Calm Down:rolleyes:

Well I was right about the top speed for the first 10" and 12"-14" being about right. I wasnt 100% sure about the accuracy/distant thing hence the (I think), anyway I made a mistake:p was only saying what I thought.

still wrong it reaches top speed in the first unported 8 inches.

Tom Kaye FTW!!!

'Barrel length matters. It is what lets a paintball accelerate from standstill to 300 fps. At least, the first 7-10 inches of a barrel do that.' from paintballstore.tv barrel guide I googled up.

Well thats where I got my info from, so sorry if its wrong.

trust in the jedi powers of TK, he is after all pretty much the god of stuff like that, I think automags.org has all techy articles like this on, makes for some good reading if your into stuff like that.but i think this is now a totally different thread all together...

Back to the job at hand, as bolter says if your using only the one barrel get a larger bore (.692, .693 depends on barrel manufacturer) that way you can shoot any paint you feel like without worring (sp) about smashing the paint in a tiny barrel i think the stock ION barrel is a .689 which is pretty much an industry standard size as a mid range, most paint will be fine through it but there are a few types that are on the large size, i remember tomohawk competition(i think, definately tomohawk, blue boxed stuff anyway) was .695
