Promasters: Worth money?

[PaintballerSteve]

Hey, I have a few questions about the new Promasters..

Are they worth buying?
Do they chop and leak like BKO's?
Are they made decently?
Are they decent guns for the money?

The reason I ask this is because I own a 2004 BKO now, which I'm trying to sell, and I really don't like it. I was wondering if a PM is any better?

Ya what he said, nothing is quite better than playing shooting across the field on the brake and hearing people on the other team say wow that thing is fast.

Are they worth buying? You might as well be asking "Is paintball worth playing?"
Do they chop and leak like BKO's?BKO's dont have pds. Promaster do so they don't chop at all
Are they made decently? Of course. Better made than the ion IMO
Are they decent guns for the money? YES YES YES And YES

There are your answers. Promaster is different than the BKO. its more like a freestyle and a Bushmaster mixed.

[PaintballerSteve]

Thanks for the help guys, i think I might get one..

Also, can they use HP tanks?

[manike]

Yes.

Freestyle and a Bushmaster mixed???

It's a BKO and a bushmaster mixed

[manike]

With some added freestyle parts/features... ;)

Trigger, board, 3mm eyes and detents...

Here's a question.

What else is needed with the promaster to get it to run.

I know marco line kit and a ASA, but what about dow 33 to lube the gun?

[ICD-EVIL]

im seriously sick of this..the next person who makes a :is it worth it" or "what upgrades for the Promaster??" will cause me to make a personal vendetta against them

honestly look 5 threads down.. there is a whole freaakin slew of em.. its not that difficult.. youve been here since late 04 steve.. you should know these things

[PaintballerSteve]

Yeah, sorry, your right. I should have looked down.

[ICD-EVIL]

lol no probelm.. i hate this.. everytime i say stuff like that.. i expect a .. "well your an *** leave".. everyone has been very passive lol.. it makes me look like a grumpy jerk lol

[phishrfriend]

jerk in training

[ICD-EVIL]

compliment i guess?

[phishrfriend]

imo this is the best gun for the money and it would still be a good seller if it was 200.00 more !

[moo_moo_face]

it seems real good and stuff. i almost got one, cus everything ive heard about them is good, but instaed i got a cyborg, cus ive just always wanted one and had a few extra bucks lyin around. my still get one of these to though

I've had two leak problems with mine already. I still haven't fixed my LPR leak, but the o-ring kit is on the way. I wish IGD would at least give you one of every o-ring you'd need on the gun with it. I had another leak problem where the screws in the back near the ram cap were too tight and were somehow pushing the QEV in an odd way causing it to leak (the store I bought it from fixed that one for me).

So far, for the money, I think it's worth it. For this amount, though, it ought to come with a clamping feedneck. Even the Diablo Wrath has one and it's $260 (the other gun I was considering).

If they really wanted to appeal to a broader market (Ion killer) they should have included a clamping feedneck and an ASA. If you factor those in, it's at least $440.

I would not have paid any more than I already did for this gun, though.

i have a bko too and im getting a promaster soon too. i shot one of these at the field today and it was amazing. im so used to shooting one finger with my bko to stop the chops and i just let it rip with this. its more accurate, smaller/lighter and less kick then the bko too.

[p8ntballoc11]

hey, my bko doesnt chop.

[Puck3d Up]

hey, my bko doesnt chop.
hey, your bko has pds... for the price of bko + pds, you've already spent pretty much enough to get a promaster...

[Paul81290]

wat did icd add on their promaster thats different from the b2kpds cause i have a good deal on a pds for under 300 with good ups but i really like the promaster

[sumorai]

Not so much that they added, but that they took away. No tray (shorter profile), added parts from the Freestyle (reg, trigger, board?). Take a Bushy and take a ProMaster and put them side-by-side. They look nothing alike.

[bobide]

yeah the promaster has some freestyle parts. It can take fs triggers, has a freestyle v7 board (which has predator lite coding :eek: ) also it has freestyle detents which manike aparently loves.
