Ion at SPE...

A handfull of AOers were at SPE (Spring Pump Event) in Bloomington, IL this past weekend. Phangs had a pump Ion. All the electronics were gone. I told him he needed to put it up on PBN as an Ion w/ MASSIVE ups

Most everyone thought is was a big improvement on the gun.

I'd honestly be doing the same thing, but it seems that in order to actually acquire SP stuff, you have to benefit their company in some way... unless you get it for free one way or another.

To share my thoughts on SP parts on AGD/AKA/AM/AnybutSP guns, I think it's a tragedy. The worst part is when someone has a perfectly good gun from any of those companies, then tops it off with a Freak or Max-Flo. I find that immensely disappointing and if a point system is involved, they are awarded none.

I wish someone would hold a patent against them suggesting that the Ion infringes on a previous design, and have them pay retroactively on top of immediate and future payouts.

Just think of the ramifications of $400 Ions... :)

A number of us are trying to do this via the Edelman patent.

Who did the ano?

I was going to suggest we pass it around, get it polished up and garage anno'd, but that might detract from the raw art form. Besides, polishing teeth marks would be tricky.

Crap don't anodize. Would look better Christened in Gardner blood IMHO.

I have a few smartparts pieces that would look better with your mods... I may have to send them up, or maybe I should try to imitate your art myself

Do I see TEETH MARKS? LOL

I believe so. I think he should have used the 'soft" jaws in the bench vice!

[Spider-TW]

I think a matching body kit would be good. It should be 'baked' for that rare color (and shape).

With a patented pvc barrel.

what would be even better is if you mounted rest of an ion to it and sold it as custom milled and it fetched 1000351351 $

The sole purpose of this thread is to generate awareness of what SP is doing to paintball.Many of us sit on the sidelines and can do nothing, me included. This is all I can think of.
I honestly feel that these guys will stop at nothing, and just let their own greed tear down the sport with them.
It's a damned shame, and it was never meant to be this way.
I wish to remind you all that when a company like AGD invented something really profound, (i.e. high pressure air systems) that they chose the path that was in the best interest of the sport, not themselves. One might say,'where did it get them?'
And I would say, they have earned the respect of our community, with honors.
Smart Parts might be making money with all their licensing agreements, but I hope that when Bill or Adam looks in the mirror, he knows that he's looking at a liar and a cheat.
This is not over for me yet. I still have a few posts to make, and make them I will.
Til' then,

You should mail it in to Smart Parts and tell them you can't figure out why it's not working.

Don't put SP junk on a mag.....just seriously, don't defile it like that...

Beat me to it.

Amen.
