The new FireBolt

Since its debut in February 2005, the Smart Parts Ion has been a runaway success, offering true low-pressure electropneumatic performance at an unbeatable price. The SP-8, released in October 2005 has brought this same performance into the realm of scenario paintball.
 
It is natural for paintball players to push their gear to the limit, and at Smart Parts we are no different. Quick Exhaust valves like the Smart Parts 360 QEV increase the Ion’s bolt speed, allowing for faster rates of fire and improved gas efficiency.
 
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 360 QEV

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.
