    both guns will shoot as good as anything. ION will of course be faster. I just depends on which one you think you'll like more. I don't know why people put up these kind of threads, if you want a lower price gun get the ion....if you just really like the tac one and don't mind spending the $ get it.

      Don't forget the rain

      If you play scenarios or "big games", being all mechanical is a BIG PLUS. A big game we played at recently was a 26 hour long game, and it rained for about 1/2 of the time. My wifes electro lasted 10 minutes before it got wet and refused to function correctly. Fortunately, one of our teammates had a mech marker that she could borrow. If you may be playing in rain, all mechanical is a plus.

        I've decided to buy the Paradigm and will likely order tonight or tomorrow, after Rogue responds to questions in a PM.

        My last question for now what hopper would be recommended for a heavy woodsballer? I was thinking of going with a Ricochet Apache (where is a good place to buy one), what feedrate should I aim for. Is the hopper overkill or just right, also I'm trying to go for the lightest setup possible.

          Ricochete will work great ( that's what I use & I love it). Good to hear your coming into the mag family.

            Will a Ricochet 2k be enough for a Paradigm, or should I spring for a Apache. Also how's the Halo TSA Frontman LCD?

            Thanks for the welcome.

              Any hopper will cover you, thanks to Lvl 10! I had a RT ULE Custom setup. I posted it on PBN on Sunday, sold in like an hour... I'm shipping it out tomorrow ... But, guess what I got!!?? (You guys are going to kick me between the legs) An ION!!! Haha. I put the leftover $175 into some nice ups... It'll be here tomorrow or Thursday, I'll make you all (not) jealous with pics of it.

                well i would bould a rt mag.

                then if you want an ion get it later

                they go for about 250 on e-bay

                im tring to sell my mech mag i made for an ion and use the rest of the $$ for a classic mag or save up to get a sydarm

                but all on your tastes.

                if you like E guns get an ion

                if you like mags for their reliability and great shooting and all the good stuff get that

                really i would jest get both but jest build the mag first then buy an ion

                  Placed an order today for a Black Paradigm, ULT Trigger Kit, and SubZero Feedneck. Should be joining the family in a week or two.

                    888paintball.com has Ricochet AK's for about $34. I've never found them cheaper elsewhere.

                      i have a tac-one and it shoots great. the trigger pull is 15 ounces, u have to get the ule trigger pull kit to make it 15 ounces. also it not electro and shoots fast, and this is a reliable gun.it comes with alot of upgrades like the x valve, level 10 bolt,intellgent frame, and other stuff. i would go with that tac-one, and there is alot of other upgrades for it made by other companys.
