Review:
This gun is awesome, but i would recommend getting the newer one. The Ion Pro II. Its an 06. This gun weighs almost as little as a shocker but not quite that light, but it is very light. The Ion is the most upgradeable gun out there by far. The Freak makes it accurate but you need to get an insert kit for the best accuracy possible. A Scenario Dreams Ion T-Board or an Ion Virtue Board is the main upgrade you will need for this. Then you'll be able to ramp up to 30 bps!!! with an ion!!! I can't really think of anything bad about this gun.
Conclusion:
This is a great product, but if you get one, get the newest one. it comes with a newer Freak and a Q-Lock. Get it. They're only about $300-350. It depends on where you get it.
