04' B2k - Anything better?...

[XbeasleyX]

Seriously, I am in the market for a new gun and have picked the B2k as my #1. But is there anything better in the B2k's price range?

[personman]

I would say that the '04 B2K is the best choice, especially if you get PDS with it.
If you wanna go mechanical there is always the RT Pro, which I would take over the B2K, but I'm guessing you would want an electronic gun.

[XbeasleyX]

Sadly im a fan of good looking guns, and no offence but it would take a good $800 to get what I consider a good looking RTP.

[Mister Sinister]

Not trying to be a smart aleck but what is "better"? :D There are alot of markers in the price range that are very good. There is the Evil Omen, various Cockers. If you go used you can even get IR3's and Speeds in that price range. It all really comes down to personal preference. What you like, what feels good in your hands. But there is nothing wrong with the B2K's if thats what you like go for it! :headbang:

I think bko is better than a b2k....

[tony3]

Was'd impulses are very good guns in this range also.

I think bko is better than a b2k....


Why do you think that?

The b2k will cycle faster and comes with pds, that seems to me that would make the b2k better! :)

Not that there's anything wrong with bko's. They're awesome little guns for the price, but you do get some extras when upgrading to the b2k. :dance:

I have a b2k3 with pds and i love it. It is the most comfortable gun i have ever owned. Its fast accurate consistant, and it has an amazing eye system. I would deffinatly get it. The only thing that i would suggest would be getting a new reg. Stock one is a tad inconsistant. I love the way mine reacted when i put the cp reg on it. Amazing gun, good price, Fast. Everything that you would want in a lower end eletronic gun. :shooting:

[jesseyo13]

If you are looking for a pretty gun, you cant go wrong with the ir3 fly! Just as fast, or faster than bushies

[TheTramp]

A classic Timmy with an Entropy board would also be around the same price with more performance IMHO.

[RtDaNiMaL]

go with a used viking, ver nice, easy to maintain, and maby good looking for your standards. :clap:

[RainTreeBoy]

Get the B2k4 w/ PDS, throw on a chaos board, and you'll be ready to rip.

[XbeasleyX]

Any clue where they have the PDS version in stock, ive been browsing 2 months or so and havent found any so I decided to content myself with the standard.

stock BKO cycles at 18bps, do you need to go any faster?

BKO for 290, 30 for a blind bolt so for about 320 bucks you get an incrdible paint slinging machine, but if you feel the need to spend an extra 200 for eyes and a 4 way 'noid then be my guest.


Used viking would also be tight

stock B2K's with PDS go for just over $500 NEW. If anyone can tell me where to get a NEW IR3, Speed, Was'd Vision Impulse or Timmy for that I'd appreciate it. I don't think those markers qualify for "in that price range". Yeah, you MIGHT be able to pick one up used (WELL used in most cases) but now you have a marker someone else didn't think enough of to keep.

gtrsi - I have both a BKO and a B2k3...no comparison. As Goldie says...it's a great little marker for the money, but the full Bushy is definitely a better product. The eyes alone are worth the extra $$, not to mention higher cycling rate and better lpr. I might not hit 18bps consistently, but I do get the odd missed pull on my BKO.

[dcmander]

Goldie probably has some . :)

[jesseyo13]

Heres some good ir3s, I would go for the ir3 over the bushy, I like the feel better. You may want to go for the angel lcd, then get a jam bolt so it will not chop(it will cost about 150 less than an ir3, or get it aced). Heres some good deals for ya. DONT GET AN IR3 with cops 1. Cops 2 blows 1 out of the water. If they say it has mem 3a or lower it has cops 1, anything over and including mem 3b has cops 2.

Heres one for 400$, at that price you can have it aced for another 250$:

Dont buy an ICD gun. MY friend had a new venom bushy 04' and it had problems all over the place. All i ahve to say is E-Mag for the same price, little-no chops and high rate of fire (not to mention the ability to switch to manual)

[XbeasleyX]

Eh-Hem, a *new* emag for ~ $500 ? Thats something I'd like to see.

[SanDiegoMag]

Who said new? All I say is not ICD, my friend has had somany problems with it.

[XbeasleyX]

Still be hard pressed to find a used E-mag in decent condition in the $4-500 range.

[Big_Mac]

Did your 'friend' tinker or mess with it...take it apart and put it together wrong...read the manual? I help 'kids' all the time with their supposedly troublesome Bushies and BKO's...most of the time it's user error. ICD also has great support...did he do anything other than complain that it didn't work? Most field 'techs' don't know diddly about Bushies. I wouldn't let most of them touch a Talon. Even the certified Angel tech at my local PB store is dumping his personal IR3 (for a Timmy). All in all for $500 there probably isn't a better marker out there (my opinion anyway). I do like RT pros and ANS GX 4 if you care to go manual....and they are in the same price range.

I do find it humorous how many people have a 'friend' or have 'heard' that marker X is terrible.
