The Ion will have no trouble taking a Halo B or Reloader B. I would take speed over capacity. Reloading doesnt take long.

You call the Eagle, Eagle does the rest.

It only shoots 17bps you could just get yourself a Zboarded eggy and save some $$$.

Yea it will work with pretty much any loader. Like The Man said get an evo 2 with a z board. It will keep up with your Ion fine.

Get a Halo. Egg's are cheap and break easily.

I wouldn't get a Halo TSA, just get the Halo B
As for the Egg, some people including me don't like how the weight is distributed, maybe go to a proshop and put it on the Ion and see how it feels, but other than that the Egg is a nice loader.
Good Luck

Halo TSA's are crap-their feednecks break when you take them outta the box. Go with an Eggy or Halo B. A stock Y-boarded Eggy will be fast enough for the Ion.

I have a question about the Ion, so I guess this is the perfect place to ask.

Is it for real? I have the '03 Shocker and flat out stopped playing so I am selling it for a lower end gun. I am highly interested in the Ion, but is it quality?

For once I actually agree with Pred. I owned two (because they kept breaking) of them in one year. As Pred said they are very big theyu are really heavy, they have huge feednecks, they're slow (compared to Empires and Halo B's, and the battery door and lid will be breaking on you all the time. Stay away from EVOII's they're an unreliable POS.
