i just got back from the field, didnt get to actually play cause i left my mask as home (cause im awesome) but i borrowed a mask and chronoed a few guns. the ion is rather consistent. i figure that it was hissing at me because the pressure was a bit high, it was shooting around 345ish when i started out, now it is firing around +-285fps. my feed issues with my loader stem from the paint, it doesnt like cheap paint, lol. shot a full load through it (about 120 rounds) with only a couple misfeeds. only problem with being mech is that htere are no eyes to keep it from chopping when it doesnt load properly.

i will get some pics of the gun when i unload my car.

Sadly no real way around that in an Ion - at the moment....

I'm working on a new bolt design that will work in the mechanical Ions that will have a 2 stage bolt motion similar to the LVL-X in a mag. At 180psi, the bolt should only have around 3 pounds of force for the first half of the bolt cycle. You can pinch some rather brittle paint at 3 pounds...

I'll be building the prototypes for the bolt in the next week hopefully and will know more shortly after.

The 2 tail o-rings do make for a very consistent gun provided you have a good regulator feeding it. Which the stock Ion regulator is actually a spectacular reg. Very under appreciated by a lot of people.

as promised, pics of my ion

and here is my loader

sorry if the pics area bit large, i took these with my phone and it is being annoying about taking clear shots in the smaller resolutions.

Pics fit the screen for me, nice work.

looks like the board automatically changes the sizes.

y0da900 · 08-14-2011, 12:43 PM

That looks like it's a lot of fun to shoot and play with

ChiKo · 08-14-2011, 02:30 PM

It's possible for SP8 ?

PistolRogue · 08-14-2011, 02:51 PM

The board/hose area of the SP8 is identical to the Ion so yes, it should work just fine...

y0da900 · 08-14-2011, 03:23 PM

I think it might fit, but I'm not 100% on that. Like PistolRogue said - it takes the same board arrangement. But the inside of the frame, in a few spots at least, is milled completely differently.

Deathwish may be able to get a more solid answer on it than I can as I've never handled an SP8.
