| It will work best on Nitro/HPA, but it can work on Anti-Siphoned C02. |

Anti Siphoned C02 tanks have a bent tube inside to help prevent liquid C02 from entering the gun. This would have to be installed on your tank by your local proshop. Running straight C02 is not something I would recommend. |

Anti-siphoned Co2 will work but not very good. HPA is the way to go. -------------

Yes, that would work okay. Expect 700-850 shots. |

do u guys reccommend a electric hopper? ------------- tippman rules |

Sporatic, meaning the velocity may be a bit jumpy at first, at least until you put at least a case of paint AND air through the gun. With the Ion, an electric hopper is pretty much mandatory. A gravity will not do the ion justice. |

so i will need to get a electric hopper. would u guys reccommend a veiw loader evolution or revolution?? or should i get a different one, and if so what one? ------------- tippman rules |

| Evolution, because that is just as fast as the Ion is. |

yea. you need nitro or u could screw up the gun and it will freeze the reg so much when shootin fast u wont be able o hold it. and u will deff need a electro hopper. the egg (evo II) works great. so for a decent setup it will be Gun- 300 Nitro- 200 (give or take) Egg- 80 Total- AROUND 580 (give or take w/e deals/ where u get the stuff) -------------
