    Is anyone else tempted to buy an ION?

    Man i just saw them for $199, then i saw a couple of vids of them. Im very tempted to pick one up, atleast for a backup or something, seems like a steal to me. Does anyone know if the triggerframes are plastic or metal?

    The trigger frames are powdercoated aluminum. If you have any ion questions at all feel free to ask me.

    Ions can be great guns with the right upgrades and can easily run with any other gun outt here if done right.

      That should answer your question.

      I actually like IONs for some strange reason.

              The Ion is an AWESOME $200 marker.

              Then people put $500 of upgrades on them

              The Ion is NOT an awesome $700 marker.

                  Ions are great. The stock trigger and feedneck suck, so expect to put down atleast $100 in upgrades to get a solid feeling marker. The stock triggers are as cheap as a cafeteria spork, so buy like a NDZ one or CP if you can.

                    Here is my experiance with the Ion:

                    I went to the paintball store one day and bought an Ion. I took it home and examined it. I compared its feel to the feel of my mag. I found that I like the feel of my mag better. I also thought it felt cheap, although I know now that it is in fact very well made . So I returned it, without even shooting it.

                      Way to judge a book by its cover. You need to shoot the ion to understand that it is well worthy of the fame it has gotten.

                        i personally, wouldnt buy one. Thats the basis off, "i might as well buy a high level marker because your gonna end up spending money to upgrade the ion anyways." But thats just me

                        But a $200 ion > $200 electro spyder
