Smart Parts Ion/SP-8 Fire Bolt |
|
|
Previously, faster bolt speeds meant increased wear on the bolt’s bumper o-ring, and an increase in recoil. That has all changed with the introduction of the Firebolt. Weighing in at a mere 0.6 ounces, the Firebolt offers an impressive 47 percent reduction in mass compared to the stock bolt.
With the addition of new internal air chambers, the Firebolt also increases the air storage space in the Ion’s fire chamber by 0.19 cubic inches, allowing for the operating pressure to be decreased by 15 psi while maintaining consistent velocity.
The Firebolt makes the Ion and SP-8 faster, lighter, and quieter--the kind of innovation you expect from people who play the game and believe that equipment counts.

This is a second review, but the 1 star reveiw is very wrong... The FireBolt is .5 grams lighter than the L6, so it uses even less air to fire... The FireBolt is a very good bolt, I just used mine again, it improves efficiency, sound, and even makes my gun more accurate, cheaper than the L6...
Save the $15 for a bag or paint, the L6 is no better

i've used the orange bolt and the new designs bolt and the fire bolt blew them both out of the water. for forty bucks u cant go wrong with this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great bolt-Light as hell, quieter than a mute, can't feel the bolt cycle(no kick), and allows for more shots(doesn't really matter). Whats even better is that its cheaper than any other bolt and its ALUMINUM:^)

i got a chance to use this today and i am very pleased with this bolt. it's cheap and extremely light!!! when you shoot your gun, it's really quiet and you can barely even feel it. also, i run my gun at 12 dwell and i was going to lower it but didn't. i still got more shots from my tank that usual. so i'll probably lower it to maybe 10. i now get about 1100 shots from my 72ci 3000 tank. i reccommend this bolt!!!!!

I just received my Firebolt last night, and all I can say is I was in awe. It's incredibly light when comparing it to the stock bolt. And since theres less mass to be push the bolt that's where efficiency comes in. I got approximately 1309 (couldn't find any more paint) shots off a 68/45 with several ups.

I purchased this bolt for my sons' ION. Right now it's matched up with a Blackheart board, Dye Hyper 2 reg, 14" All American barrel, Virtue laser eyes, Halo V35, 70/4500 LP tank. After lubing it and installing this bolt, I loaded the hopper and the tank and fired it in the back yard. I went through about 3 pods of paint, and my conclusion is...
This bolt is great. I can definitely hear the difference (quieter), operating PSI dropped about 17 lower for a 280 velocity, cycles a little faster, and my 70/4500 got more shots out of it.
In my opinion, this should of been my first upgrade on the marker.
Well worth the price.

definately better than the stock bolt or the orange bolt, but the L7 has it beat. i thought this was practically weightless until i got my L7. the difference between the two is like the difference between the difference between this bolt and the stock bolt. if you don't have the extra $10 for the L7, the firebolt is the way to go.

This bolt is AMAZING! It is SO light and is great, I lowered my dwell down to 12 on my Virtue Board, where it was at 30 with the stock bolt. makes the gun way quiet, and it has almost NO kick, not that ions have that much kick anyway but your ropes are alot closer together with this bolt. VERY AIR EFFICIENT. you can go game after game without airfills. 100% worth $40 maybe even more!

Excellent bolt, it's reputation is very justified. Makes your Ion shoot like a Shocker, especially with a QEV. Much quieter and much less kick.
|
Great bolt easy to install and extremy durable!!!!!!!!!!!
