Anyone ever used one? Is it better than an ion? (The reason I ask is i'm looking to buy a new gun for all types of fields, and i prefer hand positioning on the SP8 over the Ion, but i don't necessarily prefer the 100 dollars extra I would pay for that) so are there any other differences besides the body?

dont get the sp8, get the ion, the sp8 looks retarded

**burningcow422** · November 1st, 04:31 PM

it IS an ion. just a retarded one. shoots exactly the same.

**chromekilla** · November 1st, 04:46 PM

It's not a retarded ion, it's teh same exact one you have, just geared towardsa differant type of player.

Unless you play only on the woods and in scenerio's I would not suggest the sp8

Eek, double post

Well, held a SP8 today, the thing is awsome. Wouldnt step onto a xball field with it, but cool nonetheless.

It is a tad bit heavier, seeing as how there is alot more metal to this thing, no not all that stuff is plastic. It would feel kind of goofy with a hopper on it, but would be pretty neat with a qloader.

Good For Woods Ball..

**Sittin_duk** · November 2nd, 10:45 PM

Anyone have a pic of the SP8?

I tried googling it, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

**Sham3d** · November 3rd, 09:48 AM

Those were from SmartParts.com They are the only ones I know of right now.

**Sham3d** · November 3rd, 09:50 AM

I don't undersand why it doesn't have a Stock. It should come with it or something.

**chromekilla** · November 3rd, 10:09 AM

The stock and other accesories are going to be available for purchase in about a month.

And yes, I suppose they could have put the stock on it, but then the gun would cost $50 more

Why not? It shoots the same as an ION, hell, I've played x-ball with tippys. I dont understand why it would be anny different than the ion, except more people would laugh at you and call you stupid.

**sharpeye3000** · November 3rd, 08:42 PM

its good but for woods.. def wouldnt go onto speedball with it

**wgpballa** · November 3rd, 08:57 PM

Why not??? I mean, I wouldn't play a tourny season with one, or use one primary, but I'd play a game or too with one.

ROFL

***LILGERBER*** · November 3rd, 09:22 PM

you do that////....

***WarpedG4*** · November 3rd, 10:04 PM

i just dont like how its not vert feed.. clearly its meant to have a sight on it or something. Defiantly geared more for woodsball

**chromekilla** · November 4th, 12:20 AM

Exactly, its not vert feet, heavier, and more baulky. Great for the woods, but not something I wouild use on the xball field when I have my proto, Ions and shockers to choose from.

Yes it will shoot just as nice, it just wont feel as good in your hands though in those circumstances.

***EvilMan30*** · November 6th, 01:16 PM

are the stocks going to be available soon they would prolly help with the feel and control

**chaoticprophecy** · November 9th, 06:18 AM

Well they do work for woods and what not. I would not reccamend one for airball. It would not work so well.

**jaggy13** · November 9th, 10:21 AM

I saw the potential for a mil sim in the ion when it first came out. I think this is a great idea. And keep in mind those "MIL Sim'ers" like to sight down the top or install a scope.
Someone that has one locally compare it to the weight of the A5, I bet its lighter...
