i've been paintballing for like 3 years now, so i got alil knowlegde in this area from reading mags, theres alot of talk and most people say they only like this is a back up gun, one shop owner got like 7 ions, 4 worked and like 2 chopped and leaked outta the box, so give it alil more time and keep reading up, and more will come, and more upgrades to fix these new issues, everything have problems the 1st year theyre made

Yea I went to the field with mine yesterday and i have one word, NASTY. The thing didnt chop once (excluding the time i shot it with the barrel condom on DOH). The gun has next to no recoil, its ridiculous and I was extremely suprised that with the Zap Tork I was shooting so straight, the stock barrel was perfect, all my shots were right on, i was just shooting ropes. Althought i will probably grab a barrel kit for it soon just so i can have good bore to paint matches. The reg is a bit uncomfortable and I'm probably gonna grab CP reg or a Gladiator when i get around to it. Just about everyone there just had to shoot a hopper-full with it and everybody loved it. This one kid even called a couple of his friends over and they shot 1/2 of a case with it at the chrono because they loved the feel of it so much. The only complaints i got was that the trigger sucked and i totally agree, i hate the trigger, i took the magnet out and it shoots a bit better but it still sucks, i cant wait to grab a roller trigger for it when one comes out. In game it was absolutely sweet on semi it could keep up with me no matter what and with rebound (cheater) i could single finger it up to 17 BPS no problem. My only regret about its in game play is that i go through paint too fast, the thing clears my hopper in seconds. Even if you have a timmy or a dm5 or whatever, buy it as a backup and fun gun, if you wanna play in the rain or just f**k around, this gun is perfect. Who cares if you scratch it? the polymer skin is replaceble. This has to be one of the most durable markers I've ever seen. I used to freak out when i scratched my gun that was Anno'ed but now I could care less cuz even if i light the beotch on fire, i can go throw out the jacket and buy a new one, no big deal. All in all, for $300, NOTHING CAN BEAT IT. All you SP Haters can go to hell, I'm sure the '05 BKO will be nice but unless they make some MAJOR changes to the old BKO for it to come anywhere near the Ion. So if you guys got the money sitting at home, buy it. OK, thats it for my rant, hope you all enjoyed it  |

i like how there small and light but that trigger is one of the worst ttiggers i have ever used that is my main dislike about them. That is why i would take the wrath over the ION.

Well i took the return magnet out of my trigger, that made it a little better. But i still would rather use my wrath. the wrath is noticibly easier to rip on, faster too.
