| The BushMaster 2000 comes standard with the most capabilities at the flick of a switch. There are four separate
modes to choose from. Go from semi-auto (single shot), 3 shot burst, 6 shot burst, or full auto by flipping a switch
inside the grip. Each of the 3, 6, or full-auto modes stops when the trigger is released, allowing single shot firing in any
mode. |

| The Indian Creek Designs Bushmaster 2000 is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

Upgrades: |
pretty much what i have, although i plan to get a zenitram micro rock adap, either a jam bolt or a blind bolt, (whenever they come out), a zenitram magnet trig frame, a zenitram 15 degree asa( looks awsome), and a zenitram valve |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
VERY fast, i can easily get strings of 15-18 bps. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
i hear the stock reg sucks, wouldnt know, it had a new one on it |
|
| Review: |
this thing is awsome, incredibly fast and with the ultralite, accurate as anything ive ever shot. i can easily pick off players across the field. From 45ft away I had 4-5in shot groupings, thats awsome. i have adjusted the trigg to being incredibly light and short. be sure to put blue loctite on the set screws though, they WILL come loose. no big. |
|
| Conclusion: |
all in all, one of the best markers out their, with the proper ups this thing can keep up with anything. I'd take my bush over a impy any day, BUY ONE |

Upgrades: |
well a motorized hopper is a must
the grips arent the best, but they arent all that bad
some dont like the trigger frame |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
I love this gun. i paid 450 for this gun and dont regret a thing. its light, fast, consistent. I love the trigger, its a little sloppy. i like the slop though, it helps rip out the paint. the little bit of kick the gun has helps you keep a rythm going. i love the milling this gun has (its the x milling). The new 2 piece stock barrel is very accurate with a good paint match, i think its comparable to the boomstick on my cocker. the tips are compatable with jt's. dont listen to the guy below, they arent battery hogs. the batteries last you around 30000 shots. he also talks about the trigger set screws moving so you cant shoot. but it plainly states in the manual that you should put a drop of blue loc-tite on the set screws so they dont vibrate loose. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
people say its tall..its not very tall at all. alot shorter than i thought it would be
kick, some think its too much, it helps me rip out the paint
trigger, its sloppy, but it helps me rip out the paint
grips, they really arent as good as dye stickies
|
|
| Conclusion: |
i think this is one of the best guns for the price. its very similar to the impuse, theyre basically the same gun, i just prefer the bushmaster. but for 450 or lower..you just cant beat it. icd's customer service is great, my gun didnt come with a manual and they sent me one right away. ill give it a 9 because its an awesome gun, but there is stuff that could be improved. i would give it a 10 but this gun isnt perfect |

|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
New Barrel of course, New Reg maybe a gladiator or Max Flow, Low Pressure Reg (MacDev), and new trigger I don't like Blade Triggers. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
This is a great marker! It has a two way adjustable tigger. With a little practice the trigger is as fast as anything out there. There are plenty of upgrades (thought you really have to look hard for them) The stock barrel on the Gen 8's is a two piece CJ barrel, it's not bad but compared to the Freak it's not accurate enough. The Bushy uses regular 9 volt batterys. I love the quick pull bolt for cleaning and when you get that unfortunate ball break(from shooting to fast of course) I think the Price is Great for what you get. I payed 450.00 for mine. They also have a Paint Detection System that can be installed . |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The 4-way is a bit fussy. But with a gauge built just for the Bushy you can dial it up to the 90psi that it needs and leave it. Problem solved. The Blade Trigger is a bit sloppy but is fixed with a few different triggers. Again Problem solved. It is a bit tall so keep that hopper tilted in. The wirering is a little bit of a pain. With out quick disconects you can't seperate the trigger frame from the body. No big deal if you are not doing your own upgrades. ICD has a screwed up HP reg. You need to buy one of there (or other) vertical addaptors to put on a aftermarket regulator. But though ICD there cheap and problem solved. Everyone coming up and asking if it is an Impules. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really love this marker. It has the accuracy I need and the speed I need. Is this the best marker out there? No, but it is one of the best and at less then half the price of other makers like it. You can keep up with just about everyone on the field and have more money to spend on paint. The few problems that the bushy has are quickly upgraded and I belive ICD is working on new Versions of the Busy that will incorperate this problems and have a paint detection system available for it as well. So in conclusion if you want the speed of a Angle but don't like the price buy a Bushy and upgrade the heck out of it. I think it's more fun that way! But as with any product don't trust what I say find someone who has one and ask to see it used or perhaps use it yourself. |

