Review:
I just got this Ion XE and its amazing. For a rookie, this gun will do just fine. Its really easy to maintain clean, easy to work with, light weight, Its quiet and shoots pretty darn fast. Its comfortable to play with. It runs with Compressed Air so thats a plus for me. I really think the price for the quality of gun is good. Its accurate and still havent chopped a ball. I've havent had any problems with it so far so, so this gun is a must get for a mediokre player like myself. If you have a little cash saved up, get this gun. Im thinking of getting the blackheart board for it and a freak barrel just to tune it up a bit, but the stock barrel is just fine. i think it is everything that you can expect from a smart parts marker. Not much difference from the previous Ion, just a few things here and there, but again, for the price of the quality, its a must get. Only Thing that I Didnt find too cool was that the trigger kinda sways left and right, and i have seen a few reviews saying the same. Its not a big deal for me, I can still rock it. And the other thing is that the Electonics are inside the grip. Atleast for me, I only run it in Semi-Automatic, but if your one of those players that like switching it up, your going to have to open that grip up. but, like i said, i leave it on semi-automatic and dont touch it again.
Conclusion:
Final recommendation for this product is that if you dont want to spend too much money on a great gun, this is the gun for you. Its quick, accurate, quiet, and not a big killer on your wallet.
