Well i just recieved my ion today from punishersPB, i ordered it on thursday and it got here today. It was packed very nicely in an ion box. So i picked it up and tried out the trigger, it was do able but still a little stiff to my liking, i heard from other people on this forum that the stock trigger with the magnet wont be able to reach 10 bps, well there wrong, it is still very easy to walk right out of the box. Even before airing it up i deassembled the gun just to check out the internals and such. It was very easy to take apart. I also bought a Low Rise Feedneck for it, so i installed that to while the gun was still apart. Then i took out the magnet. It wasnt that hard to do. What you do is take a screw driver and put the tip agaisnt the pin, and then you use a hammer to smash the screw driver untill the pin comes out. After i took the magnet out, the trigger pull was amazing. So then i ran outside, gased it up, and NO LEAKS!!!. So then i just let it rip. I shot bout a hopper full, it was VERY FAST, and NO CHOPS! I had about 1000 psi left in my tank and i shot bout a hopper full(Halo, so its about 180 paintballs), and i left out with about 600 psi left. So this leads to about 1300 shots off 4000 on a 68/45 tank. Which i think is very nice. I have owned the fallowing guns: Dm4, Dm5, EGO, Cyborg, Abomb, Ripper2, Predatored Nasty Shocker, Very Nice SFT Shocker, Angel 4 RetroFly, Angel 05 speed, impys, and E-Cockers. My favorites out of these are the EGO and the Dm5, and i still own both. And this gun is up there with the tops. So The ION proves that you dont have to spend over 2000 dollars to have a tourny worthy gun. As far as the 17 bps limit, no one really shoots this fast without bounce or ramp. ^^^Theres probably a lot of grammer mistakes. Im in a hurry to type this so i can get back outside shooting :D Here are the pics (sorry if the pics are a little big, hehe) if pics dont work, go to these links http://tinypic.com/1yx449 - http://tinypic.com/1yx449 http://tinypic.com/1yx45i - http://tinypic.com/1yx45i http://tinypic.com/1z63wh - http://tinypic.com/1z63wh EnJoy =) JYim ------------- http://www.pevs.com - PEVS PAINTBALL Team GoD Like Only God Will Judge Us EKF BallerZ

it looks nice to me, except the one thing that i think would bug me is
the look of the plastic, it looks cheap, i like the nice glossy annoed
aluminum. but i agree with the you dont have to spend over 1500
bux for a good gun statement

I don't really like the Ions. Everyone is getting them and, they are stupid, they are like wanna be shockers made for newbies in speedball. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

so what if there wannabe shockers, they are some of the best guns for the price. It lead me to sell my shocker and dm5.

Nice Ion. Just wondering, aren't you like 14? How do you get a 2 $1,300 guns, 1 $300 gun, and 1 $350 tank? Cool Ion though, the conquest looks good on it. ------------- E-Tek Ego |

What exactley do you hate about the Ion? Sure they look like shockers. Only funny thing is that at my field everyone that has a shockers is always messing with it. Most the time it is either a battery hog or it just don't work so ION'S UNITED. DO NOT FALL TO THE WEAK SHOCKERS!!!!!!!!! ------------- Smartparts Ion Freak Kit Flame Drop forward on/ff Evolution 2 |

I only say that I don'ty like them is because the outer part of them is really ugly. And no last time I played against someone with an Ion I bunkered them. But I do like the Ions cheap fast price though. But I prefer the Shockers over the Ions. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

I had a dark shocker...still perfer the ion. The triggers of both gun
are very different. The dark shocker uses a trigger pin on the trigger,
however the ion's trigger has a curve on the trigger that hits the pin,
the same as dm4,5 triggers. Thus giving the ion a very light and snappy
pull. I have own many guns and this is by far one of the best guns to buy. This is up there with the dm5 and EGO. Guns i own are- Nasty Shocker, Dark Shocker, SFT Shocker, Dm4, Dm5, Anderson Trauma Trix, EGO, Eblade Cocker, Tippys, Cyborgs, Mags, spyders, Impys, stock bodied vikes, angel 4 retrofly, angel 05 speed, and some other guns. (Certified Gun Whore) So i think i would know whats good and what not. Also just used ion in my local novice tourny. And it ripped up the whole field. Only problem is that the stock barrel is totally horrible with the paint im using (draxxus Seconds). CHop Chop Chop. But than i grabbed my stiffi and it was all good =) ------------- http://www.pevs.com - PEVS PAINTBALL Team GoD Like Only God Will Judge Us EKF BallerZ
