If you can afford HPA and a nice hopper, then I say go for the Ion.

Idk like the other guys said the ion is a good gun but from what Ive heard its not so reliable, and as we all know tippmanns are some of the most reliable guns on the market so its ur choice. Honestly I would check into the ion more then think about it....

well do you want your gun to be faster and smaller more for speedball

or more reliable and more accurate

SP Vision Imp w/ ALL NDZ internals, CP flame drop w/ on/off, Freak-AA tip, lowrise feedneck, NDZ Pro-Mag trigger, tapeworm, NDZ lpr cap, NDZ ti. bolt pin, maybe thats it?

Ion's are just as accurate as an A-5. However we have had realiblity problems with Ions, mostly concerning improper assembly at the plant.

If you haven't seen anything wrong with an Ion, you don't play much.

But yeah you did a good job choosing the Ion, but don't put Co2 in it, if you are just give it to me so it doesn't get hurt.

Please for the love of god don't get a flatline.
