Why do you need another tippmann if you have one already? Buy a used ion for 150 and use the 98 as backup.

For 600 I'd buy a used shocker or dm5. If you don't have a hopper or hpa you could probably get a new dp fusion with a 68 45 tank and vlocity for around 600.

Why are so many Ion people on the tippmann page. All I ever see is buy an Ion. Don't you people get it . We like Tippmanns and hang out on the tippmann page not the Ion page. So do us all a favor . Take your ion and go to the ion page.
If your having a hard time finding it look for the smaller word one with 3 letters. ION

Buy an invert mini ($400) or proto matrix rail ($400), then buy a good hopper and nitro tank.
then use your tippmann for woods and backup

Just buy a Promaster or Fusion. Up that and use it for speedball, then up the Tippmann a little more and use it for woodsball. Now you're happy in both games.

Promasters are $250 but you have to buy an ASA and Fusions are $350. If by "how much do they run" you mean how efficient are they, off a 72/3000 you'll get roughly 700 shots on each.

BUY A SHOCKER.... Or a PMR I hear those are a great buy for the money. Seriously though, why buy another tippmann when instead you could upgrade to a faster, lighter marker? Then you can have a speedball and a woodsball marker. I know someone is about to say why can't tippmann's be used in speedball, I didn't say they couldn't.. Lets just be honest, I love tippmann, so I'm not trying to flame them, but the truth is that they are outclassed in just about every aspect of speedball. That is why I converted my custom pro for mainly woodsball. (Even though I do take it out on the field every now and then to prove to some ion kids who is boss)... Buy something you like, but for god sake it makes no sense to buy two of the same gun. Unless you are going to modify one for woods and one for speed. Promasters are a good buy but the PMR seems to be the better deal. With a pulse loader it can sling paint just as well as the $1600 egos out there. I'd rethink where you wanna go with paintball, and if its staying in the woods, then just upgrade your exsisting marker to the max, and you should be good with that.

shockers......not bad, protos, i think their better...........
But if u already kick "a**" in speedball why do you need a new gun?

Lightening Rod
I spend to much time reefing games thus spend less time here. I'm behind on the times I guess.
WTF is a Lightening rod?
