Well gents, I snuck out to the TRU and picked up an IonFire yesterday. Not because it's a Modulus. Not because I needed a new pistol. No, it's because I wanted that new barrel attachment. It looks awesome on my ZS LongShot. Way better than the Proximity Barrel attachment. Which, by the way, looks better on my Stryfe. Whew, too many musical attachments. I'm dizzy  ;-)

But here's the thing, the IonFire is disappointing compared to a basic FireStrike. Barrel attachment, or no. The thing that bothers me the most is that your have to bend your darts to get them into the IonFire's chamber. Um, yeah, you shouldn't have to force your ammo into your blaster, IYKWIM.

The whole thing was oddly uncomfortble. Plus, when you slam it open to reload, your hand bangs into that weird, ah, whatever that thing that loops around the barrel and sticks out the top. Bad design, especially for those of us over 10 years of age.

IonFire gets a 4 in my book. Mods forthcoming ;-)
