I noticed that under latest products on this site, there is a barrel called the Ronin Gear Katana. Anyway, it has some of the exact same phrases are the Aradus barrel. The rest of the stuff is just a beefed up version of the Aradus desciption. So I'm wondering if the Aradus and Katana are the same thing or something. recommend
Aradus Description
Manufacturer Description: The Aradus is the most sophisticated paintball delivery system ever designed with a collapsible inner sleeve that features a straight rifle system that will prevent unwanted non linear spin on the ball and with its twist & click sizing system, you can change the size of the bore on the fly. No more changing sleeves. The bore of this single barrel can be adjusted by simply twisting & clicking the barrel into one of it's 5 settings. The barrel has been tested to the marker it was made for and a custom tailored length was designed for that marker.
Katana Desciption
The Ronin Gear Katana Adjustable Bore Barrel System is the most sophisticated paintball delivery system ever designed! The Katana's most impressive feature is its unique, patented 'twist & click' sizing system, which allows you to instantly change the size of the bore, without any disassembly whatsoever! No more changing sleeves, inserts, or barrel backs! The Bore-sizing system works by using a patented collapsible inner sleeve with 5 external settings for optimal ball to barrel fit. Bore settings are set at .676, .680, .684, .688, and .692. Extensive tests have proven that the key to achieving the best possible accuracy in a paintball marker is by matching the ball to barrel fit. To identify the best setting for your paintballs, shoot your marker on each setting, and use the one that performs the best. By 'dialing in' your barrel, you'll not only reduce your ball breakage, you'll also maximize your range, accuracy and efficiency! Each 13 inch Katana Barrel also comes with an optional (removable) tournament-legal locking device to prevent the user from twisting the collar, and raising or dropping muzzle velocity during play. Katana Barrels also feature progressive porting for silent operation, and balanced gas distribution behind the ball. Finally, Katana Barrels are straight rifled to prevent unwanted, non-linear ball spin. They are constructed entirely from top-quality Aircraft Aluminum and Stainless Steel, and are built in the USA.

Now if you ask me, these sound like practically the same barrel, sold by the same company, just under a different name. If they arent, Im surprised there isnt a copyright problem or anything. Not like any of this matters to me (Im not going to buy an Aradus or Katana), I just thought it was a little interesting.
