as we know the ion has been one of the biggest his on the paintball market, but it now looks like the ion has started to spread into the zone of scenario. even the tippmans may be out of action soon due to the ion.

Armotech uk charge 325 quid for a "scenario ion" Dont get me wrong armotech uk are cool and that but its defo not my thing.

So your extra 150 quid on top of ur ion price gets you: A heat shield on the barrel (cause we all know the barrel gets dead hot at high ROF), a "silencer" so I can snipe and a stock which isnt all that great.

Meh..

Dude, if someone comes up with a good ion kit that actually looks something like a real gun, it's going to own tippmans.


Cheap price + Low Pressure+ Ramping = a mother****ing machine gun!



Add some style, and you're in business!

Hmmm, wonder how much Sheriff would hurt me if I turned up to training with one of those kits installed

Oh, and Rosie - you might wanna talk to the Wild Geese Scenario team before making lame hater comments like that, they've been running Ions since Flashpoint this year and are very happy with them (most of them used to use modded Tippy's funnily enough!)
Still, I suppose jealousy breeds resentment which turns to hate (which leads to the dark side of the force)

Ok i probably misread the thread i was talking about site markers: yeah maybe scenarioers will change to ions i don know

it may change but the tippy is still the most customizeable marker

but i suppose the tippy will never be a tourney marker whereas the ion is pretty versatile it can go at any level?


just was saying these particular markers probably wont replace Tippmans or infernos as site markers as they arent tough enough. and by site markers i mean the marker the site buys and lets punters (80% who have never seen a marker) throw around/bounce off trees, drop in holes full of water ecetera

but youre talking about scenarioers so...my bad...ignore me please

But you gotta ask yourself one question ...
