Ions Rock!

But if you listen to nothing else listen to this, if you pay silly money for a gun, like a G7 for example, it still wont fire 15bps (or other rates of fire) any better than an ion.

At the end of the day, its how much you want to pay for a gun, and what you like the feel / look of ... thats it.

Merry Xmas everyone.

Ions rock my socks, and about 95% of our team as well!

The fact is, every tournament will be capped at 15.4bps next year. So 17bps, 20bps, 50bps it doesnt make a difference because you cant use it! You can go buy something for 1000quid but i'll be happy shooting the same speed for a fifth of the cost.

Lets put it in plain english:
If you were to buy an ion, when dusty is offering this awsome (and beautiful) A4 JDfly, then quite frankly you are insane.
I know many people with ions and 99% of them have been back to SP in the past year at least twice, because the fault is too serious to repair themselves.
Where as a 10 year old can take an angel appart and clean/rebuild it, or even diagnose a fault.

The way i see it,

Ion £180
new feedneck £25
New barrel/s £30
new on/off and rail £30
inevitably new body £27

total £292

Just spend the few extra quid now and buy a top of the range marker second hand.

not even necessarily mine!!

well thats utter BS i dont kno any1 that had a problem with an ion. i kno roughly 20-30 people with them so surely with ure accurtate figure of 99% of guns going back to smart parts then roughly 27 of them guns must of gone back? UH-UH wrong! none of them have!

WHy spend **** loads on a "top end gun" when u can have a gun that is light, small and fast but at a damm good price?!?

And just look for deals on the net or on the forums! be sure to pick up an ion bargain!
