I'd go with the Ion. I'm a huge fan of BLs, but never liked the defiants.

Defiant.

50 bucks is a small price to pay for a gun that wont get you made fun of, and a gun with superior performance.

Who cares if an Ion gets made fun of? The only people who make fun of it are people who spent $1000+ on their markers and are mad because this $200 "newb" gun can sling as much paint. And dont say they are made fun of because they are cheaply made, because I dont agree with that at all. I have yet to have any problems with my Ion and I have had it for about a year and have played with it alot. And finally who is going to be laughing when you gog a guy with this "newb" gun. Lets all remember the all important motto: "Its not the gun, its the player"

People don't like to be made fun of, it's a fact. So, when presented with the opportunity to avoid that, the instinct should be to go with the gun that wont get you mocked.

I didn't make this up, so don't preach your crap at me.

Settle down, I wasnt preaching anything to you. I was just making a point, as were you. As for being made fun of, I take it with a grain of salt. I dont care if people make fun of me for shooting an Ion. I like it and thats all that matters to me. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, and if I did offend you, I'm sorry.

EDIT- I never once said that you made that up.

It kinda deppresses me to see every 10 year old at the field have ions as their first guns.

I started out with a friggin talon pump

whats it gonna be like in 10 years kids starting out with a new gun that can shoot a billion balls a second for 100 bucks
