Don't know much about this marker. Owner of the local paintball store said he played around with one and said it was really quiet and priced at or around $300. I'd consider picking one up as a decent backup for my A-5 (or a loaner for a friend to use), but only if I can get more info on it.

Haha Ions= aluminum POS. I used an Ion that of a kid on our team has and it was a POS. It had constant problems, the internal hoses blew it leaked every which way you could imagine the thing was just a worthless POS. Save yourself the trouble and don't waste your money. -------------

Been there done that. I've tried many Ions and so far they've all turned out to be a POS..I really don't think thats a coincedence it shows just how bad there. When the kid took it apart to try to fix it the thing look like some cheap plastic toy made in China. Those things are horrible I would take a E-99 over a POS ION. -------------

Well I am willing to wager my Xtreme that you have only shot one ION, that or you are just a dumbass becasue one, they aren't plastic, only thing plastic *inside* an ion is the trigger, which can be changed. -------------

Wow I think you've finally proven your own stupidty. The trigger is not the only thing thats plastic try the entire body. Also that reminds me the trigger is made of plastic it looked like SP cut a plastic spoon in half and glued it together. It feels like if you fart to loud the trigger will break. As I said already I have tried many IONS and they've all turned out to be a POS. Since this statement "plastic, only thing plastic *inside* an ion is the trigger, which can be changed." proves you have no idea what your talking about I would suggest you go climb back into the little hole you came from and don't talk if you don't know what your talking about. I have to wonder if you have ever shot or even looked at a ION. My sides are stilll hurting from laughing at your stupidity. -------------

^^^Read it throughly jackass, he said inside the Ion. The body cover is
on the outside. And who gives if the shell is plastic, then it doesn't
scratch, is lighter, and can be made/sold cheaper. The Ion is a cheap,
good preforming gun, and that's all it's meant to be, not some super
gun. I've had my Ion since 4 days after they came out. Some 10 cases through it now, and the only "issuse" it's ever had was the battery died, whcih happens on all guns. My trigger's never broken, reg hasn't blown up, noid hasn't crapped out, eye's havn't chopped, hoses havn't leaked, nothing. It sounds like you just have a blind hatred for them so you spew garbage to try and sour their reputation. Now my Ion is just a back up to my DM5, but a great back up it is, because I've always been able to count on it. Maybe you'r issuses with Ions, if you really have even used them, are rooted from the marker being smarter than the player. I find it assinine that you would **edited** about their hoses, when your beloved Timmy's ARE EXACTALLY THE SAME. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

Stupid Ion Hater n00b!!!!! JK, but I personally isnt a big fan of Ions. I just dont like the feel of it, but you discribed is some unheard of. Tons of people in this forum got Ions, never complained. I can only remember 1 thread made "Ion help" Outta 142 reviews on PBreview, it got a 9.4. Technically, the body, nor the trigger or plastic, but composite, which is used in the military for many items and equipment. Now Im sure its not military standard composite, but it pretty hard to make weak composite. Try PMing some of the members on the forum that accually own an Ion and see what they think. I really think you are just being ignorant. ------------- You call the Eagle, Eagle does the rest. |

Blind hatred huh..I think your just to blind to see just how much of a POS IONS really are. I'm not sourning thier reputation Im spreading the truth that they're trash.

I used one for 3 months straight before my DM5 came, and I loan it out once or twice a week at leauge and practices, and it's still never had an issuse. If that;s your opinion of trash, then you're just an idiot. Like I said, I don't think it's the Gardner's gift to paintball, but it is a damn nice gun for the price, and it's the best in it's praice range for sure. I think it's crap that you're trying to spread filth and lies that could possibly keep someone from having an inexpensive gun that they will love. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

For around the same price you can get an E-99 which will be just as fast as alot more reliable. Filth huh..sounds to me like your just in denial that you presious ION is a POS. Bugg we've been through this a millin times I don't see what you don't get are you that shallow or just that retarded I have shot MANY IONS some in tournemants I reffed and some team mated that just go them. SO far they've pretty much all had problems and all been a POS. -------------

I do not know how good the Ion is. My local shop got them in and it
felt good in my hands and I figured it would make a great backup and
loaner marker. Well the first one had a defective mode switch and then
the second one had a defective power switch. He only had the 2 in stock
so I got a refund. I probably won't bother to try again.

Except E-99's don't ramp, run higher pressure, have more kick, are bigger, don't have eyes, blow ceals, double fire, and chop. If anything deserves to be called a POS, it's an E-99. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

You cant argue with scarface man, and once everyone learns that hell just leave hopefully. All he does is **edited** about how much every gun besides timmys suck. Personally, ive seen about 15 ions at the field, and they were all shooting great all day long. Kid with an alias sat out 1/2 the day cause he didnt know **edited** about setting up his timmy board, and had his dwell jacked way high up. I could have helped, but he said he knew what he was doing so screw him. Timmy owners suck, plain and simple. ------------- ///AMG What? |