| Review: |
Well I eventually got the chance to take this oldskool bad boy out, just as I had brought it, with 16" Dye Ultralight Titanium barrel, stock everything else, and below is what I thought of it, do bare in mind that this is my 1st electronic marker.
Well I was surprised by how light the marker was in comparison to the others I had used in the past. It shot consistant over the crono, only differing by 2-5 fps. I was also surprised at the ammount of paint I shot in the 1st game without realising it as the trigger was so light. It felt comfortable to hold, as you can brace it well on the tank and front, which also prevents the barrel waving around. It's also very quiet even compared with the other markers that were being used on the day.
I brought it 2nd hand (obviously as the marker was released over 5 years ago), and it was pretty cheap (£75 inc. postage), so its a great marker for budget baller's like myself (student jobs dont pay well).
There are only a few things that let the marker down, that was the fact that you couldn't double tap the trigger with fore and middle finger alternating, even after tinkering with the trigger, but it didnt really bother me and I shot with both in unison, still racking up a fast rate of fire, if I remember correctly 11bps so the crono said. Also the only other thing that bugged me was the fact my hopper sat loose in the feedneck, but I suppose it was more my hopper that the marker as I do belive that it had been modified down. I also thought to look how to change the battery incase it dies on me, its a bit trickier than one would think and in comparison to more modern markers, you have to remove the hand grip and then remove 4 screws to seperate the bottom and top half, and tada, the battery, change and then put it all back, only really a 2 min job tho. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Tho it may seem that I have written more negitive than positive is because I find it easier to complain (don't we all?), but really its got alot going for it, and the fact the guys on site deem it "oldskool" really gets you some style points! |

|
| Review: |
Basically this has been my back up gun for a while...i usually used my friends angels when i could...i was going to upgrade this gun into a gun that could compete with the best, but then i realized that it would cost be about five hundred dollars to do that...so i bought my atomix impulse with has all the ups i would have put on my b2k only my atomix is far better looking and did take as much time to build.
The main problems with the gun is that it chops...like crazy, especially since i have the chaos board in it and for some reason it bounces like crazy too. The gun is kinda heavy but nothing overwhelming. Also you tend to find that the wiring needs to be redone on these older electros which is a pain in the a$$...so for the money get something else there are plenty of good cheap guns out there.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Basically the gun ok if you get a cheap one off ebay and put a couple hundred dollars into making it keep up with the electros of today...if your not willing to do that save your self some money and time and get a cheap impulse or a newer bushmaster...i give it a seven because with todays standards there are much more efficient and faster guns for the money. |

| Review: |
overall a great gun reliable in the field, easy to clean and maintain(no need for oil) super fast. ive had some of my friends make fuin of it they say it cant compete with an impulse but they are dead wrong. i can compete with almost anything out there without shelling out a grand on a gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
buy this gun you will not be disappointed. it is top of the line you might need to get a new regulator but mine works fine |

|
| Review: |
This gun is a great tournament ready gun right out of the box. Just do a crazy trigger job on it and replace the stock barrel with a better barrel (dye, jt, or freak will do) and you're set! This gun can definitely keep up with most tournament grade guns. I could walk my BKO at 17bps after I reduced the trigger pull to less than 1/2 a mm. The trigger is a little sloppy, but nothing too serious. The sloppy trigger can actually work to your advantage because you can tap the trigger on the side to shoot it. I have had absolutely no problems with this gun at all. Get a 4500 tank and you'll take care of the "gas hog" problem. The quick release pin on the gun makes it for simple cleaning that takes only a few seconds. I just laugh at my friends that paid near three times what I did for an angel, when I can compete with them with the BKO. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A great gun at a great price! I only paid $355 for the whole setup you see above! Performance of an Impulse without paying an arm and a leg! You really can't go wrong!
Considering the price this gun sells for and it's outstanding performance, I give it a 10. |

The above basically... :-D
I recommend a large bore barrel, its the easiest way to do things. With my cocker I use a freak, but its not needed for an open bolt gun like the Bushy
I plan on getting the new trigger frame from ICD, its more comfy than the one I have and is much more adjustable. |

| Review: |
I love this gun. Plain and simple.
With a new chip (Chaos) and good trigger, this thing totally rips. I would take a bushy over an angel anyday. It is so fast and light, which is important when you play front. And if your a front man like me, i also recommend a warp. Makes playing the snake much more fun.
I love the way mine looks, the fishbone milling is cool, and the green with black splah anno job is done very well.
I haven't had any problems with it except for the inline reg. But ICD's inline regs are hit or miss in general. Some work, some don't. And well... Mind didn't. So i threw an adapter on her, and bought a Torpedo. and I couldn't be happier. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I love this gun, and the milling on the 2k3's is totally awesome! I recommend a bushy to any serious player that doesn't want to shell out a grand just for a gun. I shelled out a grand for a gun and extras. :-) Yay warp feed!
Gave it a nine because my reg didn't work. Otherwise its a TEN all the way. |

Upgrades: |
i never used the stock reg so i cant necessarily say to change the reg, for all i know its great. but the it needs a new barrel (not desperately). and a drop because it doesnt come with one. i wouldnt recommend a halo because most are high rise i think. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
fast, nice adjustable trigger, consistent, alot of upgradables, easy maintenance |
|
| Weaknesses: |
trigger slop and stock board is capped at 13 bps |
|
| Review: |
this gun works flawlessly when set up right. i use a preset tank yet it is still consistent with no air related problems. although stock chip is capped at 13 bps, it is still an amazing gun. the stock barrel would be the first thing i would get upgraded. it does shoot well with it but their is room for alot of improvement. i shoot evil balls and it shoots them well but the dye ultralite shoots them godly. i would recommend the ultralite for a barrel and a torpedo reg or vigilante if you want a new regulator. |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you are looking for a low cost yet reliable and fast gun, get a bushmaster. the lcd version is a bit nicer but this does what its supposed to perfectly. i am extremely impressed and happy with my decision to buy one. |
