Smart Parts ion, its SP, which is not a problem for me it is for some, but its fast, cheap, and fairly reliable, ive played with one, i like it, its probably the best gun $280 can buy


Hey, Pate, it does feel good to be a gangster.

Just get a electro spyder and hpa or get an  A-5 and a 20 0z.  If you get the Ion then you need hpa for good performance which is another 78$ and thats over your mark the A-5 is better then because you can get a 20 0z and still have 50-80 $to blow on upgrades.  I say A-5.  Read my sig for an excellent speedball setup.
My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5
Ricochet R-5
JCS double Trigger
Tippmann E-Grip
Flatline Barrel

Do you have the need for speed?

Ion is less $$$, and I hear less bad rep on Ions than ICD markers.

Sorry!

I can get an Ion from a reputable dealer new for less than that!

And no, I am not telling!!

Ion=pretty unreliable, of the ones i've dealt with, and some technical oversights in design.

Go with A-5 and 20oz., as said before. You would also have the 50-80$ extra too. That way you could buy an response trigger and save up for a flatline barrel. I believe its the best you can go with...

the b2k4 with pds will blow any ion out of the water. it's capable of much much much higher rates of fire(mid-high twenties) and is more reliable and just plain cooler. i would recommend the b2k4 w/pds or you can find a used cocker for pretty cheap, and those are always good.

As you can see we tend to disagree. Your best bet is to make a list and go out and try out as many as you can and decide which one you prefer.

I would lean heavy toward an ION.
