i want some opinions on a choice for a first marker please people?!

ideally i dont wanna be spending too much obviosly so looking for second hand gear!!
my only real criteria as such is that its on air!
i've played with an impulse a few times and have to say i loved it!!
what do people think of this compared to, a pirahna evo? or an evil pimp or similar?

if anyones got an immpy for sale feel free to let me know!!

The impulse is a bt old these days, but still nice.

Consider an ion. Cheap, small, light, loads of upgrades available for however far u wanna take it, and so simple to strip. I taught my ex girlfriend to strip mine and clean it.

You playing tourney ball or woods? IONs are good but only if your not a muppet (this is not directed at you mate ;)) but alot of people by them and don't learn how to basic tech the gun or take it apart and can't put it back together or do it wrong etc . . .

I would head towards to promaster and ask the tigers very nicely for a reflash of the board as a promaster comes as a much better package than the ION. Personal pref on an ION is that it needs a new trigger, oops, feedneck and a better barrel (CP).

Hi dude,

I'd go for an angel, mainly cuz of,

1) You can pick up an 05 Speed for around £200

2) You won't need to upgrade anything to make it rip

3) They are very low maintenance

4) It'll keep up with the Ego's, DM's n whatnot

and 5) It's way better than an Impulse, Evo and Pimp:D
