You guys see The new SP Ion ? It looks like a pretty nice gun for the price. News about this leaked out around tuesday right before it was released thursday.

most companys are focusing on making cheaper guns to attract kids because they see that its made by the shocker people, and their parents see the price tag and they both think its a good buy. but when you sell a gun that cheap you have to get the materials cheap so the overall price of the gun is really cheap so that they can still have good markup.
so id stay away from it, since its only $280-$300 for us it most only cost them like $150-$200 to make.

(eric) dave smart parts already uses the cheapest stuff in all their markers. and it dosnt take $150 to make that gun cuz smart parts isnt selling them for 280 the companies that bought them from smart parts are and they prolly paid somewhere around 150. it dosnt take less than any other gun to make it unless you count design labor for the high end guns. i definately thinks its worht the buy but i havnt shot one yet so i dunno.

ive heard from 2 techs at 888paintball that the ion is really crappy. they said to go with the new diablo wrath which shoots 20 bps and its only 280 as apposed to the 285 or 300 and the ion is made out of plastic...which to me is just stupid.also the wrath can go on co2 and not mess up to where the ion cant. theres a big list of things call 888paintball and ask em about it

i think its betetr the nthe wrath its a spoil valve gun, light, small, obviously accurate, and the whole 20 or 17 bps doesnt matter, the ion is better the wrath is more liek "the one" its for newer players, not for advanced newer players

im 99% sure the wrath is really a T1. the body just has slightly different milling, same barrel the rest looks the same with different exterlan sleves.
and the ion has an aluminum body with a plastic shell over it so you can change the color, although the grip frame really is plastic.
