What does that have to do with the Shocker sucking and the Ion being good for the price? I never said the Ion didn't suck but the Ion doesn't go for around the same price as a Minion or PM6. Better spool-valve markers than the shocker. Now the Shocker NXTs are released and basically, they ashamed all older versions, so my view has since changed. Only to the fact they have an HE bolt and Break Beam eyes.

Aye...moronic ye be again! Shocker be a advanced version of te Ion! The older versions be before the Ion! So of course the Ion would have more advanced features. Shocker is an Ion, just a more advanced version now. The one you just compared (very old Shockers)... that's like comparing a Talon to an Angel 1. Knowing people like you when the NEW Ion is released you will say the Shocker NXT sucks. You have, an A-5. Not a Shocker, go home.

Okay. I guess I have to spell this out. The 2006 Shockers suck. The Ion is a great deal because of the price and the perforance you get (but you do get what you pay for). Now, the Shocker NXTs are much better because they come stock with HE bolt and now have Break Beam eyes. Before they had Bounce Beam eyes and had horrible efficiency. Now with the new upgrades then can actually compete with markers in their price range, not just get ashamed by them. I'm not going by date, I'm going by upgrades. And I might have an A-5 but I'm not ignorant nor dumb.

Aye. I have shot a Shocker and an Ion. I will stand by this statement that I am making. The Shocker IS more accurate, and more efficent, out of the package. I don't know anyone besides ye, that actually agrees that the Ion is better than the Shocker. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ion.. but I would take the Shocker over it anyday. People seem to forget.. the Ion's design was taken directly from the Shocker.

ITS A GREAT DEAL, not a great marker. No doubt the Shocker is better. But for the price it is not. I'm saying the Shocker was not good for the price. For the same price you could have gotten something better such as a PM6, DM5 or a Minion. Which are markers that are also spool, but alot better.

Aye, I thought you were stateing that the Shocker wasn't as good as an Ion. And yes, DM5 and PM6's are all good, but we are talking Smart Parts... if you want to go into other guns.. heck...of course there are better buys. If I could go back, before I bought my A-5 and pimped it out.. I would have most assurely gotten an Ion. Because I would have had so much extra money, that I could up it to it's max potential (as I have done with my A-5). Most of Smart Parts guns are over-priced...that's a given, the only one that isn't is the Ion... I wasn't argueing price, I was argueing performance, we were both on two different pages.

Hey. That's what happens when you mis-read a post, and then call the guy an idiot.
