try and get a second hand ion off here, you might need to increase your price a bit though (mine was 170 for everything) :p

cheers dudes

so tis definitely ions

nice one, was a little bit torn between ion and tippmann tbh lol :D

i have a tippmann A5 and SP8 (basically, an ion in a fancy case). sp8 is great, altho the tippmann has always been a good backup and has only ever had 1 game stopping problem.... whereas the SP8 has had 2 (and ive had the A5 longer)

so if you want something reliable, tippmann, everything else, ion

Depends if your playing woods or air or a mixture. Mech guns like the tippman are good for wood ball but can be a little noisy at times giving away your position if hiding. Ions are a very good basic gun that are easily up graded later to advance their preformance. Don't buy a toppman for air ball as they will tend to laugh at you.
