hey

right now i have a tippmann A-5 and its time for a new gun upgrade. I was wondering what to get. i dont have much money but i can probably get a gun somewhere between 300 to 500. I was thinkin either the BKO, the B2K5, or the series 5 i was just wondering which one i should get im oppen to suggestions for other good guns to.
thank you

B2k5 fo sho.

[nirvana1234]

b2k5!

Series five pump. Or, maybe a Carter.

[Hobosk1115]

When will the b2k5 come out and about how much will it cost.

Not sure on the date (somewhat soon hopefiully) and its $500

If you are short on money and can wait, the 05 bko is looking pretty nice.

Edit: I'm hesitant to pre order either of these, just wait for them to come out and have some reviews on them. I mean, most people aren't going to do much balling till summer, might as well save up and see what all comes out and how good it is.

Eh get an Angel...no but seriously, stick with the BKO5 and get that...or save up a little more and get a used e-cocker or Timmy.

Is the BKO better than the ic b2k

[Hobosk1115]

Everyone says on the forum that the bko is totally inaccurate and chops balls like crazy. They also said that you have to spend lots of time upgrading it and getting new parts. But the b2k looks pretty nice. and there both better than the A-5 right?

[can'tthink of1]

Bko's aren't my exactly on my "good" list, but thats just me. Same with ICD, I'm not a real big fan of them as a company. But thats just me. From what I've read here and pbnation both the b2k5 and the bko 05, are going to be really nice. Hell, I think even their features sound impressive, but I'll wait till they come out.

Bko's aren't bad markers persay, but they aren't special or anything. The 05 looks pretty nice, just nothing is really known about it.

[Hobosk1115]

The 2005 BKO is cheaper than the bk25 but is it worse or are they both prettu equal?

[can'tthink of1]

Hard to say. The bko's operation is slightly different though, it uses a spring to return the ram instead of air like the b2k5 does. This spring return limits the operation of the bko to 17-18cps MAX. I've heard of people that attained higher, but never seen any proof. Granted, 18bps is plenty fast enough for basically everyone.

Like I said before, I'd wait untill they come out and people test them so you can have an idea.

[Hobosk1115]

Is speed the only difference because 18bps is plenty fast for me.

[cutomcocker1]

thats basicly it...speed...:|

Look for a good deal for an older style matrix. I saw a Gen E trix w/ pipe kit go for $550 at my local shop

Check out the Ion. You'll have some money left over for other stuff.

And, of course, we have to get the Ion plug in.

It just wouldn't be a "What gun should I get?" thread without at least one plug for the Ion.

Why not? It's a decent marker. Just because everyone has a stiffy for ICD doesn't mean it's not worth considering.

Agreed, I'm an ICD fan but for the price and what it does, I would also recommend checking out the Ion. I don't even like SP for that matter, but by all indications it's supposed to be pretty decent.

ya it should be ok. there will probably alot of ups for it too. i would think it's light aswell because of the plastic exo-skelly
