Tippmann 98c : Empire reloader 2 hopper
Stock (not sure of the exact name)
PMI Pure Energy air bottle
Raider remote line
OPSGEAR 16" Operator
OPSGEAR SIG hand guard
OPSGEAR M4 mag kit
OPSGEAR FOT sight
Recommended Paintballs:
Any smaller bore balls. Mine are Guerrilla field balls from www.gizmos.com I think they are their own brand.
Strengths:
Matt finish
Very smooth bore
Looks real
Accuracy
Sound
Weaknesses:
None. This thing rocks!
Review:
I have recently bought this barrel and have only run about 500 balls through it.
But already i can tell this is the best buy for my gun.
The accuracy is perfect, cant say any thing against it.
Its pretty loud, which I like cos it sounds cool. I don't really think that you could possibly get a barrel that is so quiet that you cant tell where the person is so I think it doesn't really make a difference.
The bore smoothness and size is perfect for my paintballs.
Conclusion:
I strongly recomend this barrel to any tippmann user cos it looks great on them and it really is a quality barrel.
Rating:
10 out of 10

agreed, stalker beat me to the punch on that one, it'll only affect accuracy over distance, not distance at all, if it doesn't for a real gun why would it for these?
^^^ invisble there are many differences in the blastics of a bullit to a paintball gun so don't try and compare a barrel of a real gun and a paintball gun
Didn't he say he didnt test it yet under the "reccomended paintballs"? And then in the review he said he has run about 500 balls through it? No offense, just pointing that out.

WRONG! When a bullet (and paintball for this matter) is fired, the initial pressure gives the bullet a sh*load of momentum. While the bullet travels down the barrel, the bullet (and ball) experience air resistance, and moving friction. When it gets to the muzzle, the pressure has dropped, and in no way can provide momentum to the bullet anymore. Once the bullet is out of the barrel, it changes to only air resistance, since there is nothing else rubbing on it. In addition to that, it is moving on it's own momentum.
So, giving a bullet and/or paintball a longer barrel will cause them to slow down more, seeing as how they experience moving friction for a longer period of time.

a paintball's balistics are SOO much diffrant from a paintball gun,
with a real gun heated expanding gasses help propel the bullet,
paintmarker Co2 or Hpa pushes a ball down a barrel, the longer the barrel the more friction, more friction=less distance,
and, to add on that, real weapons and paintball guns have an effective length on their barrels, it can only be so short or long before either accuracy (short barrels) or distance (longer barrels) are affected negatively
propulsion methods are the only real differences in the two, that and paintballs are filled with a liquid, whereas a bullet is completely solid, but none the less, same properties apply to barrels
hey guys i got the 18'' opsgear interceptor barrel its a lot beter thin the flatline i sold my flatline b cuzz i like it at ferst i ming it gos prity far but not rilly accric so i sold it and got the 18'' opsgear interceptor hop that helps lol i dont no y i told you guys this you guys probly no this lol thanks
guys stop fighting shut the F**K up it is a bloody barrel. i have both the operator and the inter ceptor they both work like a charm and then we are all happy what is so hard about that
