It's been out for two weeks, you have no way of knowing how reliable it is. It's not easily field strippable, but how often do you actually do that anyways? I know I never have. -------------

| Diablo's Wrath is an even worse gun-from what I've heard the Ion seems to be pretty good. Smaller, lighter, uglier, and faster than the Wrath. Maybe SP did something right for once-I don't really know. |

Wrath works like a BKO, spring returned ram design. Ion is a spool
valve, like a matrix or a shocker. Ion has one moving part, meaning
less maintainance(spelling sucks.), less to screw up. The Wrath is just
a T1 with break-beam eyes. I'd go with an ion. It's just more of a high
end gun.

i agree about the part of dont listen to the SP haters cause they just dont like SP. but i disagree with the part where u say its plastic. its not made out of plastic. only the shell is. and that can be replaced with just a few bucks and a minute to put on. THE ONLY PLASTIC IS THE SHELL, THE REST OF THE GUN IS NOT. keep in mind that the shell is not that expensive and not that important. it just adds a color to the gun. and also sorta protects it. ------------- I BREAK WALMART BLADES!!! i have no gun right now...

Someone needs a check up from the Neck UP!, lol. Anyway. Ion>Wrath. My friend got the Wrath I got the Ion. Ion is better overall. The Dragon TES is claimed 20bps and the Mongoose Reincarnation is claimed 21bps. But the question is how fast can you get it up to that speed. Stats dont mean **edited** till you actually shoot the gun. Btw ive shot all the guns ive named above. |
