Why do you listen to your friend so much? Sounds like he's a bit of a tool.

Plus, how much paintball are you going to be playing that your A5 won't be able to keep up? Do you honestly need it, or are you just getting a new one for the sake of it.

[overkill8000]

to be honest im kinda a newb i have only been playin almost a year and he been playin 5 years so i figure he nows what hes takin about.......

[overkill8000]

i mean him and another freind got me into it and help a lot. well he was busy when i went to buy it, and i was goin to get an outcast, and the store didnt have any and me not nowin much listen to the store manager. who only nows about tippmanns and got an a-5

i no a lot of ands sorry

[master_alexander]

do you hhave a hopper or tank?

sounds to me like you would do well with an ion... or the wrath...

or if you can get an emag, or just a mag...

or a bko with a z grip :)

was that a question or a poem .........

[gc82000]

man there are a lot of deals you could find for 500. have you looked in the B/S/T part oof this forum or you could go on ebay to find a good deal. Good luck in your search and hope you get a good mag. :rolleyes:

[overkill8000]

i wish i could get a good mag i was thinking a tac one, not for scenario but speed ball i like the look but then i would have to save up for a electro grip.

[ojhspyro89]

:tard: Buy a b2k4 w/ PDS. They are very fast and reliable. Also i think u can get them NEW for that price if not lower. They can cycle at 36 cps, they shoot very fast too. Im an icd owner so what do u expect lol. Or wait for the b2k5 its supposed to be something special..... :tard:

[stop whining buy a mag]

I'd have to disagree with any ICD product. I won a B2K4 and it was a POS. Wiring was messed up out of the box and the eyes didn't work right. After talking to the ICD tech I sent it in and had it back to me in 2 weeks. Not terrible turnaround time but could have been a little faster. I told him specifically to fix the eyes. He sends it back with 2 seals replaced and nothing else touched. So I send it back in again and it finally gets fixed. I didn't like the feel of it and it didn't shoot any better than my E-mag or Shocker so it went to Ebay. A regular at my local field had one without PDS. It chopped CONSTANTLY. He finally has it tamed now but that's after hours on the phone with ICD and a new reg+using an adjustable tank. The Matrix he picked up for 400 bucks three weeks later outperforms it in every way.

I'd also stay away from Angels. I haven't owned any of the latest models but I had an IR3, LCD and LED. The first two were total crap. Too hard to maintain and isn't very user friendly. The LED was ok since it was very simple but didn't have eyes and was very bulky.

I'd still say go with an Ion or buy a Mag. I thought about building myself a Vert-Frame, ULT, X-Valved Mag and it would only have costed me $450.

[WARPED1]

Every gun ICD has made(I've owned them all except a Freestyle), has been a POS and never worked out of the box. I shot nearly a case and a half of paint after the tourney with my frsh out of box Ion, and EVERYTHING worked flawlessly(except for my fingers for the first 100 rounds)

[BD_Paintball]

ion! that gun is the best gun on the matket for what it costs. you just cant go wrong there

[WARPED1]

Yes, true.

Yes i am a tool.and hes not just listening to me i do believe he wants a new gun.I dont see anything wrong with using an A-5, would I? No
Reason i have been trying to talk him into getting a diffrent gun is because we are trying to start a team & play some rookie events in the CFOA. Im sure a tippman can hold its own,with a lot of extra money put into it.Instead you could save some money get a lighter/faster more compact gun for prolly cheeper then the sup'd up A-5.

If he wants to keep it that's fine its not my decision,but like i said i do believe he wants a different gun.
Appearently it wasnt the gun he wanted from the start since he went to get a different gun but got talked into the A-5.

[frop]

well, you are on automags.org.....AUTOMAGS.org..... i say use the 400 to build your own mag...i think you will be much a happier :)

:sigh:

Expand your horizons, man. That being said, I love my mag :ninja:

[ICP]

If you were originally looking for an outcast, then you could find a used E-cocker for around 500. The wrath seems like a decent gun, I used to have a T1 (the wraths predecessor) and it was a nice, fast shooting marker with ACE. hmmm, if your into tinkering, you could pick up a mag and spyder mag it. You could put together a nice one for $500. Good luck.

[gortman44]

Ion, no way. Now that is a POS.

ICD. As long as you know how to operate and tune it right and know the gun. You will be fine. As with any gun even the ion.

I hate to say this but you can get a e bladed cocker for around there. but be carefull becasue the are loosing it ins paintball

[AnimalMother]

Two members of my team use the Action Markers Diadem. IF you know where to look, you can get them for about $480, good high-end relatively inexpensive markers. They also have break-beam eyes.

