ok sorry, that part maybe misleading....

Your brand new to the sport, not a lot of money, and you just got your new marker.... When you first take the marker apart, any marker for that matter it looks like ur worst nightmare and ur scared you might break something....

That make sense?

When I was new that was how it was... and I bet there are countless people out there that thought the same when they knew nothing.

Exactly that :) It wasn't the taking-apart that I worried about the first time taking a marker apart, it was how to put it back together again.

One of my mates got a DM and took it apart before he had even gassed it up for the first time.
Was a bit upset when he finally got it back together, gassed up and it wouldn't fire.
Silly clown put the eye wire in upside down.

I disagree with NSKlad, Ion aren't that easy to maintain and take apart at all, especially compared to something like a Proto rail that's only £100 more.

A stock Ion will see you through at tournies (only just), but by the time you spend the ££ on upgrades, you're moving dangerously into another marker price bracket overall.

If you are desperate for a gun, and cash is tight, buy an Ion, but spend as little as possible upgrading it and save some cash for a better gun altogether(PMR ;) )

Timmys are the easiest guns in the world to strip down BTW, NSKlad is telling lies i tell you! (love ya Sam! ;) :D )

i was using an ion for my whole first season of tourneys, it fired paint at an acceptable rate without much trouble, fine for a starter gun. Then moved to ego5, then upgraded that to fook, now ill be getting an ego7 within the next couple of weeks :D
