The Smart Parts Ion XE is a great way to enter the mid-priced paintball gun market. The Ion XE is an upgraded version of the ground breaking Smart Parts Ion. The Ion XE is setup with an electronic board capable of 17 balls per second which is more than fast enough for any level of play in today's standards. The Ion XE gives you a unique milled appearance while still keeping the durable Ion body intact. This gun also gives you a lot of room to upgrade if you feel like taking your setup to the next level throughout your playing experience. Smart Parts has made the bolt easily accessible with the use of only one allen wrench which for you means quick easy tune-ups resulting in more time on the paintball field. The Ion XE along with just about every Smart Parts paintball gun is extremely light and when setup with a tank and hopper is a very well balanced fit. The Ion XE has what it takes to compete with the biggest badest paintball guns on the market but with its low price tag it has what it takes to keep your wallet thick for those long car rides to and from the paintball field.
Ion changed the paintball paradigm by being the first marker to deliver true electropneumatic performance in the casual paintball player's price range. With multiple firing modes an aggressive rate of fire and break-beam Vision anti-chop system the Ion® XE⢠continues the Ion® tradition of tournament level performance at a low price. An all new Bolt-Out-Back design makes this new Ion easier to maintain than ever before. One allen wrench is all that is needed to remove the bolt sleeve bolt and bolt stop from the rear of the marker providing complete access to the entire bolt and valve assembly in seconds.
