Spyders vs Ions

[bbonifant]

Can anyone tell me the lowdown on the new VS3 Spyder? and if a Iron would be a better buy. Looking at geting the marker sent over from the states so if anyones got any info would be sweet,

cheers bonifant.

I would say neither. Get a PMR, looks like excellent bang for your buck. Made by Proto, based of the Proto Matrix 6. PMR are only $400 USD, and you get a pretty decent high end for that. If you were really wanting to go to town on it, you could get an Ultralite frame for it. That'd be pure sex.

Ions arent BOB (bolt out back), So they are more of a pain unless you get a BOB body for it. You can upp an Ion till the cows come home and its still only an Ion. I'd take a PMR over an upped ion anyday.

And Just No on the spyder... No.

Also beware the guns from the states, especially electros. If you dont have their select and auto fire modes disabled, customs will seize the gun and destroy it. No refund, no nothing.

Aint nothing wrong with an ion :p

But yeah get the rail. A semi only one.

Yeah... aint nothin, so there is something. One being its Not BOB. It is good for its price, I'll give it that. But yeah... PMR ftw!

I BOB'd mine so it's all good (not that it's ever chopped). Even still were I to get a new one now with a low budget I'd get a PMR.

Ego 7 next up though... :)

The PMR isn't anything like the PM6. It's closer in operation to an Ion actually.