I think ScarFace missed the fact that they didn't make guns before the 4x4.
Personally, I've heard one hell of a lot more good than bad about Ions, I know for a fact they're better than ANY Spyder, and I would suggest buying one. Every gun has it's problems. Timmy grip frames get ripped out of bodies all the time, DM4/5 membranes break really easy, SP ano fades quickly, Angels are expensive as crap, and until this year, couldn't be used with Halos without modification. You find me a gun that doesn't have ANY problems ScarFace, and I'll buy you a cookie. For the price, Ions rock. Ever wonder why the team that won D3 at Orlando used an(might have been 2) Ion[s]? Because they're good guns. That makes sense to me anyway, I don't know about you. Frankly, I don't care either, but the guy who started this thread has the right to correct information, not some crap spouted by an SP hater. For the record, I hated, and still am pissed off at SP for stopping AKA from making guns. But I've come to grips with the fact that business is ruthless, and SPs guns aren't all bad. |

Ugh some people...I know they didn't make guns before the 4x4. Im saying that the 4x4 is the only good gun SP made all thier guns since the 4X4 have been junk.
I haven't. I heard alot more bad things about the Ion then good things.
No they don't thats BS. I have never ripped the grip frames from the body. The only way you can do that is if your a retard. The only problem with Intimidators is the bolt O-rings cause the anno inside the body to fade kind of fast and if you don't have an adjustable ram cap the ram could be misaligned.
I am giving right information it seems like the people who don't except the truth are the ones who own them and refuase to except the truth about thier precious $300 POS. -------------

the fact that some people have opinions, and lives to get on with. And
if the Ion really is that bad, get one that actually workds, and try it

had a TIMMY, was having more problems than a guy who had an Ion.
Anyways, for the buck, i would prefer the Ion. Btw, the guy who owned the Ion said he had a few small problems with the Ion an first, but now its working perfectly.  ------------- Tippman A-5: 14" Dye Excel Barrel Double Trigger Remote Coil Tippmann A-5 Solid Stock Polished Internals Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stop Mod Plans: New Paintball Gun |

And I would like to know what EXAXCTLY was wrong with it. The kid was probably a retard who didn't know how to use it thats how most of the problems start in Timmys, user error. The ION is just manufactured cheaply so it has more random problems like a trashy reg that leaks, hoses that blow bla bla bla. Again the difference is the Timmy has problems most of the time because of user error Ions problems are caused by thier cheap POS quality. -------------

It probably wasn't even a valve it was probably the cup seal it seems you don't even know so I have to wonder if your just spewing out BS to try to make the Timmy sound bad. The guys an idiot period.

I bought my Timmy with my own money and it is by far way better then anything Smart Farts will ever make. Everything they make is a POS. If you think the ION is a great gun then your either a) plain and simple retarded and ignorant or b) to poor to afford anything else so your stuck with a POS that you have convinced yourself is a great gun. -------------

How do you know that the problems in ions aren't from user error? It's just as likely as the problems in timmies being caused by user error. And the "crappy reg that blew up" you keep talking was probably caused because the kid that had the ion aired it up without first lowering the intake pressure. That happens a lot. ------------- Signatures are **edited** |

Scar boy is just a habitual smart parts flamer on these boards and any comments he makes about any smart parts products should be simply thrown out of your mind and straight to the trash can. I really can't believe anyone here actually still pays attention to his redundant repetitious deceptive spam about smart parts products. If you believe one word of what he types in these threads, you must be a foo. Don't even bother responding to his posts, it just makes him feel as though his opinion is as inflated as his ego. Meh, now he has a Timmy, I'm quite sure it makes him a much better player cuz as we all know, an expensive marker enables you to make better decisions and gives you magical powers on the field and in forums such as this one lol -

Really well look at this
So it seems like when people listen to me they make good choices..maybe its because I know what Im talking about and that SP guns are trash. So if anyone had 2 brain cells (which you obviouly dont since you still think SP guns are actually good) they would listen to me. Also I never owned an EGO (I would never want to) and as far as the Timmy in comparison with SP guns the Timmy is way better. You should really get your head our of your butt, maybe one day you'll see how much of a POS Smart Parts guns are. -------------

Wow, this is the first thread I have read on this forum that got this heated. I have shot a lot of markers and owned a few. I liked the ION because it had all the features of some more expensive markers, but was in the price range people could afford. While not the best, and apparently some have grudges/issues against, it is a good marker and with proper care will do you good. It is my pick from the litter, but...I am a woods/scenario player that loves his A-5. ------------- Proven Evolving A-5 |

I stopped by the local shop yesterday and he had piles......upon piles of ION part's. The only way they could get the hundreds of guns was if they were shipped in parts. It appears that some of the gun is cast. They almost seem disposable bu they are very fast. One guy that I was talking to that plays for Wicked Air Sportz says the only reason he like his shocker better is that the shocker shoots further. They performed a nice little test to prove this. Other than that he likes the ION. I'll get one.

How can his shocker "shoot farther"? No gun can shoot farther unless they have the velocity spiked way up or have a system that puts a back spin on the ball like the FL barrel. Truthfully this shop owner doesn't seem to know what hes talking about. -------------

truthfully YOU should accept the fact that some people don't have as
much money as you, while still looking for a good gun, and they choose
something like the Ion, while it may have problems at first, they can
be worked out. Just because they aren't buying a timmt doesn't mean the
gun they ARE getting is a "POS".........
