I got $300 to spend

Ok, so I just had my graduation party and got some money. What would be the best set up for $300? Keep in mind I got a Rocochet AK and only a 20 CO2 tank.

Huh, I guess you could get an Ion for $199. You could then get a PE 72/3k for about $65. That's under $300 and you already have a loader. I'm not suggesting mags because let's face it, a nice mag costs more than $300.

new hopper-
$40-$50 for a used egg w/z board

new tank-
$100 for a used fiber wrapped 68/3k tank

new gun-
used classic mag, $100, wouldn't need a new hopper at that point. Slow but reliable and consistent.
used mostly stock ion $150, new ion $200. I wouldn't get an ion though, they shoot well but I don't like them.
used blind gen-e matrix $200 This is what I would get. With a properly set lpr, the bolt will bounce right off paint like a level ten. It will be as fast as anything on the field and has almost no kick. The only weaknesses are its weight and having to clean and lube the bolt after every game. Hater sauce ftw.
Other good guns are classic timmys, promasters, bushys with pds, rt mags, electro cockers also have low resale, and some people like wraths.

Look around on the classifieds here and on pbnation. Resale is so low that I just bought an up'd 2k4 ecx timmy as a backup for $300
