Dragun Bonez info?

[Ghetto]

A Friend of mine is looking for his first marker. He had pretty much decided on a RT ULE custom up until a few days ago. A guy that started working with him has a Dragun Bonez for sale. Included is a nitro duck tank, freak set and a evolution. All this for $250. I have yet to see the gun or gear included so I'm not sure on the condition(hes gonna bring it by tomorrow). I think for the price as long as the marker worked its worth buying. However I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with these markers or could point me towards a site where I could read up on them. I checked pbreview but most of the reviews seemed to be written by people that have never owned anything but a Dragun or thought that they were the best gun ever produced. I'm looking for a little more objectivity.

How informative.:cuss: Mags are great I own 2 but I'm not debating the uberness of any gun just looking for some info on the dragun bonez.

I think he ment that your friend would be better off going with the RT that he had decided on.

The bonez is capped at 12 bps I believe. Nothing really that fancy.

I think he'd be better off going for a new 04 Spyder Imagine or even a new eforce piranha, and getting a used nitro tank or whatever off the classifieds.

They aren't anythign special. Go with a spyder or pirahna.

Please go with a mag or cocker, stay away from the blowbacks.

You could get all that for the barrel/tank/etc. and sell the marker itself on Ebay. Throw in an old mask and co2 tank and you have yourself a nice "package" for someone. What are the specs on the tank? And forgive me for my ignorance- what threading do Dragun barrels use? I would guess spyder, but I dunno. Again you could get rid of the back on Ebay and buy one for use in a mag if you wanted to.

I believe they use spyder barrels

Its a decent deal depending on which bonez he has. Whats the spec on the tank. If this guy is a beginner then its a decent deal for entry level. The only issue that I have heard of with some is blowback causeing chops. My friend had one for about 3 months before he bought a bushy. functioned without a hitch. But he had me playing tech.

I'm not sure of the specs on the tank. He supposed to bring it by tomorrow. He said its a 68/4500 aluminum tank. So I'm thinking maybe its a tuff skin ( which i know isn't aluminum but has a metalish look I suppose) or he was misinformed and its a 3k. Anyway after I get to see the gear I'll post some more detailed info. He's been playing for a year or so. I have so many guns its no big deal to let him borrow one of my setups. He usually shoots one of my mags or my shocker. I kinda think he's trying to "sell" himself on this gun because of the other gear included. He wanted to get a freak and nitro eventually anyway. Buying this package he gets everything he had planned to buy for less than he wanted to spend on just a marker. Up until this point he's looked at mags, cockers and shockers. I told him IMO a mag was the best choice. But if the bonez floats his boat that's cool. I just don't want him to be stuck with a POS. Thanks for the replies thus far.

Aluminum tank? That's weird. The only metal ones I've ever heard of were steel. Are you sure they even exist?

I had an old PE 48 cu in the closet so I dug it out. It says aluminum on the bottle. As does there web site heres a quote "48cu aluminum bottle, Consistent Flow Technology piston, Mil-spec Belleville springs, dual safety rupture plugs for both bottle and downstream safety, mechanical gauge, nickel plated brass bonnet, certified fill nipple and dual locking set screws."

Wow. Learn something new every day! :D

Heh, when I first picked the tank up I thought there is no way this is aluminum, its heavier than my old crossfire 114 I use on my shocker( but its carbon fiber). 114 tank and the old skool shocker, now theres a front players gun ;)
