the ion is accurate but my friends ion will not work in the cold. he used compressed air but if it is to cold outside the gun will not shoot. idk if all ions do tht but his does. so if it was up to me i would try and get the sp-1 or a tippmann 98 with a flatline barrel
the sp-8 is an ion with a body kit not the sp-1. and he tried tht but it still wouldnt work. he had to replace the board in his gun because it kept on freezing
? the board kept freezing? Another solution that would help for cold weather would be to increase the dwell to compensate for any bolt stick you may be getting due to cold weather.
lets see g3 and slg are not ions or the tippman 98. why not say get an etek, protege, ego, dm9. If I had to pick between a tippman or ion I would pick the ion.
true for the most part but if you have an ion your going to use a lot more paint not necesarily waist but use a lot more then with a tippmann because they just shoot faster.
Compressed air / Nitrogen is terminology used for the same thing. A compress air tank is air that we breath compressed into a tank, most of the air that we breath is nitrogen so basically your shooting compressed nitrogen. You might get away with CO2 with anti siphon, and I see guys shoot C02 through their ions. But Compressed Air/ Nitrogen will be much more consistent and easier on you markers internals.
Depends on how much paint per game you shoot, if you plan on shooting more than 4 pods on a stock ion then get at least a 68/4500. Right now Myth tanks are pretty cheap.
no need to invest so much money in upgrades for an ion... with all that money you could have bought a pmr with a UL frame.... which is way better and it shoots 30 bps
08 vice, 06 ego, 07 ego, 08 Naughty dogs shocker, 08 ion, 08 Rapper, 08 Legend, Quest (primary, PMR and 07 ion. working on getting droid or 09 ego. Not listing guns I no longer own.

CCM SS-25 pump, Spyder compact 2 in one pump conversion (thanks for hook up shannon), 2 samurai, Raptor, tippman 98 right now I for get the rest. Now let the pissing contest begin.
that was take two if you look the paintball from less than 5 feet away bounces back at him after hitting the target, no way that is going 285-300fps. 285-300 with a target 5 feet away I think even monster balls would break every time. I've shot my ion that fast with a qloader and the dwell all the way down. Hell I've done that in training mode on most of my markers. take one and three are like 9 seconds. Either way its still a fast ion.
dude, ijust got a DYE hyper 3 reg, and the APE board for my ion, im savin up for a torque with 440 motor, so i can do a vid of it shooting a true 30bps
I never understood why people upgraded an ion so much.. its still an ion.. and even if it ripped.. its a fucking ion.. its never gonna get you the respect fo having a higher end gun.. even a pmr.. but an upgraded ion looks like you just wasted a shyt load of money for a cheap ass gun... when you culdve prob bought a pmr
wow dumb asses just keep coming. Mr. lame ass PBShootout check my other vidz. I do have a PMR guess what its also ridiculously upgraded. Hell I have way more vidz to come just have to find the time. If you bothered to check my other videos money is not an issue I just buy stuff and see what can be done to it. Keep an eye out for my vice with yakuza, 4 eyes and lp poppit. Sorry you feel that way my gun skills get me all the respect I need, guess all you have is a good gun biatch. Skills not gun!!
money to burn baby money to burn, reading is not for forte is it? Money is not an issue so I figure what the hell? My ego did not need upgrades but I put new board, new reg, new trigger, new bolt, new feed neck, new eyes, new barrel, new asa, new grips, new ram cap and new detents. Did my ego need any of these upgrades hell not, but I did it anyway!!! Hell I even dump upgrades into my pump, its not any faster. Money not an issue read money not an issue.
i agree totaly its the person shooting the gun that counts not the gun u can hand me a view loader and ill still destroy people guns dont matter somtimes but not really guns arnt good if u cant aim for shit
Don't ever fucking buy an ion because you end up spending so much money on upgrades that instead you could have bought something nice and even after all teh upgrades it still sux. Just do like me, buy a SL8R BIATTCH!
