I had an Icon, and the ONLY difference between Icons, Spyders, and other Spyder-clones is the thickness of the bottom of the receiver (body), where the trigger frame and rest of the gun meet.
They are pretty good for how cheap they are.

Hey, the Icon has its place. Many first timers get the Icon X package and then upgrade from there.

I asked their price range and 1 kid said 200 another said 150 and another only 100. For the kid that said 200 i said an ion. For the kid that said 150 i said to try to get a used ion or the new spyder Vs1. And for the kid with 100 i told him that if he wanted a decent gun he should save up more. The kid with 200 bought the ion and it was fine. The kid with 150 bought a spyder piolet for 125 and that worked out good. And lastly the kid with 100 told me that he was buying a gun called an ICON. At first I thought he was buying a cheap piece of crap and he would be dissapointed after a week so i pleaded with him not to get it. Of course he went and bought it and did not take my advice.  That was smart on his side. When he got the gun it proved to be pretty nice and easy to walk for a nonelectric gun. It also seemed pretty reliable during games. I just thought i would share that with you guys and say that an ICON is not a bad gun for the price AT ALL. The only thing i think could make it better would be a new trigger. Please leave your comments

Congrats, you led them all to poor choices. Way to go.

Well seing as you had a blind electronic blowback, I can see why you hated it. There really isn't anything special about it, and I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone.

I'm pretty sure "ego" isn't a company. The etek is made by Planet Eclipse.

I've seen them (refurbished) go for $30-$35 on websites and people still don't buy them. Now that you can find electronic markers with eyes for around $180-$200 new and $75-$100 used, the only market for walmart markers from companies such as 32 degrees is really based on noobs who didn't shop around.

Lets clear some stuff up.....
The XSV Etek is official and was given to members of the team to play with and sell.
The Etek IS an Ego just a stripped down budget price Ego.
