smart: I would like your opinions on the smart parts ion... I am contemplating buying one, but i have no clue if it is actually a good gun... I am thinking about starting a team and joining speedball tournaments if that matters... If it is not a good gun, alternatives/suggestions of other guns are fine.Is a Smart Parts ion a good paintball gun?i like the smart parts epiphany but this one is sweet too http://toledo.craigslist.org/spo/1217156鈥?/a>|||The ion is a crappy piece of plastic the epiphany is he begginer smart pets gun you should get Report Abuse Is a Smart Parts ion a good paintball gun?The ion is a crappy piece of plastic the epiphany is The begginer smart parts gun you should get Report Abuse |||if you are going to buy a smart parts ion gun you can only use smart parts (parts) and that sucks if you want to get alot of those mods that are out there, but since you want to make a team for speeds ball you should either try a proto pmr or an invert mini and if you dont like either or try a tippmann 98 custom, tippmann a5, or a tippmann x7 the tippmann guns are the best paintball guns out there that can do almost anything from senerio games to speedsball. hoped this helpedIs a Smart Parts ion a good paintball gun?The Smart Parts Ion is a great gun for those who are at an entry level of speedball paintball. The Ion has many upgrades from various manufactures including Virtue, Trinity, TechT, and many others (not just smart parts). The Ion is very low maintenance and is very reliable. I highly recommended this marker for you, and I can say that you will be very pleased with its performance out of the box.|||Smart Parts is a great brand of paintball guns i believe. the smart parts Ion is a good gun dont get me wrong but it is also the cheapest of the smartparts arsenal. I own a Smart Parts SP-8 and my best friend owns an EOS, both our guns are amazing and work great. If i were you i would try to Aspire higher in the Smartparts guns such as the EOS or Shocker, even though the cost more they are way better Quality :)|||Just in my experience.. I work at a paintball shop. I have more ions to repair than any other gun. get a proto slg....
