Don't know if anyone has pointed this out......

but sports authority now carries intimidators, B2K4's, wraths, and some other pretty good markes. http://www.sportsauthority.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=1734336&cp=2057782.712507.1734325

Walmart carries wraths, Ions, and promasters- http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=paintball&search_constraint=4125&ics=20&ico=0&ref=+500000.500592

The sport is growing so more places are carrying paintball stuff.

i dont like the idea of people not going to pro shops or p-ball specific stores/sites for many reasons.

i wotn get itno them sicne theyrv been lsited many times in previous threads, but its very bad for the sport and growth of the sport long term wise(atleast for local business's)

and proshops cant stay open on fills alone

on a sidenot isnt this only online? and not actually in store products?

Walmart doesn't carry those guns in their stores, just online. I'm not sure about sports authority though. RL and alias timmys at sports authority lmao. $449 for blind b2k's-that's about what I spent on my mag!

Are they Really? My E.Mag In mech mode will do 26+ if you can feed it that fast. How fast is the ion really?

I believe the ion is rated for 17bps. I know EMags can hang with almost any gun out there, but let's be realistic, who is going to be able to move their fingers fast enough to sustain 17bps for any length of time, or faster? I haven't seen anyone that can do that....

Marker capability is but a small factor in my opinion, it is the marker's owner that makes all the difference in the world.....

I think it is GREAT. The more places people can get products the better. There will always be the “local paintball shop” if they are smart and offer what the customers want and need. I think there is a place for all sizes and types of businesses.

The Ion can sustain 15BPS. Can your fingers?

a n emag with current software, or an upgraded board can shoot over 20bps. the stock ion boar donly allows 17. Although i don't know about the new boards.

Oh and when i go to sports authority next week i'll check if they have any of the "high-ends" in stores

The new T-Board for the ion is uncapped and its pretty damn sweet. VPREPEATER made a vid of his ion doing 26 CPS, its pretty cool. Considering it was said that hoses and stuff would blow off and the noid couldnt handle anything over 26 cps its amazing actually.

Now that is a fast ion...Oh and just incase anyone was wondering, i have nothing against ION's. i had one for a little while and it was fun. They can be customized into amazing markers. I just find it a little frightening that they're selling them in chain sporting goods stores now.

I have no idea, but I hear an Automag is capable of in the high twenties if you can move you fingers that fast. Only problem is not many can. I dont really like IONs much, they are getting annoying. I will stick with my Automag I am soon to be getting.
