Yet another "what should I get" question

[paint magnet]

My choices are a pf'd Minimag or a SP Impulse, w/o vision. I already have a Tippmann 98 to use as a backup, should the Impulse die or the Minimag get hit by a nuclear blast, so I wouldn't be SOL if my main gun dies. The store where I'm buying this will come down on the price if I buy a lot of stuff, so I'm keeping it under $600, but I might can get $730 worth of stuff. Here's the accessories I am going to get with each gun:
Minimag350)
Lapco Bigshot- 55
PB 6" d/f & an ASA- 55
32* Gas-thru foregrip- 15
Crossfire 51/3k stubby and WDP Lok Sok- 135
Dye Invision- 80
Redz Dimension 3/2- 30

Impulse500)
(Comes with SP Progressive barrel)
(Comes with maxflo reg& bottomline)
32* Gas-thru foregrip-15
Crossfire 51/3k stubby & WDP Lok Sok-135
Dye Invision-80
Redz Dimension 3/2-30
Dye Izon sight- 55

The only thing keeping me from a Minimag is their reputation for short stroking. Other than that, I like the size, durability, and weight. The only thing keeping me form an Impulse is that it is an electro and therefore not very durable. So, what do you suggest?

I would say the MM, but where are you getting those prices from? http://9375.adahost.com/prod_cat.asp?cat=7&manf=32
thats some good prices..
They dont short stroke if you are used to it..
Why get a minimag? It adds money on. I would stick with an automag, personally.. a shroud isnt worth 20+ bucks to me..

If it were me.. lol I'd sell your tipmann and get a minimag. LOL with a mag.. 99.999% of the time you can rest assured, that back-up will be collecting dust. If it has sentimental value, keep it.. hell maybe a friend could go play one day. (My sypder is now a loaner for people who don't have markers i.e girlfriend.. friends etc.) Its ultimately up to you. I don't like nor will I ever own an electric marker. You accidentally drop it in creek playing recball.. its dead. Besides... my mag takes showers with me when its dirty!

I hate all other electros with a passion, but for some reason, I like the Impulse. Anyway, I don't plan on dropping it in a creek, but if I took the gun apart and put teflon tape in all the spaces and put it back together, it should be reasonably water resistant, right? Oh, and can I get a Minimag straight from AGD with a 1 star AIR valve, or do I have to pay extra for stars I won't use?

So you hate e-mags with a passion?

[xmetal2001]

With those redz dimension packs you have listed you have to buy the belt seperate(another 30)

[paint magnet]

I don't hate the E-mag, because it has a manual mode and works when the battery dies.

[MagDog68]

Well with the 600 dollars you are going to spend, why not buy a used E-Mag?

just to let u know, the redz packs r $30, but u also have to buy a $30 belt

Go with the MiniMag. I personally love my mag, just dont get a Custom Prosucts drop foward and try to put a warp feed on it, it will never work, thats why I cant use my warp feed. The MiniMag has one of the coolest body designs, its compact. Which is important to a front player, like myself. Even though I dont have a minimag, I am gonna purchase one of the used black hopper right bodys for 50 dollars from the AGD online store.

The mag previals over any imppy.

I don't know of anyone who owns any kind of Mag, all the people where I live own Cockers or Angels more expensive than their cars, and I don't want to buy something used unless I can see it in person. Another reason is because If I get a $600 gun, I won't be able to buy a nitro tank or a new barrel for it.

[MrAirgunRT]

I would sell you my RT in my sig for 700. That way you have everything you need already. Except for a mask and pack.
*Edit* Except for the Foamie Bolt. I'll give you a stock one.

[paint magnet]

Um, how much w/o the tank and drop? Is the revvy pre BE?

[irbodden]

Try both because Impulses are totally sweet guns!!

Fast, smooth and accurate- The Impusle.

[MrAirgunRT]

600. PM me with your answer. *Edit* Forgot, yes pre BE.
