    i don't think that i'll go with the wrath because i can't test it out at any of the fields around here which i can with all the other guns. so right now it looks like either an ICD gun, E-mag or Ion. Omens are also kind of hard to find where i live to. keep the Advice coming guys, its really helpful. Also if anyone is looking to trade one of these guns for my mag plus cash then please PM me.

      i also suggest a b2k, i currently own an older model b2k, and it has twin palmer hp/lp regs on it now, and a barrel kit. The gun is amazing, even tho its a 4 year old model that has been heavily used during that time ...

      GO ICD !!!!

      (i'm actually selling my older bushy to get a new b2k5+a few upgrades, b2k5s are frikkin amazing deals at only 450 dollars)

          ok well i decided that instead of buying a new gun outright, i'm going to try to trade my gun (and maybe some cash) for one of the ones i want. Then i'll use the rest of the money to play more often. since it will be near impossible to trade my gun and some cash for an e-mag, and i decided that i don't want to spend time tuning an omen... I've narrowed my choices down to an Ion or a B2K. however i was wondering if anyone here knows if the Angel LCD's are very good, because theres a chance i might be able to trade for one.
          let me know what you guys think.

            I vote freestyle. you might be able to get one for 400 it you dont mind filling your tank every few games. A non-he gen 1 freestyle is preety cheap. Get a gen 2 if you can though.

              emag

              If you get a used emag BE VERY CAREFUL. I did and there were more problems than what the guy said there was. AND HE WONT PAY FOR IT or help me pay for it. Just be careful if you go for used pb guns.

                      right now i'm probbly going to go with an older angel or an ION because it seems to be easier to find people looking to trade them for mags

                        I say Ion. Ive got one that I will let you shoot some today if you go to the factory. They really do shoot great. Almost everyone on AO is going to say against the ION, but they say that for the lawsuit reason and the fact that they hate SP. It is a great gun for the price. And w/ the trigger setup properly, you will be glad you got one. Ill bring mine to the field today and you can use it.

                            k cool. Ill let ya use the ion some. You can see how you like it.

                            Mine has a QEV, stiffi, and CP trigger though. A stock one will not be the same, but those parts are not that expensive other than the stiffi. You can go a bit cheaper like a CP one piece though.

                            Cya there.

                                Here are my opinions...

                                I very much preferred my Piranha Evo over my Angel LCD when I had them. Eyes are the way to go.

                                B2k4s with PDS are an excellent option, and they are cheap. Trouble is that the detents aren't the best for Halos, but I don't really like playing with a Halo because it throws my marker off balance. I would skip any BKOs.

                                I don't particularly like the Ions design. If you chop it will be a pain in the *** to clean out correctly. It's made with too many cheapy parts to feel truly comfortable with. Skip the Wwrath too, there's plenty of other stuff that have years of history and loads of aftermarket parts.

                                Every marker has it's ups and downs, but for me the Classic Intimidator covers the majority of what I want...

                                Eyes
                                Inexpensive
                                Smooth shooting
                                Tons of aftermarket stuff
                                Flexibility with parts - You can easily go from Classic to Alias style for a lot less than those go for used. You could have a $250 gun all the way to a $600 gun by buying and selling differant parts.
                                Good efficiency
                                Runs on CO2 if you need it (You'd still want to take as many precautions as possible, it doesn't take Co2 like a Tippmann)
                                Simple design

                                The only real problems are the high maintenance. You can't just run oil through it and call it a day. However, the maintenance is really easy work. Not everyone likes the longish feel, the Alias style frames fix that but those go for around $170 which brings the Classic out of the cheap area.

                                Omens are nice until you have to set them up. Too much of a pain and there are too many other options out there to want to deal with it.

                                Matrix's are nice, but they're not my thing. A Matrix with eyes is out of your price range.

                                Eblades are another excellent option and you can also find them cheap. If it wasn't for the Intimidator I'd have an Eblade again. If you don't like the Timmys longish feel and you want to keep the price low I'd recommend a stock bodied Eblade. I paid $370 for one that came with all aftermarket parts and a barrel I didn't need that I was able to sell for $50.

                                Impulses are another option, but I'd take an Eblade 'cocker or a Timmy over any Impulse any day of the week.

                                Tribals are really cool and unique, you can find those for around $200 almost stock and you can have eyes installed. It's the same design as the Impy or Bushy, but has a coolness factor you can't get with those.


                                Again these are my opinions, but I think it's pretty accurate
