Save your money mate. Any upgrades you will just lose your money on. Put the money aside and save for something better where upgrades will be worthwhile.

Skip the spyder completely it won't be enough of a step up. No reason to buy one when Ion's are so dirt cheap and proto rails etc arent alot more

Get a mini or if budget allows an axe, ideal markers very efficient accurate and incredibly simple. Also very affordable and parts available. Will be a big difference to what you have and will keep up with any rate of fire you wish and they can shoot all grades of empire paint no issue. Stick a superfreak and rotor on it and your sorted

I'm. Only just starting to get serious into paintball and don't have the budget to go all out straight away so just looking for the cheapest possible options to get my pirahna shooting decent well it's not that it's terrible just not as good as high end markers just wanted to see what an upgraded barrel would do

Keep your eye out for second hand barrels but minis are around for £100 and they'll wipe the floor with the pirhanna In everyway. Don't know how much difference a good barrel would actually make to that marker but that's what I would be looking at
