Ion vs Cocker considering....

[uptown]

I am still sort of a beginner but definately want to play alot in the furture, but want to buy a gun now. For the foreseeable future i will be playing woodsball but hopefully moving towards tourneys etc, and the choice i have is either:

an autococker trilogy comp - (i'd use c02 with remote line)

or smart parts ion - i'd use HPA

im worried that if i buy the cocker, and later want to sell it, i'd get raped with it depreciating, but if i got the ion, it would probably be wasted on me playing woodsball and things.. what do you think?

For Christ's sake, DO NOT BUY a new Cocker!!! There...

Loads of s/h Cockers going cheap...I have an E2 that I would sell for £350...if not a new or secondhand Ion would be a good buy, you can also get Shockers fairly cheap now...there two on the classifides, ex Fat Ladoes Charms guns..says £600 each but £350 is more like it as they are nothing special...

Ion all the way.

You should get the Ion with a air system. The autococker trilogy is a nice marker I had a go with one last sunday but I just think if you are wanting to move from playing in the woods to playing on a teem you will need some thing with a bit more of a kick.
P.S. you will want to get a 4500psi air system as the Ion is a bit of a gas hog.

Why only the Trilogy Comp..? There are plenty of other cocker setups to choose from.

E1 Cocker with Zero B > Ion. No arguments.

As said above, buy second hand.

funny that...

im wanting to get a new marker...

and i was torn between the Smart Parts Ion & the WGP Autococker Trilogy Pro

i cant decide on the 2, i hear the ion has a lot going for it though..

Can anyone give me any advice and pros/cons of the 2 markers?

I love cockers but can be tricky to fiddle with if they go wrong. I currently have a very nice eclipse impulse for sale, reliable and fast and don't use too much gas

the ion is better than the autococker trilogy comp no question but if you can get an E1 cocker with zero b board second hand wich is better than an ion in my opinion.

for what you will pay for a new ion or Cocker - can get you an ExoX Eblade 2nd hand *hint hint

yeah but for now i mean, i will probly be using it for woodsball and its a MAYBE for going tourney / teams route.... i know the ION is a better gun etc but it's more expensive (both deals im buying second hand) and it might be wasted on me, (also a waste of money)...

see what i mean?

personally, i thought the Ion was cheaper than the trillogy comp (unless im thinking of the Pro..) or maybey because your buying second hand, the ions price is still high as its a new marker...

the price difference cant be that much, and if the ion is a better gun, then i would think that choice is clear...

(myself im starting to steer towards the Ion after doin a lil research..)
