why does everyone have an ion my friend said it sucks cause its made out of plastic, but i dont think hes right

[doublethreatguy]

1)Not made out of plastic.
2)Very customizable.
3)You can get different body kits for them
4)They use HPA.

Why do you ask? Looking to buy a new gun?

EDIT: I only named a few. People can add onto my list.

The body shell is plastic....
What is so good? Made by Smart Parts....Electro-Pneumatic for 200-250 price range. Very affordable. High quality marker that shoots fast. Very popular marker.

im guessing he says it sucks because

a. he cant afford one

or

b. he bought a more expencive marker that basically performs the same

Seriously, ions are great

[doublethreatguy]

Yep, forgot about that.... The Ion is like the biggest seller going now....ICD bushmaster is in the $200 range but not as popular....

[jason21292]

whats an eye?

[studd_2212]

you either have reflective eyes or break beam eyes with are sensors in the breech that read whether or not you have a paintball ready to fire that way if the ball doesn't load the gun won't fire which keeps you from breaking paint...thats the simple explanation

Don't forget to use your freedom of search

Ions are good, there not that great. The body is plastic..... enough said. But they are cheap for what type of gun your getting. Thats what makes it pretty good. But i wouldn't want to own one.

They are now coming out with guns that are even cheaper then the Ion with the same performance. So we'll see what happens now.

Theres Breakbeam/Bouncebeam/Laser eyes. They see paint in your breech of the gun (place where the balls drop down to below your feedneck). It's basically what decides your chopping factor or turning your gun into a blender or not, but sometimes bad paint can do that too.

Ions are cheap and you will get cheap results from them, they weren't made to be amazing guns, they are just a cheap, alright gun for the cash.
