I like the Ion over the 04 BKO. The reason for that is that the Ion has vision. If you like the bko then wait for the 05 to come out. It also has vision and looks like a good gun. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

The bko looks way nicer, but the ion is more reliable! the ion looks ugly but oh well as long as it works good, right? Well as far as shooting i would say that the ion probably shoots faster also it has an eye. but with the bko you can adjust the trigger pull! well i would go with the ion, have you seen those things shoot? they are pretty fast.... i think faster than the bko! ------------- http://www.planeteclipse.com/ego/default.asp?swf=EgoBps.swf ^click here to see if you can walk your mouse^ Gun set up: WDP lcd Angel w/ smart parts drop forward |

Thank you all so much. I heard the bolt on the bko is
terrible. Im pretty sure u can adjust the trigger oull on the ION
too though. Ya, i was hesitant about the bko cuz of the neg.
reviews about the reg. and the bolt, but now im basiccally convinced.
GO ION! ScarFace22 - I think you need to reconsider, or simply watch the video again: WWW.SMARTPARTS.COM |

Ok, I've now seen you post in several threads about how "Ions stink". Is there any material proof to back this statement, or is this just comming from an irrational hatred towards the Ion, Smart Parts, or common jeolousy...? Explain... ^anyway, about the trigger adjusting, yes, you can adjust it, and you can basically max out the board on rebound mode with little adjustment on the trigger. ------------- Black Smart Parts Ion Halo B Check-It Unimount macroline 68/45 Pure Energy tank |

Jelous pff yea right. Buddy I have nothing to be jelous about giving that my Alias is way better then anything Smart Parts will ever make. Sorry that I'm not a naive fool that believes all the BS the Smart Farts thorws out there. I've been down that road before and in return I got a POS Impy that was a constant..well..POS. On to the ION and why its a POS. Lets see to start with the whole thing is made of freaking plastic..how cheap can you get. The solnoid coil is fully exposed and when while doing maintenece its easy to screw it up. The wiring is junky (from what I've heard) and it still uses the same old junky solnoids that will randomly take a poop on you at any moment. I can't wait till they all start to break down and people turn on them like they did the Impy. -------------

DAMN STRAIT! At the field I play at, 4 guys got Ions, the first day the regs creeped and they blew hoses, and 2 of the guys had their solenoids go out... How freakin' crappy can you make a gun for ~$300? go with the BKO, or save a little more money and get the 05' BKO, it has pds and is faster than the Ion right out of teh box, plus ICD has way good customer service. ------------- shootin' a stock A-5

Man I haven't been here for quite a while but just came back to see what the 'Smart Parts Haters Club' has to say about the infamous Ion. One of them has an Atomix banner in his sig who are totally sponsored by Smart Parts and also exclaims that he hates Tippmann. Scarface is still up to his redundant SPHC posts about what's wrong with every marker except the PO-DooDoo that he has lol. Smart Parts does it once again and there's nothing you can do about it mooooohhhhahahahahahaha!!! They're selling tons and tons of these markers and are like 10,000+ in back orders because they have released a marker that has a great price by a very reputable company. People are selling their high priced markers and buying the Ion. I will have one as soon as I can get one wholesale which is almost impossible at this time. Light, fast, inexpensive, will have tons of upgrades by summer time, made by genius marketeers......why in the world would you even consider a BKO? lol. Booowwwhhahahahahahahaha!!!!!
DRAGON awaits the furious whimsical crys of the jealous SPHC with a satisfied smirk on his face

i personally dont think that just because the ION is made of polymyre,
than its a peice. I mean come on man, the reason u hated ur impy
is because there heavy and bulked, and they arent all that
special. The ion is a great gun, honestly, i don't think SP will
make a gun that is as bad as the imp. because thy noticed how much ppl
hate it, they have improved there methods and made a high end gun with
awesome action, for an affordable price, and i think u have something
against that because u made a mistake by buying an imp. Poor Child Cry me a river.......
