What is a good barrel for the ION that won't be too expensive (under $100)?

Just CURIOUS, but is the 20" Smart Parts Tactical (For Impulse which is compatible) be a good or bad barrel??

definately a bad barrel. Anything over 14 is gonna be bad anyways, and all it is going to do is get in the way. Go with a freak jr. kit or UL.

Question: WHY is it bad? Just because it gives you a bigger profile!? I'm not playing speedball. (And please don't question why I have an Ion then, it's because I liked it.)

Reasons it is bad:
-Uses more air to project the ball out of the barrel
-Incredibly long/ugly
-It will not make the ball fly any farther, no matter how much it says it will
-It will only make you look like a noob

Accuracy in paintball is determined by paint to barrel match. For example, if your 12 inch barrel is a .689 (standard) bore, then you're going to want to use a .689 paintball. The 20 inch barrel will do nothing more than the 12 inch barrel will, which is why the extra 8 inches are not needed and will just get in the way.

Ahh, very well, thanks for the info. I think I'm going to get a yellow barrel front with black back for my ion then. Thanks!

And thanks for the Jeep compliment, I've worked hard to get her like she is now.

So get a Freek Jr.? For sure? Because I can only find 14 inch or 16 inch.

Well, for my Ion, I'm getting this barrel combo:

Smart Parts Freak 06 Ion Barrel Back- Black Dust

Dye Tip Barrel Front-14" Yella

A dye tip won't work on that freak back. Go for the all-american tip.

Ah, good to know. So how about this one?

Smart Parts All American Impulse Barrel Back - Blasted Black

Go for the freak back with all-american tip, then pick up some inserts.

Here's the thing HS, I want a YELLA barrel.....so if I have to have half of one, fine. But I really want a yella one. Not as good performance for looks? Fine by me. I'm the one who has to shoot the gun.

Besides, I don't have money to spend on 3 pieces of barrel....

BTW: I like Yella a lot.

But tell me, will my combination work? Or do I need a different back? I'm not changing the front, lol.

Haha, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the tip that you measure the overall length from.

And pick some design/color/price you like from the freak backs.
