are you really me too lol...anyway the first ups should be a feedneck and a trigger. custom products makes nice stuff and then the secnd thing you should get is a Qez and probably a new reg because the efficiency isnt that great. but with those 4 things it will be prety kik ass --------------------- |

If you go to Zephyrpaintball .com and type in Massacre to get a discount. Or you can go to paintballgear.com and type in Happy2006 (No spaces) and receive 10% off your total purchases. This is great if your purchase alot of gear and ur looking to save some money. I also own an ion and i have upgraded the trigger and feedneck as well. However i would recommend a new barrel, The Freak. The reg isn't bad if your dwell is set properly, and qev's are a good investment. If you have a short tank i would get a Check it Unimount or if its a slightly longer tank get a smaller drop.(It depends on how you like your tanks position. A good hopper for the ion could me a halo or empire even a egg( i use it). If you plan on having you ion looking into the new Virtue software for it. Let me know if this helps you guys out. --------------------- For Sale: Black Smart Parts Ion w/ Ups 3A 68/4500 PSI tank Egg And other Gear AIM: YoItsMacris |

if you don't ming getting something used, try ebay or b/s/t threads in pbnation - that is where you can find some great deals. as for upgrades, a nice barrel is first priority for me then a better reg like a cp. IMHO feedneck and trigger are more of a cosmetic upgrade since a well adjusted trigger can give you the rof that you are capable of. get the fastest hopper that your budget allows (empire or halo with rip), what use is a machine gun without ammo after all? i have to warn you though, the upgrade path can be very expensive and its resale will not amount to much - i would look into used higher end guns that can be had cheap nowadays: (dm3, dm4, 2k2-2k5 timmies, angels) something with a limited run (private labels) might give you a higher resale value in the long run. --------------------- |

jgacs - sorry bro, i don't think i can bear letting any of my markers go although you are welcome to give it a workout. i can let you borrow it if you are playing so you can get a feel of how they handle/shoot to help you decide on what your next marker/s will be. kush - have fun with that pm5, make sure to lube it up nice and get some spare orings. other than that be prepared for spending a lot more on paint! --------------------- |
