Alright I'm going to buy a Ion with Hpa and an Empire 2 loader but i was looking at barrels that people recommended and what does a barrel front and back mean? lol I've never bought a barrel b4 so do you have to buy both the back and the front pieces? and why can;t it just be one big barrel. So i need help about this lol. Also about barrels everyones telling me all different types of barrels like JJ Ceramic, Dye Ultralite, Freak Kit, or and Evil but idk so i need some advice.

the back barrel is for adapting the barrel to the gun. the front barrel is for getting the proper diameter of the inside of the barrel so you can get the tightest (barrel-to-ball) fit. a good fit means better acuracy. and when/if you do get a 2 peice barrel make sure it is very smooth. unless you go with a rifled barrel. but that is a whole different story. No matter what people tell you, the most expensive is not always the best barrel to get

an94 sorry but the back have the different bore sizes... because the first 8 inches are the most important part of the barre... the fronts are able to be switched out for barrel length most range from 10-16 inches of total barrel length
