M3 LCD vs PI E2 Black Dragun

[Thebicher]

Like the most of us, I am interested in getting the best paint gun possible for the least amount of money. At first the ACI F4 Illustrator stood out to me, but then I came across the Black Dragun. I am willing to spend about $250 and up to $280 on the gun (not including Co2, hopper, etc.). Well, I found I can get the M3 LCD for around $200 and the PI E2 for $10 more, so price is really no different, and I will have some money left over to get a good hopper, which it seems I will need with a paint gun that shoots as fast as the Black Dragun.
Alternatively, I could buy an ACI F4 Illustrator from a friend of mine that is fully upgraded (boomstick, good stabilizer, etc), but I just seem to love the trigger pull of the Black Dragun, while I'm not so fond of the trigger pull on the F4, so I am leaning towards the Black Dragon, I just want to know which type is the best, and also please tell me what upgrades I can expect to put into a Dragun.

Also the M3 Black Dragun Sniper is a possibility, but I don't really know much about it, so input on that gun is also welcome. On that note, if you think there is a better gun than those I have listed, please tell me.

The PI E2 is semi-auto only while the Dragun LCD is full function. The M3 Sniper has the same features as the LCD but has a different style body & only available in black.

if you're willing to spend up to 280 get a tko powerfeed mag if you can get hpa

Is full auto even that important? Most fields in my area don't even allow it, so there is no real need for that feature, besides shooting around. Anyway, I found I can get the E2 from www.paintballinc.com for $150, so that puts some advantage on the PI E2 over the M3, since I will have money left over to spend on goodies like upgrading the bolt, trigger, and getting a better barrel.

As for the TKO Powerfeed Automag, this also seems like a good gun that I am looking into, but the $280 price tag gets you the gun and that is just about it (doesn't even come with a barrel). Though it seems like a great gun, I am not sure I am willing to put that much money into upgrades, but I will look into it and see how good the stock parts are. What I would like to know is how much better its accuracy is over the Black Dragun. As always, advice on the subject is always welcome.

the tko mag comes with a barrel. as a matter of fact it will come with any random barrel so if you get lucky and you get a good one you probly wont have to buy another one.

get an M3 compact high end and then get a stabalizer and a CP barrel

Only problem is I want the LCD screen if I do get a BD.

At actionvillage.com they say that it does not come with a barrel, so I will look around at other sites. Just please tell me what makes it better than the Black Dragun E2/LCD. Also, what do you think of the Piranha (the one that costs around $280, pro I believe)? My friend is getting one of those, but I want to know how it compares to the BD E2/LCD and the TKO Powerfeed Mag.
