just go with the Ion.  My friend got an impulse w/o vision and it is a blender.  He hates the stock trigger and it is big and heavy.  Just go with the Ion.

Thats not a suprise. Its a blender because SP guns are a POS!!! They are not good guns and the ION isn't much better. Its just as unreliable and just as junky as your friends Impulse.

Carface..wow your what 10 years old. My "problem" with Smart Farts is they're guns are so over rated but they're ALL A POS. The Impulse is junk, the nerve is junk, the shocker is junk, and the ION is junk. People make thier guns out to be soo great but they're unrelaible trash.

Sorry to break it to you Scar, but a Shocker can easily own a Timmy... and even more so with a Nerve

Haha thats funny. The Alias and A-bom is lighter and faster then any of the SP gun out there not to mention alot more reliable. It wouldn't beat a Timmy even if it was actually working (which is rare for SP guns.) I think my sides will stop hurting soon from the sheer stupidity and ignorance of that post.

Get the ion for sure. Don't listen to Scarface, his opinion is totally biased. He keeps comparing the ion to $1000+ guns which is ridiculous. Of course the ion isn't as good as a gun 4x its price, but an upgraded one will be. If you want to compare the ion to timmies then make it an ion with a new reg, new trigger, QEV, new barrel, unimount, new feedneck, and 1 of the new boards that will soon be coming out and you have gun that is as good, if not better than, a timmy that is twice its upgraded price (the price increase is largely because of the fancy milling).

All in all, get an ion and up it to your personal preferences and i guarantee you won't be disapointed.

Biased...no Im talking from experience. Don't listen to me and go ahead and buy a $300 POS but I'll be here waiting to laugh at you when it takes a dump on you.

I never compared a ION to a Intimidator Bugg did, get your facts straight. Even an upgraded ION will never be as good as a high-end electro gun like an Intimidator or Angel.

If you need to add all that stuff to make it as good as other guns they whats the point of buying the ION in the first place? It just proves that the ION is a POS. If it was a good gun it would come with a good trigger, board, reg...bla bla bla.

First off, what expierence do you have with ions (probably very little)? Secondly, why won't an upgraded Ion be able to keep up with a timmy? What performance differences are there? What makes on worth 4x more than the other (besides milling)? If you are gonna keep flaming the ion then please present some facts other than "its hoses will blow off," and "Its a POS." And also the ion doesn't need those upgrades I listed. Granted it will perform much better with them and they would make it more fair when comparing it to a timmy, but it doesn't perform poorly without them.

A timmy is capable of 20 some BPS, an ION, 17 BPS, with new boards coming out soon. An ION weighs less thenmost timmys, onyl Abomb and Russian beat it in weight.

Last I checked there wasn't much difference between 17 bps and 20 bps scarface. Just empties your hopper a bit faster...

But I have shot plenty of timmies, and I do like them, but it comes to price/ability comparison, ION gets more bang for the buck.

Some stores refuse to sell timmy's couse of how often they break...
