You should have bought the ion pro it comes with an upgraded barrel a drop forward a tank an on off switch for the tank and a q lock feding neck. No one uses nitrogen anymore they use compresed air.

the smart parts ion is definitely a step up from any mechanical marker out there. it is actually not as bad of a gun stock as everyone will lead you to believe. i would just recommend buying a clamping feedneck and a different trigger because the stock trigger isnt very fluid. other than that for 200 bucks its a great gun

A Tippmann 98 A.C.T. with E-grip will perform better than the Ion. A lot more durable, 30 bps (w/ electronic hopper, of course) is almost twice as fast as the 17 bps that he says the Ion gets, and it will run on CO2 (all day air is usually $3-$5, instead of the $5-$10 per a fill that most fields charge for compressed air)

A Tippmann with the egrip will shoot 30 bps. The Tippmann will also be a lot more durable. You won't have to tape the feed neck, and you can use CO2 (which is all some fields carry).
