I'd go with the Ion. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

you, my friend, are an idiot. How are saying the Impulse is a higher quality gun? None of SP's gun's are junk... The Ion is lighter, fast enough for CFOA(if you are playing past CFOA and have either of these, quit playing the game) and has break beam eyes(as opposed to the Imp's vision). You need practically the same upgrades on both(barrell, reg, feedneck, and trigger). Ion, hands down. I hope this helps. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

ION is a much better gun than the IMP and it's cheaper
ION doesn't need any upgrades out of the box to be good, Imp does. IMP's are past their prime, they are too heavy -------------

now now, the Ion does need a new barrell, even though with the Ion's
stock barrell, it's sort of hit or miss, I know a lot of people with
ions, 4 of the 5 needed new barrels, one of them shoots darts with the
stock one. Ion's efficiency isnt that great out of the box either, but still is better than the imps. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

Get an Ion. Easier to snap w/ that a impy cause its lighter. I have an Ion and a viking, and used to shoot an emag. I must say that the Ion shoots better than any imp Ive ever shot before. It shoots very well. I recommend a barrel and a QEV. QEV seemed to make my gun a bit quieter, increased my efficiency, and decreased the kick. Although it doesnt kick that much anyway. Everyone already said too, its cheaper, has BB eyes, and other firing modes. |

I just got an ION and it is by far the best gun i have ever
owned. The IONs are much cheaper and you can get better upgrades for
them.

The ION realy has my attention but I played open ball today and the guys with the IONs really had alot of teething problems. Thanks to a post I read from FOM from RATGuns, I was able to help them pinpoint issues. Things like the sticker surrounding the on/off button keeping you from turning the gun on and air hose/barb leaks. It really makes me hesitate to buy an ION. Side note: Guys with Angels also had alot of problems with their guns. Thank God I got a junky Impulse that just works flawlessly day after day, year after year. |

definately ion imps are slow and tall and there vision eyes cannot compare to the breakbeam eyes
------------- 98% of ion owners think there Ion can own any high end gun, if you want to kick the crap out of those dumbasses put this in your sig! |

It depends what kind of impulse?
If u were talking about base impulse over ion go with the ion. But any PL Impy will kick the crap out of a ion. I know ive owned both. Rats, Stranges, and Nasty impys come with some of the best parts made availiable to impys and surely would be more consistent and faster than an ion. ------------- *Team Compulsive* Sponsors *Won-Ago-Biking* *Curleys Waterfront* |
