya in the long run.

ive got a scuba, but he's a bit reluctant to use it, as its somewhat unaccessible to him, if ions run fine on co2 (consistantly) then ill suggest it to him, as he was looking at one anyway. but £150's a lot of money to some people, i dont want to get this wrong. also if i get an ion i have to get a hopper... which makes things somewhat more expensive
