Need help on a marker for my bro

smart parts

aside from looks, and the it sure does look cool, the eos is basically an ion . Though if you are going to buy new you might as well get him a new ion xe, it will give him all the speed he needs, and unlike the previous ion its a breeze to lube/clean/maintain as the bolt pops out the back. Whereas the old ion was a bit of a chore to maintain as you had to disassmble the entire marker to get to the bolt. And of course dont take my word for it...below you will find info from the pbnation page devoted to the Eos. Good luck in your purchase!

What other differences are there, compared to an Ion?
There are a number of cosmetic/aesthetic differences, namely the aluminum sculpted EOS body (Epiphany bodies were made from a magnesium alloy with polymer webbing attached). The frame is more ergonomic and comfortable (as well as stylish). The bottomline includes an integrated dovetail. The stock bolt is the lightweight Firebolt from SP. The bodies include a Q-lock clamping feedneck. The stock barrel is a Freak. The trigger is slightly redesigned and uses a different mounting pin.

Why should I get an EOS or Epiph instead of a regular Ion?
Epiphanies and EOSes come with some upgrades as stock parts, as well as the benefit of using anodized aluminum parts instead of the powdercoated parts from an Ion. The aesthetics are one of the advantages over the Ion's simplistic polymer exoskeleton.

Etek2 is the best shooting gun for the money in my opinion, you can pick one up for like $450-$500 from kevin not sure on the price... Tanks get a used one for $150 or lower and you should be set. Get a velocity loader they seem to be working great for everyone i know.

Skinny - sells the guns
Medium_kevin - sells the tanks
Get a new Velocity or Velocity JR. they both work great 😁
