lol. 'post reply' to this one... ::mumbles something inaudibly:: but it's all for the best - ions are not gods great gift to paintball... but they are a great gift indeed...
let me first say that i have an ion... it's nice. i also have a pm5, now i can shoot my ion or my pm5 and do the same thing on the field either way - so why spend the extra money? 'cause the pm5 or whatever high end marker you have has extra style, feel, and capabilities... it's soo much easier to take a pm5 and start ripping, and it looks cooler too... but i have a virtue in my ion and it shoots about as fast... it's just not as smooth... i guess you'd have to feel it... lol...
the ion does not by any means suck - but they're not as amazing as a lot of people claim, but they dont suck... i've tinker'd with my ion so much it's more like a high end marker now - but it's still not... and it's still just an ion... but it's an impressive ion!
i'd have to say the best thing about my ion though is how personal it is to me, i had to have my proto anodized to make it feel like my own marker - but the ion, even though most of my upgrades are simmilar to other peoples upgrades, i put them in myself and tinker'd with them myself... it's totally my marker...
i dont think it's quite fair though for you to say ions and people with them suck - it's hard to afford to play paintball, buy a car, go to college, pay rent, bills etc - and then fork out 1k+ for a high end marker... if you can even afford to play at all... i've seen so many great players 'stuck' with ions 'cause it's all they can afford - and they kick arse with them! and when they brag they dont brag about the marker, but use it in the arguement that they just whooped up on some other people with it...
so this thread really wasn't necessary - and neither is your 'hate' for ions... get over it guy, if your marker is nice, than great! but if you keep getting whipped by players with ions and are upset - keep it to yourself...
