Any electro hopper will work fine on an ION. Do not get a non-electro hopper you will outshoot the hopper. -------------

As long as its the stock board, I suggest getting an eggy. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| I have a personal vendetta against Eggs, but they are probably the most reasonable way to power the Ion. |

Halo B, speaking of that whats the diff between a Halo B and Empire reloader B? |
Posted By: hybrid-sniper

Halo's use an eye to determine when to feed; Reloaders use a board that recognizes the sound of the gun. Whenever the gun fires, the Reloader feeds. Reloader B's also come stock with the Rip Drive. |

Halo's are overkill, unless you buy the new predator board for the ion. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

Overkill= good. You wouldn't ever out shoot you gun with a halo B. |

You would know but, The ion has a latch insted of a dent? Thats weird. If it has a dent, theres always after market ones that could handle it. |

| wait...the ball detent is the little thing to the left or right thats round and goes in and out right? If so then ive never had any problems with it |

Detents, not a latch. I use a Halo B just cause I never have to worry about out shooting my hopper, and I think Eggs are really ugly plus I heard the feednecks tend to snap. -------------

| a halo b would be your best best so then if you ever get a faster gun you will have a hopper to work with it,but an egg 2 would work very well |

The problem is if he gets a halo he will need to buy a new ball detent. Its much easier to just get the $60-70 eggy. It will be fast enough and much cheaper. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| eggy- its fast enough and a lot lighter than a halo b or empire b. a empire reloader would work to probaly, but that is pusshing it... u would probaly over shoot that, if u were in any mode bsides semi. but an egg is ur best bet. light and fast enough |

well maybe you should hear from someone who actually owns and ion and has used both of those hoppers, the eggy is light and the shape is good if you like to move bunkers with your barrel, but the halo b feeds way faster and cracking feednecks on a halo b are alomst unheard of. also personally i cant stand the eggy's lid it opens down and it was hard to reload, im glad im a small guy or i would have gotten murdered during one particular airball game. ------------- teamtriggerhappy.com eatonpaint.com wevopaintball.com |

| ive played with an ion before nice marker but if your using the semi mode not ramping u might as well put a revy on top of if the trigger is slow, but if you got ramping up go with an egg or empire B |

ramping is illegal you shouldnt do that, i mean its horrible why some people would ramp on poor unsuspecting players, thats shameful ------------- teamtriggerhappy.com eatonpaint.com wevopaintball.com |

Not always illegal. I am aware that PSP ramping is allowed in PSP tournies. There are other exceptions to the "omg ramping is teh 1llegal", but PSP ramping I'm sure of is legal in some circumstances. |
