| Review: |
The first thing that I noticed with this barrel is that it increased the accuracy of my paintballs by a lot. At fifty feet there was almost no visible spread while at one hundred feet there was a spread of only about an inch or so.
The barrel makes the paintballs travel straighter for a much longer period of time and the best part about it is that it is much quieter than the stock barrel for the Ion. It will run you about fifty bucks for it though but it makes up for it with the accuracy. The ports on the barrel are hard to clean mainly because there are so many of them but this barrel really will fire any sized paint that you can put in it.
The only other thing I didn't like about this barrel is that it doesn't have o rings to keep it secure on your gun and so you have to retighten it after every couple games. Other than that it is a great barrel for the money |

| Conclusion: |
I would really give this product a 9.5 if there was the choice but I feel like the barrel deserved a 10 because it kept on coming loose and was harder to clean than any of my other barrels. It is accurate and works extremely well for the price so if you are limited on money then this is a great buy. |
