This marker is great out of box and a great price for it as well. Only upgrades I would recommend are a Halo B and Stiffi Carbon barrel. on/off acs
Strengths:
Bang for Buck
Great fired rate, semi mode
Great out of box marker
Weaknesses:
Weight and it is loud but like noise really matters
user guide sucks
Review:
I spent weeks deciding between the Smart Parts Ion and The ACI Blind Rage and thanks to the reviews here I bought the ACI and I love it. When you compare the price to upgrade your ION to the rate of fire this does out of box it just wasn't worth it. If your thinking of an ION go with this marker you'll be glad you did. I have used an Ion and this marker out performs it out of box and you don't need any upgrades, which if you have played PB long enough you know this is a rare thing.
Update: Well I spent 6 hours playing against everything from bob longs to The Famous ION in nothing but speedball and kicked some major booty. Rate of fire was faster than people with stock ion's. I didn't chop paint once and I used a case and a half. Great on air as well. Allot of people were impressed that it did so well. So if you can get passed the weight get this gun, it is like half a pound heavier than the ion. BIG DEAL
Update 4/09/06
Got the T-switch and it is freaking awesome get it!!
Conclusion:
I have already got two buddies buying this marker! It is a great marker out of box and doesn't need real expensive upgrades. The price is great, the BPS is great, it runs on all three gases, and from what I have experienced it out performs the ION. I give it a 9 because of weight and noise but to me it is a 10 because these things don't matter too me.
