Q: So I'm interested in buying a Smarts parts Ion paintball gun and I am curious to know what comes in the package. Like how big of a tank does it come with and will the stock hopper be alright for a few times? I'm some what of a newb at paintball and I
A: it doesn't come with a tank or hopper. Its just the gun itself, a stock barrel, a barrel condom, and a small parts kit.
But in my opinion, dont buy an ion at all, and save yourself some headache, get yourself a Proto SLG.
Space is correct, Smart Parts is now GoG and the new Ion is called the eXTCy. Supposedly, it’s been released, but i don’t know any store that has them in stock yet. Expected arrival dates are mid-may on ANSGear. You can actually order direct from GogPaintball.com – i’ve known a dude online who ordered Ion parts directly from them. So there you go, a GoG eXTCy is what you’re looking for. Has quite a few features over the original Ion, including bolt-out-back body (well, the Ion XE had it, but it’s back), eye covers (although that isn’t too handy if they kept the same eye board used in the Ion), clamping feedneck, on/off asa, & snatch grip (just an extension of the frame in the rear, allows you to carry the gun easier when walking to/from the field – popular but subtle feature on many guns).
