| Review: |
i have the 14",.689 version of this barrel
Looks-This barrel is offered in 14 different colors, I have mine in Polished pewter which is pretty close to my gun color, the way the barrel dips looks really cool(see pics), the "ribbing" at the end may look weird but when you look down the barrel it actually looks really nice. Mirror finish is flawless.
Porting- this barrel is fairly quiet, honestly, the Ceramic is quieter. The porting doesnt lose any efficiency, the Ceramic does.
Bore Sizing-Along with choosing different lengths (12, 14, 16, 14 is the best), you can choose between .687,.689,.693 bores, I believe, which you can get good matches
weakness
this barrel will not help at all if your air supply is low. Now, low is not 1/4 full, it is like 1/8 full. the balls will, dip and dive all over the place. Solution= Get a refill.
The way the barrel screws in makes the CP logo facing towards the ground. Oh well
If you didn't notice I didn't talk about shooting through breaks. Well, this barrel is freaking amazing. I was at Factory Paintball Arena(great place) and i slid and my barrel got stuck in the sand. so i had about 2 inches of sand iin my barrel. I shot two more balls and the sand didn't come out. So now I had paint and sand in my barrel. So idecided to fire as many balls as i could and after 2 more the barrel was back to normal. Immediately after shoot through all the grime I snap-shot a friend of mine out.
So, this barrel is exceptional at shooting through breaks. |

| Conclusion: |
this is a great barrel. For $40 its a no-brainer, BUY IT! If you really do not want to spend $10 more buy the Ceramic, but, it is not as high quality as the CP |