[Teamslayer76]

I would say easily the best deal in Paintball besides the automag/s are Bushmasters right now.

ON www.paintballgear.com or anywhere else

Bushmaster b2k4 w/pds - $299 Was $500
Bushmaster B2k2 wo/pds - $279 Was $400
Bushmaster BKO about $199-220 Was $270

Best deals in paintball.

Don't get the Ion no matter what anyone says. Its all completly plastic. Its lke paying 300 bucks for a Brass eagle.

Hey CKY,

I didn't mean to say that you were a tool. You've gotta admit, though - from the past three or four threads that overkill8000 has started, he hasn't really provided too much information...instead typing:

"my friends make fun of my A5, what should I buy?"
or
"my friends are riding my case because I shoot an A5"

etc. etc.

So, from what he has typed, it did sort of seem...toolish. With more information, it seems not to be the case. :)

[WARPED1]

Ion, no way. Now that is a POS.

You are nucking futs. Ion is simply the best gun for the money. Is it the best gun ever? Well, no. There are better guns made. Like ICD? Hell no!

I would say easily the best deal in Paintball besides the automag/s are Bushmasters right now.

ON www.paintballgear.com or anywhere else

Bushmaster b2k4 w/pds - $299 Was $500
Bushmaster B2k2 wo/pds - $279 Was $400

The only plastic parts are the interchangeable body shells and the trigger. I know, I own one. Where are you getting your info? AO? The place where the majority of asses still hold a grudge because they're pissed at SP? Go out to the real world chief. That statement makes you reeeeeaaal stupid. Bunghole pirate...........

[ultralight]

go to a field and test out every marker that they will let you get a hold of.

then pick which one you like the most and try to find it for sale in the classified forum.

my personal pics would be:

mechanical: build a mag (c'mon folks, you knew that was coming.)

electro: look into the ion, wrath, diadem, ICD markers, and e/xmags.

just remember that you can always find a better deal used than new. markers are like cars, they depreciate in value very quickly as newer markers come to market.

browse through the classifieds, you might be surprised.

[LudavicoSoldier]

Wheres a thought: Bash your friend with the A5, physically! It's a Tippy; it'll stand up the the abuse!

[UTDragun]

dragun t1 "the one"
used 03 shocker
used timmy
b2k4 pds
used emag
wrath
used matrix (diablo, nyx, tmc, dm3)
used 04 freestyle
new aim timmy w/ integrated qev
e2 cocker
or
egrip w/ double trigger


imo, dont get ion, older than 05 speed angel, older than b2k4, stuff without eyes, bko, anything less than t1 from dragun, spyder, spyder clones, mag without xvalve, mechanical cocker(unless e2ing it)

[peewee]

Get a ULE or tac one :shooting: i agree that the ion is a good marker for the $ thus far but Without a doubt the most durable problem free marker is the mag. Check with tuna about a tac one he has been moving them pretty low.

[phelix]

The number of people who don't do their research and still think the ion is plastic is bringing AO closer and closer to PBN in my eyes.

[SpecialBlend2786]

well, I say get a used angel.

[JKR]

I say keep the A-5. Playing in rookie events shouldn't require anything special to be competitive, maybe a barrel. Heck, with today's postage stamp-sized fields, a new barrel might not even be necessary. Just try it in a few events. I think your buddy is trying to talk you out of an A-5 because it isn't flashy enough! :)

Justin

[peewee]

its funny the single trigger for the mag has always been called plastic also. I dont worry about it. I like mine almost as much as my mags..

Yea he's got a nice J&J ceramic, its prolly like 14 inches somwhere round there.

And no im not tryin to talk him out b/c its not "flashy enough" i shoot an SS bodied single trigger mag.... enough said.~~not very FLASHY

Another reason i dont THINK he can use the A-5 in tournaments is becasue it's and RT..unless the r/t can be turned down so its legal...iono much about tippys..cept they are durable and reliable.

[Automaggot68]

Go for an ION.

[SIGSays]

ion

[quik]

Upgrading is selling out?

Jeez I sold out a long time ago.

[gc82000]

getting a new gun is not selling out, it is changing the needs of your game. and getting something smaller, lighter faster is better for Speedball then it is for rec or woodsball.

[CKY_Alliance]

I dont think he meant selling out as in your fav under ground "punk" band becomes the flavor of the week type sell out (not really sellign out ~~to most it is...)
I think he meant selling out as in he's selling his stuff.

[AGD202]

ULE Mag w/ ULT Trigger... cant beat them for 400

[magman#1]

i have an angel lcd and i like it a lot.
