| Well the fad you speak of sure does rip up everyone... I think it's more than a fad, I think it's an aweosme, affordable gun. More and more upgrades come out and more and more people buy the Ions... I am glad to be a part of this fad. |

I am not sure if what he says is true or not, because I have never seen an ion IRL, but...
If you think plastic is a bad thing, open up your tippmann. Powertube and front bolt are plastic, they are probably the two most reliable parts in the gun. The rear bolt/sear wears over time, but that front bolt keeps chuggin'. -------------

I open mine after every day of play. The valve tube is aluminum, the back bolt is steel. The macro is plastic, as well as the body shell, trigger and gauge window. to the original poster...pick one up and disassemble it before being an ass...I truly doubt if you have the one you say you do (sig) you wouldn't even have posted. ------------- 68 Classic Mag; PMI .68 Magnum; Maxed Stage5 Ion; M98 Scenario creation in the works; - You EPunks are all alike-all mouth until you reach the tailgate section of the field...then you "were j/j" |

that's probably what the ion got the nickname "fisher price shocker". I
don't have a problem with guns being plastic. I'm not about to go
smashing my gun against a rock. Take care of your stuff, it'll last (of
course I'm a good one to talk, my 98C valve assembly is cracked)
