Review:
I recently purchased my second NDZ can/breech for my upped Ion due to my experience with my sons NDZ can/breech.
Let me first say that I am not easily impressed (read my other reviews). We have used an NDZ can/breech combo on my son's ultimately (two stock fittings...nothing else stock) upped Ion for a bit over a year. I have had zero malfunctions or problems with the combo. In addition, my son's marker shoots a very consistent 285FPS at 115 PSI. Kick is zero using a skeleton bolt and the marker makes about as much noise as a mouse farting. It is an amaging can/breech which is why I just ordered a silver combo for my own Ion.

Review:
I was kind of skepitcal about it when i bought it, but it was definitly worth it. It cut my operating psi from 200 to about 130.I popped the can in and hoped to god there would not be a major problem. I got to the field today and it was perfect. I had no problems. It also made my shots quiter. I dont know if tit normally would do it, but that was a cool side effect.
Conclusion:
This is a great product. I had no prblems with it. If you want to make your gun more efficient, get this. It will help alot and won't burn a hole in your wallet

Review:
I was looking around for something new to buy for my gun to make it more efficent and work better. I was looking aroung because when i play with my friends im always running out of air. Its not like when im at the field and can just fill up whenever i need it. So i put this baby in as soon as i got it and was surpried to see that it leaked. That was my fault because of the way that i put it in. I was amazed after fixing the problem of how good it sounded and worked. Before i was shooting 280@185psi and now and shooting 295@130psi. I love this and i also ordered the donut which helped alot. You need to get this product
Conclusion:
I think that everyone who wants a better shooting more efficent ion should get this. You wont be let down.

Review:
When i saw it at the shop i considered drilling the extra holes in the stock can but i decided to just play it safe and buy this one.
It all went pretty simple .. i installed it ... put in my SHOCKTECH SUPERFLY BOLT (so i dont know what this other guy is talking about) .. took a few shots .. lowered my dwell about 2 and it shot great .. i also put down my input PSI about 5-10 pounds to get the same velocity when shooting ... i also noticed less drop off with the stock reg
Conclusion:
Solid product .. havent heard any problems like the previous review but who knows maybe i just got lucky

Review:
I would just like to say that I love NDZ. They make great products and I personally own an NDZ trigger and rear donut so please don't take this as me bashing the company.
Put in the simplest of terms, this product is flawed from it very design.
I recently ordered this firing can online along with the NDZ rear donut for my ion. When I got my stuff I inspected the products and found that the firing can had an extra o-ring in the tail section that make my brand new shocktech bolt useless. So I greased up my stock bolt and installed it into the firing can and reassembled the gun (I did transfer the stock bolt stop to the new firing can). Now the fun begins (or so I thought). I gassed up my gun and the bolt cycled about half a dozen times on full auto with no trigger pulls! When that stopped it decided to try firing it. I shot the first paintball and it seemed okay but when I tried to ramp the gun it would only sputter out 2 or 3 shots a second. After pulling the loader I looked down into the feed neck and cycled the gun several time with the eyes of and noticed that for some reason the bolt was not returning to the full back position as quickly as it should, it would jam for a half second about 4 mm from the back. This was preventing the gun from feeding paint at the proper speed. I could also hear a distinct hissing sound between each shot and the gun was guzzling air. I disassembled the gun and found that everything appeared to be in working order. Now I decided to install my old firing can but still use the stock bolt and the NDZ rear donut. I went to test fire it and everything worked flawlessly. The firing can had been causing every problem that I was having. I don't know what is the actually problem with this thing but after looking around on the Internet I found that several other people had experience problems with this thing. Maybe NDZ needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.
Conclusion:
No matter how much I like NDZ I cannot bring myself to give this item more than a 1. It is absolutely pointless to purchase an item that is so much worse than the one you get for buying your Ion.
