      To me, $300 represents the midline price point of markers since the sport really started to grow in the late 80s. Until I purchased a Minimag in the mid 90's, every marker I'd ever bought prior to that was in the range of $200 - $300.

      For me, $300 has always represented the ideal mid-point in the price vs. performance ratio -- it's been that way for nearly 20 years. IMHO, I think the ION even surpasses this. I equate what the ION will ultimately do to the sport as a parallel to what the sub-$1000 personal computer did in the late 90's.

        Impulse

        Impulse is a little bit more money but still affordable for most. The gun shoots faster than the ion. The ion says it can get 17bps but it cant the trigger is to stiff.





        impulse with vison fo $470

            its just a break over point. its the cheapest they can go and stil make any profit off of it. its also the happy medium were there beating out the next highest competition, but still making it cheap

            in reality, most guns could be sold MUCH cheaper than they are(including the shocker/nerve/timmy....wahtever)
