Lucky Paintball is basically redesigning the Ion. New breech, new firing chamber, new bolt, new eyes, and new body......and they are only putting out 99 of the new bodies to make it more of a collector's item.

With a Target release date of October 1, 2005

Introducing the Lucky Stage 5 body kit
Features will include:
-Only 99 will be sold.

Another thing coming for the ion that should be amazing if it gets off the ground is Adrenaline-pb.com 's new body/board combo. The board will be awesome anyway (enormous amounts of modes, etc, new solenoid, pc connectivity), but they are working on a body that when working with the board will be able to set and gauge the FPS...

I'm beginning to like lucky paintball alot now. They are releasing a board for the proto that lets it take DM4/5/C chips so it will no longer require flashing. I cant wait
