whats good about it..its a great entry level tourny gun..has eyes a mango trigger and a high rate of fire for roughly around 300n bucks...and is customizable(sp) if you want to change up the color of your gun to match your jersey they do so...if you dont think thats a big deal you havent met a lot of vain tourny players, i mean lasoya made a gun to match himself. its a good gun if you want all the bang of a 900 dollar gun with out the price. sure its plastic but so are a lot of things these days(cars).

Hysteria, I'm pretty sure you're comparing his statement about the Ion being loud, at least I hope so or that was REALLY random. 

 But yeah, try and compare a A-5 to an Ion, thats what i thought, shut up.  No.  Hey.  No.  Give up, Takkun.  It's over.  You lost.  Kthnxsbye.

It is made out of polymer, which ISN'T plastic, which is much stronger than it, but it's no Tippmann durability wise, it's pretty fast for the low price, it has eyes, it comes with a low pressure regulator stock, it has fireing modes.
Again, it's really cheap, and will probably lower in the near future.

Yet another example of someone dissing the ION with no facts to back it up.

It's funny when people that don't even own and have not shot the gun know more about it than some dude trying to bash it! LMAO

Yesh, I was compairing the two.  Shut up?  How about hell no.  It just seems a little hypocritical for an A-5 owner to be complaining about the noise of a gun, and I was simply pointing this out.

Please don't post about things when you have no idea what you are talking about. A polymer is any organic chain molecule that has many (poly) repeating units (-mers). Polymers range from polystyrene (styrofoam) to polyurethane to polyvinyl chloride (PVC piping) to polyprorylene (clothing and carpeting) to polyamide (nylon). Polymers also include such things as proteins, cellulose, and starches.

Plastic is a term which describes a material's behaviour under stress. When stressed, plastic materials deform continuously and permanently without breaking or tearing.

In this case, the Ion is made of a polymer that has plastic properties. This is commonly just called plastic, but it is really a polymer and a plastic. There are thousands of different plastics, so saying that this gun is "made out of polymer, which ISN'T plastic, which is much stronger than it" is just an ignorant statement. If you know what you're talking about, feel free to enlighten us but if you don't, just keep your mouth shut.
