Here's the mentality most people have.

Imps are huge, old, and the upgrades for them are just as moldy. Ions are "plastic shockers", they're cheap, and they can be upgraded like crazy.

They're great entry-level speedball guns that are awesome out of the box assuming you have HPA and a decent hopper. There are TONS of upgrades for them as well.

Well...

Same hype as when the Angel came out: fast, light, fairly efficient, etc. But this time, much cheaper. Did the original LED Angels have Eyes? Like the '97 ones.

At any rate, SP has create a great product. Sure, n0t high-end like an Angel, but for $200.00, you get something that would've cost you around $400.00 a few years ago, possibly even a thousand back in the late 90s.

^^perfectly true

 

I like my impulse, but, i do like the feel of the trigger frame for some reason, especially with a CP trigger

on my old team, 3/6 people shot ions.  including my friend's sister.  they're good guns, but people need to understand they're going to break eventually, and when that time comes, you better know what you're doing, or a proshop will take advantage of you.

My friend bought 4 ions before he found one that worked. The only thing is
that two of the broken ones came from two different sites on the net.

same is true with any gun.  biggest problems iv had with mine in the year iv owned it was some leaky hoses and i snapped a qev in 1/2.  a friend of mine had an imp.  i shot the thing a few times and hated it compared to my gun since its about twice the size and wieght.  the imp is an outdated platform.

^^when upgraded its just as good as almost any gun,

besides the weight and size

but if you lift weights, it shouldnt be a problem, and if your good, you dont care about the size
