Precious?!

I'm torn... I've hit that stage where I need to decide to keep my BKO or upgrade to a b2k or later. I've upgraded a bunch of stuff including valve, barrel, frame, HPR and the like. but all my upgrades so far are transferable to a b2k. Next I was going to get a zenitram asa adapter and lpr, but if I'm going to get a b2k why bother? I just don't know what to do... I know that b2k's have more potential, but I like my bko a lot...

I'm just not sure what would be a better idea anymore...

Capt,

Ask yourself... do you want a B2K for an increase in performance? or just for a change.

Then, once you've answered that, then ask yourself, "is it worth it"....

Once you've answered those questions.... you've come to the conclusion, "grasshopper". :)

Cheers

Basically I comes down to one thing...are you an upgrade freak?

I am so I went from my tricked BKO to tricking out a B2K. Im glad I did and I love the PDS on my B2K.

The only reason I would get the b2k is if you want to try something different.

While the BKO is very similar to the B2K, they are different.

[RainTreeBoy]

Imp, when you say they are different, in you opinion, is it more of the feel of the gun thats different or the performance? Because I know the biggest performance difference is B2k has 4solenoid while bko has 2.

[ImpYa]

Yes, the gun feels different when i shoot it.

[CaptainFuzzy]

Jwong - You're wicked hardcore

Impya - How do you mean it "feels" different?

[ImpYa]

As in the shot feels different.

The return by air feels different than the return by a spring. I dont know how to descirbe it, its just different.

I suspect an air return will give it a "snappier" feel. If I can project human emotions onto an marker..... then the B2K's shots would feel more "confident". If the 4 way can cycle faster than the BKO's 2-way, I suspect the air-return would snap the ram back faster... thus a more confident feel.

I don't know.... just a thought.

Capt.... you can't go wrong either way. :) Regardless of your decision, just make sure you stick around these here forums to help us out. :)

Cheers

aww J, I'm touched. You can bet I'll stick around no matter what. I've owned many a numerous paintball gun and the only ones I've really liked are my BKO and my old old OLD spyder. I'm here to stay :)

I think I understand what you mean by confident though... in a strange way...

Well, I found a good deal on a used b2k so I think I'll transfer my BKO parts over and start anew... thanks you two.

ywa they have a different fell i have shot my friends bko and it fely more lose and unstable than my defiant

[MicroB]

BBBB, I understand what you meant today when you told me that. I say get a B2K to build your self esteem. Now that darn pasty kid with his oh so undeserved timmy will feel the wrath of team tweak. I have already devised a plan, and it shall be executed as soon as my brain stops storming normandy. Darn zee amereecahns!

[CaptainFuzzy]

Yeah bbb, sorry I couldn't spit it out easier. I think I would just feel better with a b2k... I love my beaky, but she's just a bit too twitchy... tweak shall rise...

Now I could get this thread closed... if only we had a moderator...

[MicroB]

Way to post off topic. Not that I remember the topic. Or ever posted on it. Darn it.

[gomster]

You could keep posting and posting and posting and never get this thread closed because we don't have a mod (or until someone PM's magnus).

But to get back on topic, I'd say wait for the solenoid upgrade for the BKO, and then BAM!! you got a B2K. Then maybe a new body and PDS and its pretty much no longer a BKO, and will cost less then starting from scratch with a B2K.