Look at this guy another idiot. My current marker inventory is. Ion silver sold for .....$1000.00.I got another one and upgraded it even more.06 ego (upgraded) may not be as light or air efficient as an 08 but I have yet to be out shot by another, Quest, legend, Naughty Dog's shocker, Autococker Pump, DP F8, and loads of mechanical markers (lend out). I don't know about you but money is not an issue. I got close to $15,000 in paintball related stuff. At the end marker does not make the player.
I ran out of space. I mow guys using SL8R, Marq, Vices, Protege, Angels, etc, with my ion all the time, when it was stock or upgraded. So the comment on don't ever by an ion made by the tard zigge9631 is made out of pure ignorance. Ion with a decent reg and barrel kit shoots just fine stock. The dumb ass response on could have bought something nice like a SL8R, that personal preference. I know guys that will not trade their upgraded tippman for anything why because to them their tippman is nice.
Mini's are pretty cool too. I plan on getting one if a good deal pops up. Right now I have an impulse, quest, ion, 06 ego, 07 PMR, tippmann 98, rebel, spyder compact 2 in one, samurai, DP F8 and more to come. Some people collect stamps I go for paintball markers.
I have an 06 Ego shot an 07 which is not any faster, my ion is faster than my EGO. It's about having a custom marker. It's also fun to see the faces of people with egos after they get taken out with an ion. The ego is more consistent, less maintenance, just all around more reliable.
nice, but you need the L7 Techt Ion Bolt, look it up, its the lightest, and best bolt in paintball, it will bring your ion to a whole new level, also get a virtue QEV
well the bolt is real nice to have, it maxamizes the size of your firing chamber lowering your dwell while raising your rate of fire, it also makes it a more air efficient gun, personally i have a deadly winds tactical ion with some ups (qev, drop w/ on off,cp trigger, L7 bolt, the body kit, and such) As soon as i put that bolt in i instantly notice it was quieter, and more air efficient. I was merely suggesting a good up, but its really your choice. Sweet ion btw.
its NOT the lightest bolt, they just say it is, the DeadlyWind HollowPoint Ion bolt is the lightest, it weighs just 7.4 grams. it is 1.1 gram lighter than the L7.
Nice marker, But not to bash or anything, an ion still shoots like an ion. I've seen wayyyy to many ion's at the field so i took a step up and got a shocker. Stuck a virtue in there and I was good to go. All in all I like your gun's color. 10/10 for putting the time into each of your guns and not being like a rich kid and buying the top of the line markers.
Actually money is not an issue, currently I own an impulse, ion, pmr + 8 other markers from the days when there where no electronic markers. Been doing this since 94, I just upgrade what I can get my hands on. Currently I am working on picking up a quest. Sorry for not buying into the hype. I use the ion for rec play and to show off. Can your shocker empty a full vlocity in 7 seconds eyes on not a single chop at 290 fps. I must admit the shocker nxt's are pretty smooth.
Not sure what my shocker can do acutally. I really dont need to shoot that fast anyways.Maybe another shocker owner can do it but my fingers cant hit extremely fast rates just enough to lay a rope down. And i havent chopped a ball yet in my gun. Thumbs up for upgrading each marker.
what color did you get? just ordered NIB dust blue Quest hope its good for a $800.00 marker. Soon as I get the quest in I'll post vidz of my other stuff.
dont you love how on any ion video, nobody talks about the video. they go on bitching what the better gun is. get a life and stick to your own opinon instead of bitching to someone else on youtube.
I agree I have an ion, impulse, tippmann, PMR, a few spyders, and only looking at getting more markers. I have big $ invested in each gun so yes I could buy an ego, shocker, PM7, Onyx, timmy etc. My so called crappy ion still gets those so called high end marker owners checking my ion out. I hang with the best of them and my marker of choice to play with is the ion because its cheap and can keep up with the best of them, so I don't worry about breaking it.
That's what you say but my ion turns the heads of owners of PMR's, Ego's, shockers etc. They all scratch their heads and can't believe how fast it is. I get checked at my local field all the time for ramping which I don't during a game. PMR faster hell no smoother yes but faster nope. Dude check my other video my ion is faster than my PMR. Right now I am looking at getting an angel or legend.
