| Review: |
I ordered this gun from Warped and it took a week to get here. But once I got it it was so cool. I opened the box and there it was a shiny blue finish with my halo B right next to it. The first thing I did was adjust the trigger to it was light as a feather then I gased it up and began shooting. This thing was shooting very fast and super accurate. The trigger was ligh very easy to walk and there was very little drop off. This gun was shooting arrows. I recommend a Halo B hopper or an egg with a z board. This gun is way better than the regular Ion get it quick because threy are out for a limited time only.
Features :
Lucky 15 Barrel
Aluminum Body
Function Clamping Feedneck
Vertical Regulator
Scythe Trigger
A great player

| Review: |
My friend was lucky enough to get his hands on one of these. He let me try it out and I was amazed. That thing could rip. The speed and accuracy was amazing. It was great performance wise and looks too. My favorite part of the gun was the barrel. That Lucky 15 was sweet. Plus it is made by a very trust worthy brand. It is hard to believe you could get it for under $500. I don't think you could find a gun like that for anywhere near that price. It is a great deal. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great gun. if you are lucky enough to find one of them it would be an awesome opportunity. |

I love the trigger
Rips out paintballs

Don't think the vision is bad but I chopped one ball with vision on. |

| Review: |
This is a great gun for anyone who wants a cheap( good quality) gun. Awesome gun to get your hands on so hurry up and get one now or never. When I picked this gun up it was very light and compact. I aired it up and shot a hopper full in about 14 or 15 seconds maximum.
Update: I put it on ramping and then got around 16 or 17 a second! Compressed air is a must for theis gun. Great accuracy. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Awesome paint waster ( good thing if you want to hit a guy 300 times) . You get a finger workout shooting that fast. 10 of 10 because this is a gun to good for words. This is why my review is short. |

| Review: |
Okay first off, I'm not a huge fan of Smart Parts, but I must say that for the price, an Ion is a great gun to start out with. Warped Sportz just made it a little bit better for the average baller to shoot players with style. There were a few things I think could be improved on, but not much.
Pros:
Very small, and light. Heck I'm use to lugging around older Angels, and this is SO much lighter to carry.
fairly fast shooting, though the stock board is capped at 17 bps. I'm use to shooting faster.
Nice trigger, very smooth tigger pulls, got to get use to the design of the sythe trigger though.
Runs on Low pressure, making it fairly air effecient.
Metal Body, NO cheap plastic look.
Cons:
Stock board, Common guys Warped Sportz puts in custom boards in thier other dark series guns, like the Dark Timmy, and the New Dark Angel. Why not here, and give it a "Real" custom gun, instead of just looks.
Barrel. I don't like how they give you just one barrel, So I just order the whole kit.
QEV's. When I installed mine, they don't give you much room in the bottom of the body to screw in the QEV without sratching up the bottom of the body. I just thought it was kinda hard to install or remove without ease. Plus this also makes it hard to disassemble the gun to clean the insides or do any maintance such as lubbing and replacing o-rings. |
|
| Conclusion: |
though you basically have a stock Ion, with a nice looking metal body, and a better trigger, the biggest difference I notice is how much faster the gun cycles with the QEV installed. If you want to buy the gun to stand out from everyone else, then go for it. If you want to buy the gun to shoot out everyone else, then you might want to look into dropping some mad cash into better upgrades. Over all I'm goning to give it a 7 out of 10, cause it leaves room for SOME MUCH improvement. Nice gun though, I'm keepin mine as a back up. |

| Review: |
The ion is a amazing gun for the price. it is light, fast and accurate. There was two problems with my ion it had horrible air efficacy i got like 400 shots to 68/3000 so bought a new bolt and qev and then i got like 1300 shots to a fill. the only problem that i had were bad hoses which made it leak but after that it was fine |
|
| Conclusion: |
The gun is one of the best things i ever bought i love it. |

| Review: |
Ok, So I have been playing for a while and I have shot just about every highend marker and I came back to this one for a back up because they are reliable, small, and light. I especially like this one because it looks just awesome and shoots just as well. This marker is extremely efficient with the orange bolt and better than average with the stock bolt. The first time I crhonoed it it was +- 6 which is definately not bad for a marker in this price range. The trigger is the best thing about this marker, I play in local and national tournaments and I have fast fingers and this trigger allows me to shoot at over 18 bps in semi. It absolutely rips. The barrel is extremely quiet and accurate, although I would recommend getting the complete barrel set from Warped Sportz. It shoots through breaks and is ball on accurate. Maintenance is a breeze, I have never yet chopped a ball in this gun and only a handful of barrel breaks in the cold. I would recomend this gun to anyone.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
This gun rips hardcore and is capable at slinging paint just like peoples 1000 markers. Warped Sportz only made a few so find one and buy it! |

Upgrades: |
I Wanted something a little bit faster than 17 bps, even though 17 bps is pretty fast. i got the blackheart board which makes it a little faster at 21 bps. deffinatley need a fast hopper, reccomend halo B |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
17 bps, not bad.
Lucky 15"
Qev's
Trigger |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Not much, lucky 15" isnt the best of barrels but its good. |
|
| Review: |
this gun is good, for a beginner. reccomend a shocker for the more expierenced player. If you have the money but this gun is great for a fun day at the field, the lucky 15" barrel is good and can be even used by a back player. the scythe trigger is good, but takes some getting used to. at 17 bps you can also be a front player, but if actually on a team, and only have some cash, you need a blackheart board for 21bps |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good gun for only 400$, if you have the money and are deciding between a stock ion and the warped sportz dark ion, the dark ion is the way to go. |

This is a very nice gun and can be used by players from pro, to beginner. This is a very fast and quite gun. if you want a gunt that will impress all your friends then i suggest you order a dark ion from warped sportz now because this is a very hard gun to get your hands on. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are looking for a gun that will impress all of your friends and not to expensive then i suggest you hurry up and order one from warpeud sportz now because they are not very much made. |
