I agree.
If you're paying for it, just go with the BKO. Or buy used like pbfreak said.

If you dont like used like me , buy a BKO and for 500 bucks you can get a nice barrel and HPA tank .

Not to mention maybe a Halo B but that depends what size tank you get.

Look I searched and found some results and stuff. This is what I will also be getting for 550 bucks.
b2k4 - 409 bucks without pds - www.pbgear.com
Empire 12revvy - 43 bucks - www.pbgear.com
Check It Unimount - 35 bucks -www.tantrumpaintball.com
Crossfire tank 47/3k - 75 bucks - www.firstcallpaintball.com
All that for 550 is a pretty good deal...

I think you will find the tank is to small and the revy is to slow.
You will easily be able to pull 13+ bps from the B2K stock and this will lead to chops because the hopper cant keep up.
Secondly a 47/3K tank will not give you much more than 2 or 300 shots per fill. You will be spending more time at the fill station than you will on the field.
I would recommend you purchase at least a 68/3K tank. You can pick up a BDIII 68/45 for about the same price as most peoples 68/3K's and these babies are built like tanks. I think we retail them at $170.
Next thing would be to check out a Egg with Y board and later upgrade to a Z Board. This will run you around $70ish. It will however allow you to fire the marker much faster without worries of chops.
Sometimes it is better to save your cash and wait a extra month to play than it is to purchase something so you can get out there and play. Usually when you purchase something just to play you lose the money you spent on that product as well as the time it takes to save the money up for the product you needed in the first place.

Empire 12revvy - 43 bucks :eek: :banghead:
Get an Egg or Halo. The Reloader will not be fast enough, I guarantee you will chop the first time you try to walk the trigger. I tell you this because that is what happened to me. Luckily it was just my friend's Revy that I used because my Halo was still in the mail :D . But you will need something faster. for slower guns the Reloader is pretty nice, but it will not keep up with a Bushy or BKO. When you get a fast gun, you cannot afford to be a cheapskate when it comes to buying a hopper. For the tank, some ppl prefer 45ci tanks because they are smaller. But if you get one, get a 45/4500, the 45/3000 has a VERY small shot capacity.
