Review:
The gun more kick than I expected, and the stopped firing after a short period of time. I think the electronics failed. Took it apart and reassembled it and it began to work again. I shot a case of paint and noticed a problem, took it apart again and found that some of the o-ring had come off the bolt. Generally not impressed with the feel of the gun, I don't think it compares to my modified Ion. You can do alot better for $400
yeah an o-ring popping off once...so..... i mean a 3/10 because of that. also im sure if u were more careful with taking it apart maybe u would have noticed the o-ring before hand or it would have never popped off, eaither way its just an o-ring and i agree with worrgamesman and babustos.
why would i get an ion then spend 500 dollars including gun to get what this thing has stock and for 100 less that's 100 dollars that could almost buy you a halo b, and made in china ya right since when do you pay 400 dollars for a Chinese made gun and i've felt this gun an ion fells cheaper. At least this gun has an aluminum body when it cost you an extra hundred dollars to get one for an ion. The rubber trigger and rubber feed neck give you that much more grip on the trigger. An ion is a good gun but never say its better than this. of course you make an ion better than this with a big enough check book you make this thing better than a DM6 but what would be the point in that.
This guy is obviously a retard. He is hating on the pmr cause its better then any ion could ever be. Also, if your ion is so great, how come you haven't wrote a review for it? Why don't you also come back and write a good review after you learn basic English grammer.

Dispute: Ya know what, I noticed all your markers are made by smart parts... I don't think this is a very honest review. Oh, and about the upgraded ion- you would buy the gun, a new board, and a q lock to hit the $400, it would still need upgrades to compete. If you really do have the gun, please take some photo's and post 'em (make sure your name is in the background somewhere)

The ion is a half decent gun for the money....but c'mon you cant even compare it to a PMR. You need to relax and stop exaggerating about how good ions are. PMR's are in a completely different and better league then ions.
dude ions suck ihave shot them played with them and there not that great and also their body design is stupid because you have to go through way to much just to lube the bolt. But the rail on the other hand is a lot better because ive shot one and there way faster and accurate and they have the pm7 board in them and one of the best regs on them so what iam just saying is that youre trippin on something if you thik ions are better.
I defiantly agree...my friend has an ion too, and he is overly obsessed with this piece of crap. Hands down the PMR is a better gun. EVERYONE WITH IONS NEEDS TO RELAX, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOOD GUNS COMPARED TO THE MANY DIFFERENT AND BETTER MARKERS OUT THERE. THEY SUCK
This is just another noob or woodsballer that thinks that the "all mighty ion" is far better than any other gun. Believe you me the ion isn't that great i have owned three.Great gun for the price but it has nothing on the rail.
if you would all just go down to the contact us box and state your reasons for having a review removed, im more then sure they will, ive had it done. But dont abuse this power. if the review seems lagitament, that they acctually got it and had a hard time with it, dont give them crap.

the proto and dye factory is in taiwan.. thats not quite china but its pretty damn close
as for this review i think he's just one of those kids who thinks his ion is better than every other gun.. pms in general r great guns and this gun is no exception.. how bout u actually shoot the gun b4 u go bashing it
No, the guy wrote a review that is biased. i ahte ions, because of the way there made. The banjo fittings are made of BRASS! one of the weakest metals used. They break to easy. The you have to gon out and spend $5-$15 for new ones. Ions are good if you dont ever mod or take the thing apart.
