until i cleaned it and used decent paint :p
i was shooting crappy paint from a weekend before that was kak, and the WPD paint.

i have nothing against Ion's, but to get it working it took a full strip down, clean, and re-lube, which took you the best part of 30 mins...

now if i was to do the same thing (if i smashed paint in the breech) it would take me 5 mins max.

that wasnt the stock barrel, it was some crappy Carbon fibre barrel i got with it, and its not 1/2 an inch, its about 2 1/2 inch.... but it still shoots dead straight

Just out of interest, how much does one of these 'pimped' ions cost? if you add together the cost of the gun, plus upgrades and all that. And do you install them yourselves or get a tech to do it?
