    I play tournies with my mag and I am constantly out gunned. and dont give me that skill crap. If I cant get out of my bunker to use my skill its pointless to have.


    I think most are correct though I dont see a frame coming anytime soon. I personally like the frame, but I have always like 45's better then other angles

      If you can't get out of your bunker now.. What does shooting 8038545849357439850 BPS going to help you? Your still going to be pinned in behind your bunker.

      Basically no gun can compete in tourneys. Its an inamiate object. It takes a skilled operator to make a gun do anything.

        because I wouldnt be the one behind the bunker if I had the ROF I needed. And im sorry but if you tell me that snap shooting is easier with a mech mag then any electronic triggered gun you have issues.

        any you are only partially correct on your last part. The gun does make some difference, that cannot be denied.

          This has prolly already been said but if you are going to buy a 300 dollar gun and put 300 dollars worth of parts on it, why not just buy a 600 dollar gun?

            Watch some Blowfish videos. They seem to do OK shooting 2bps. Granted, they sometimes use a couple of back players with semi's, but still...

            On topic...I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Shocktech make a "Custom" ION with a milled and annodized body/frame.

            Also, how many markers do you buy these days and shoot bone stock anyway? Even if you drop $800 or $1000 on a marker, you are still going to replace the feedneck, and barrel, and drop/uni-mount, and slap a fancy trigger on it...oh and new grips, etc., etc.

              When I buy my Proto, all I'll be replacing is the barrel. My Ion may get a few more goodies.

                        The reason i ask you this is based on the numerous questions you have asked in the past i get the impression you have not played in a competitive level yet.
                        I, on the otherhand, do compete in tournaments, and can tell you that 'mags, while great markers, just simply don't hold up to today's supermarkers. I'm not sure my first pick would be an Ion, but I'd certainly take it over a mechanical automag...

                          Perhaps not as a back or mid player but if someone "can't" play front with something like an RT-Pro then I feel sorry for their teamates.

                            Two of the best players (both front) I know use mechanical mags... sure they don't use high rates of fire to win, but they do win. Well... at least until this year, one of them switched to an Ion actually.. I find it amusing considering this thread, and others like it.

                              ok, this is getting annoying. Everyone stop complaining about ion posts. There are maybe a total of 5-6 threads about Ions. They are a new gun and cheaply priced for such good features. That is why everyone is talking about them. Maybe if AGD would do something similar, everyone would be talking about AGD guns. But, AGD seems to be selling off their stock and dont have anything new in their lineup. ANything done to mags that is nice was done by someone else (ie pneumag frame, devilmags, homemade emags)

                              Truth is that ppl dont just post about Ions here. They DO go to ion forum on PBN, or other websites. This is ANOTHER site we visit. SO get off our backs. If you are an ion hater, dont post or read the thread.

                                Who are you even "talking" to? There's been very little whining here.
