I recently took 25 new players to a field where we were all given an Ion as a rental.

Problems (If you can call them that):

-Some of the guns were in burst mode. The refs said to play anyway, after not being able to convince the gun to stay in Semi.

-Difficulty using power button while wearing gloves.

-Eye related problems.

The semi/burst and eye problems I will openly say were because none of us had ever used one before, and we were told nothing other than how to turn it on and off. They were field rental guns, so you know they were beat on constantly. This is probably much of the power buttons problem.

And one of the guns had the trigger break. In half.

Otherwise they worked good.

In all honesty, they worked Too Good. Some of the first timers got shot up a lot more than they would have liked.

However, if I had been forced to rent a gun and compete as a walk on, I would have liked the fact that my rental gun could keep up fairly well.

Now with that out of the way, and my acknowledgment that they will get the job done:

I still have no desire to own one myself. If I am going to buy a new gun, I'll throw down an extra $50-100 bucks and buy something else used.
