Who owns a Bushy / Should I get one

[Gunsmoke]

Hey guys. I might be interested in geting a bushmaster. I was wondering well they perform. How good is their efficency and etc. Please post picks if u want im not sure what model to get if i get one. Thanks

I had a Shocktech Bushmaster one time. The thing rocked. They are kinda big though. I don't remember the efficency, but it wasn't anything bad.

I have a bko (not bushy but same company)

The regs are absolutly horrible until broken in. I was shooting 390 fps at first then it jumped down to 125 without adjustment. Eventually im going to have someone tune my gun so i dont have to worry about killing someone with a paintball.

If the trigger is anything like my bko its ok. Nothin special its real sloppy too. My adjustment screws like to move alot, to the point of the trigger stop making it impossible to shoot.

had an original bushmaster and b2k2 loved em both

quiet,accurate, fairly efficient(better than mag by far)

you can up the efficeny and fps cahnges a bit with a enw valve

theyr kinda big but nothing that cant be dealt with.(new oens have noid inside triggerfraem) :)

mine was pretty consistent although i kept the regs oiled etc

great guns for the price

only complaint is the wiring harness can be somewhat weak

and keep a spare noid/manifold seal around it WILL leak evnetually usualy after about a eyar or so(depdindign on play)

and not that its an issue but abtter life is pretty amazing(20k+ shots off 1 9 vlt )

I had a BKO, still have a Defiant.
Good price. Fast and lightweight.
Get a fast hopper though or you'll have a blender.
ICD also treated me well when I needed a new board.

Bushmasters by far are one of the best electropneumatic markers out there. Get the B2k5 when it comes out because it has the new grip frame and trigger and it has no tray.

Owned a B2K that I was quite impressed with.

I didn't find the size to be an issue. Its overall just about the same as an Impulse.It was very light. It didn't have too much kick and I don't remember it having FSDO. As long as you have the LPR set right it is great on air , and the battery was easy to get to.

The (older stock LCD) board in mine was really slow. Given that it didn't have eyes and I was using a Revi , it was probably a good thing. Once you broke a ball in the thing , might as well just walk off the field. The stock regs , esp the HPR need to be replaced right away. The stock barrel sux too but thats a given.

There are loads of upgrades available , and they are reasonably priced. I think the newer ones are cocker threaded so that makes barrels easier to find. I would highly suggest a Bushy. (not to be confused with a BKO)

there awsome but it has to have PDS.

Anyone know the price of the b2k5? Whats the operatining pressure of the bko's, b2k's etc.

i have a b2k3 w/ pds and love it. fast, pretty efficient and very reliable. consitency can be an issue until you tweak it.

i agree with the wiring harness being fragile, but thats my only beef.

they're nicely upgradeable. for boards, i reccomend a techpro personally.

the b2k5's will be about 500$ and i'm not sure if they are released yet. they have been basically turned into timmies though. noid is in the grip frame with hoses running to the ram instead of the air passage channel being drilled right in to the body. thats how they got rid of the tray, that and oversizing the gfrip frame to make room for the stuff that used to be in the tray.

imho look for a b2k3. the prices are coming down.

[Gunsmoke]

Whats a b2k3 running for with pds and without brand new and used. The b2k4 w/ pds are $495 brand new. I found out that the b2k5 wont be out till febuary or march.

Got a BKO, several friends with bushys. Bushys are an excellent value, best bang for the buck if going electro. Must have pds if your fast. Cause if you have a twitchy finger you will be "slingin slaw" all over the place. Customer service is solid. Looking at getting one myself. Just gotta sell off a few markers.
