The Ion MAX'D has all the great features found in the Ion PRO but centers around a hot new body design that is sure to turn some heads. Features include: The Ion MAX'd includes the 14" Freak Jr. Barrel with a .693 insert, Q-Lock Feedneck, Smart Parts S-Rail and dovetail adapter. This is a great deal! Feedneck and s-rail/dovetail are installed.
Smart Parts most affordable marker ever. They are proud to have produced a paintball marker like no other. The Ion was built to be the marker for anyone who loves the game: simple to maintain, easy to use, designed for winning. It takes abuse like a rental gun, but throws paint with the best of them. You'll get the accuracy, range and rate of fire the Pro's enjoy for just a little more money than an entry level marker. The days of having to spend tons of cash to get what you want are over.
Product Availability
The Smart Parts Ion Max'd is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.

SP Ion Max'D
Smoke Halo B
48/3000 Crossfire system
Recommended Upgrades:
A new trigger (must)
anything else it's just optional
Strengths:
It has most of the upgrages that you would do to an normal ion
Weaknesses:
Trigger, the stock one could be changed too
Review:
For a little amount of extra money you get an upgraded ion, you have the 2 pieces freak, the feedneck (the must of any normal ion), the rail with on/off, and a color body kit to match with all of those accesories. The only difference between the new Pro and the Max'D is the body, in both you should feel the improvements far from a regular ion, the consistence of the shooting it's pretty accurate thanks to the barrel, and the other upgrades just make your practice easier.
I believe it's a shortcut for those who are interested in an Ion and are looking for it's upgrades. After purchasing it, you could buy also a new trigger, it's a weakness for a regular Ion, and it's for the Max'D too. A warrior one may be my choice.
Conclusion:
Better than an normal Ion, and with more style than an Ion Pro, what else you could ask for? I recommend it.
Blue body kit
Raider Board
Halo Hopper
CP Trigger

Review:
This is a very good gun for any one. It is much better than my old impusle. It works straight out of the box. Like any other gun u should add a few upgrades to increase how fast and accurate it shoots. I would recommend this gun to every one, it is a great gun.
Conclusion:
If you want a cheap reliable gun then u should get this gun it is great.

Review:
First off i juss wanna say the only difference between this and the ion pro is the body. when i bought this thing it was on sale for 260(cdn) so that was awsome, cause i dont have the greatest cash flow. this thing is really light, but my stupid tank makes the gun so unbalanced and heavy. when i was playing with this thing today, i wasnt to impressed with the eyes, cause about 700/800 balls in i got a chop, and a couple rounds later, another one. but other then that i found that this gun satisfied my needs cause im not a hardcore paintballer, but the trigger was irritating cause i couldnt walk the trigger to fast, so i got critical parts trigger which is sick. also, id like to say to anyone who plans on buying a stock ion, dont, either buy this or an ion pro, cause this already has a lot the upgrades youll want anyways.
Conclusion:
this is a very good gun for RECREATIONAL player, if your serious about paintball, juss spend the extra money, and get something better. this gun met my expectations, but it was nothing TOO special, so it gets an 8
Trigger is alittle sloppy stock board isnt to great. switching settings on board.
Review:
This gun is insane, its extremly fast and light. the trigger is alittle shaky but it can be upgraded. the ion was basically made to be a great marker better than an entry level at an entry level price. the great thing about the ions are they can be upgraded tremendously. just about a new everything. the ion max'd is an ion pro with the max'd body so if you are debating on wich to get go with watever body u like better same performance
Conclusion:
The ion is a great gun gun for begginers and even amatures it can be upgraded a lot and its not to bad on price.

Review:
i am very pleased with this marker. i bought it with my birthday money, and it was every last penny i had. it was worth it. the stock board is very good for a stock board, that comes in any ion though. the major difference is the body. some dont know its an ion, that can be good and save you frome haters. also i like the unique body. it shoots pretty far. i got the shocktech supafly bolt and it added range and flattened my shot. i out ranged an 05 ego. i also recomend more inserts or a kit for the freak because it wont be any more accurate than any other barrel unless the paint and barrel are matched.
for UNDER $400 its your best bet. but if your willing to pay $400 + get a pmr because of the resale.
i know you can even get these for under $300. they are well worth it and they shoot great right out of the box.
Conclusion:
Great gun, I say buy it, the only draw back is the fact that it's still an ion. but for the money, its the best gun out.
