I was wondering if the 32 degrees Icon E is a good paintball gun. I am an intermediate, and i've had a tippman 98 for a while, and i don't really like it. i don't like the looks or the feel, and people i've talked to said that it's a great gun for beginner to intermediate players.

please tell me if the icon e is a good choice.

i don't want to spend a lot money right now , i'm in college , us poor college folk.

thanks,
andy

If your looking at buying an elector bloback, the black dragun is a much better choice for performance and value for money. If not that then get an electro spyder, they are surprisingly fast and also pretty reliable.

I would advise that you should hunt on the classifieds section on these boards and get an impulse or similar. They are massively better than any blowback, and very upgradable :)

A used B2k Bushmaster only goes for about $250, if that, and they're a fine choice for an intermediate marker. The BKO goes for even less. Plus the BKO is advertised as being compatible with Co2 (the B2k is not, but there's people who use Co2 on them, and even insist that it's better than air. Those people are the rare and chosen few who have been able to escape the bounds of reality in my opinion, but...). Either one of those would be vastly superior to a blowback. Impy's a good choice too.

I'd class the icon e as a beginner gun, myself- nothing wrong with it, but still a long way from competitive.

Like everyone says, look for a used gun. You will get much more for your money... if someone sticks around long enough to become "intermediate," they are usually on their way to being "in up to their neck." They sell the old intermediate marker as quick as they can and get into the really nice stuff.

cheap e spyders like the imagine are great for the money and in my opinion rival the value of the black dragun, i have a spyder have used e spyders and they are not bad at all

the imagin goes for bout 120-150 and they work grat with co2,

the e piranahs seem really nice and quick but they cost a bit more than a spyder
