$300 Project-- Getting a Marker

[xTRIGGERx]

I am trying to decide which marker would be best for me. I really like a recball/speedball type gun that i can use to get started, and still be OK quality. I usually play some airball fields, and then some recball non-wooded fields. THey aren't necesarily speedball but like trenches or open hillside with some tires ect. So playing that and alot of speedball i was looking at getting my first marker. I really want a less than $300 original purchase, and can spend up to $100 a month after that.

ALot of my issue is economically not having like $500 to dump into it right off.

So I have a couple ideas. Seeing as i play alot of recball and want to get into scenario i was looking at hte A5. It is fast, and very upgradable. WIth a few minor tweaks it could be an ok speedball gun if i played a levelheaded mid. Nothing tournament type play at this point, jsut walk on and with some friends. m It will be great if i get into scenario. I am only worried about the weight, how much will a fully uped one weight? if i add a stock?

Along a more speedball gun i can't decide. i know i will want to buy some ups, but i have nothing right now so i need to get everything. I would really love to NOT spend that much. That is everything i need with the gun so it would be orperational as soon as i got it. Now that is everyhting i would need to operational as soon as i got the gun. Down the road i can put in about $100 a month so i can build the gun up as i go.

Now an ion looks nice. its cheap and great for the money, but it really isnt a $200 gun. I need to put in atleast $320-$330 plus a mask for it to actually work. I need a N2 tank and an egg to go with it. Do i need N2, or will it run on Co2? Everyone says Co2 will kill my internals if i get on ion, but if i A/S the tank, how often will anything actually get into the gun?

Im actually not even set on the ion, thats just an examply. I dont mind if the gun isn't an insane electro, and i would really prefer Co2, and up it to nitro or HPA later. I am also looking at a Spyder Electra, and possible a Diablo Wrath, although i havent research the diablo, just heard about it.

What do yall think? i have $300, maybe a few dollars more, and than can put more into it later.

What would u do in this situation?

[mastercheif_425]

might as well start off with something good and get the ion.
I'll give you what i'd get in your case

Ion - 200
ccm (stock feedneck suck) - 30
proto el - 30
crossfire 47/3K air tank - 72

total 332

Definitly try to save the extra money for the cross fire tank

[soccerjacks12]

If I were you I'd save up now. A/s tanks are possible, but not in high rates of fire, and aren't so nice in the long run. TheSpy runs his ion on a/s CO2. So if you can, save up for a few months and then get all the money together and get a full setup. (Ion, 68/4500 Crossfire, Halo B). If you really want CO2, the Wrath works better but the best performance w/ CO2 will be out of the EVO SE.

buy something cheap now, and buy an Ion later when you have about $500 to blow

Remember I have NOTHING and this will be my first paintball equipment. Is there anything I am missing that will limit me from using or taking care of this gun as soon as I get it and put in the 9v battery? Anything for cleaning I am missing? Will the spyder feed neck support a halo b?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks, that is probably what I will do, but most likely something cheaper off of eBay.<o:p></o:p>

Any suggestions or other tips I would appreciate.<o:p></o:p>

id get a 20 oz tank of co2 and maybe the 9oz for a spare

[Mlb06]

also sry i didnt mention that in the last one but i got my spyder pilot acs of ebay for 150 for the gun a mask (crappy) 20oz co2 squeege and a normal 200rd java hopper with the battery and charger for the gun.

[xTRIGGERx]

ok, i have been renting alot lately, and the 12oz is what they have.

How much does a 20oz weigh? that is awfully big when im trying to keep the gun & my profile as small as possible.

What do yall think aobut the weight/size?

[soccerjacks12]

20 oz is fine, I find teh 12 oz to be too small. But I would go for a Piranha EVO over the ACS, and skip teh teardrop, and trigger, you need to know if you like the stock parts first. If you hate them then order.

[Nexxus]

Yeah take the EVO or Vexor Eye over the Pilot.

[soccerjacks12]

Yeah take the EVO or Vexor Eye over the Pilot.
For sure, get the EVO SE if you got the cash.

[Goldeneye7]

Both are good markers man, take the EVO though, that is just me.
If I could give you one more option, actionvillage.com has a Indian Creek BKO for 139.00?
