sooo why do all of you hate ions so much??(for the ppl that dont like them) i hear its because everyone is getting them or something but if you ask me everyone has dm4's and dm5's and nobody hates those guns?? it kinda makes me mad because in general the ion is a good gun but alot of you guys always rag on them and i dont get it....

My Ion owns on the field. 17bps (in rebound) is just as fast as anyone else shooting, so why complain?

As with any gun, you must maintain it and keep it clean and lubed, or else it will break.

Really, my parents were killed by Santa.

I have called in the Mafia, and we have declared a Vendetta on the fat man.

Im pretty sure my viking can do 46 bps if it had a loader to feed that fast, so shut up. It can also do 23 w/ my reloader, so if i feel like just wasting paint, i can shoot faster.

And that makes me a better looking person.

This is a little off topic, and rude. Stay on topic.

Because the Ion is good and cheap, bringing the prices of other high end guns down hurting the paintball marker makers.  I think.  I like 'em though.

I can honestly say I own one and I like it... however my only beef is without upgrades, its pretty inconsistant/inaccurate and it takes a lot of effort to clean the eyes and to lubricate
