    Wait a few weeks and they will probably go down. OR save some cash and pick up a used b2k4 with chaos and PDS. The only thing with the new one is that its got milling and no tray.

    I mean if ya need a new gun, heck ya, those things are pretty nice.

      $390? Nice, I'll see how much I can get them for.

        Ojh, the b2k5 comes with PDS already, and I'm pretty sure it has a board at least as good as the chaos. (I remember reading this thing somewhere that made a big point about the board in the new b2k5s ... I think it has PSP, NPPL, and NXL ramping and stuff on it already, and the guns been tested cycling at 40 bps, so its plenty fast...)

          The gun looks, sounds, and seems really cool. I would buy it, but i have way to many guns right now. ICD makes really nice reliable guns.

            One of the surprsing things is the weight of it. Manike said it weighed less than a Ripper 2.
            I'm thinking about getting one. But then I look at the Cyborg and...../drool

              Does anyone here remember the original Line SI Promaster? I owned one in 1992, and think it is an unfortunate name choice. If you remembers the old Promasters, you'll know why I say that. However, I think the gun looks very promising. I just picked up a B2K3.5 with Chaos board, so I won't be buying one anytime soon, but maybe a used one in a year or so if they are much more problem free than the old Promasters.

                Why should the name have any bearing on its reliability?

                Edit: oh and I think I might pick one of those up too

                  I don't think the name will have any bearing on the reliability, but you don't see any car companies releasing a new car named the Pacer, do you? If you would have owned one of the originals, you'd understand. I'm not knocking the new ones...heck, I own an ICD gun! I just would have named it something else. Apparently I am the only one that remembers them...getting old I guess!

                    I had 2 Line SI Promasters. I loved the quick barrel release.

                      ight, lets rename the gun for them.

                      My vote is

                      "AirBunkerMaster"

                      get it ... yah know ... bushmaster for oldschool woodsball... airbunker master for new speedball...

                      okay its incredibly corny

                      but i like it !

                      ABM for short.

                      they could just never tell anyone what the acronym means.

                        I think this marker is the best for the money all the way up to the very high ends. The Ion is close, but I'd spend the extra $80 for this.

                            OMFG! That's gotta be ramping in the vids. Does it really come with nxl/psp/cfoa/etc. modes?

                              Yes it is ramping, and yes it comes with all those modes.
