Paintballs: |
Anything that is moderately consistent. No size preference needed, just don't shoot Brass Eagles through it.
And I mean it, this will shoot ANYTHING with the best accuracy I have ever seen. |

| Review: |
Just got this barrel, and I loved it from the beginning. It looks great on my A-5. Dry fired a bit, and it really was NOT any louder than with my Snapshot or stock barrel. When I used it at the field, I was shocked and amazed. I had amazing accuracy, I almost couldn't believe it. At 20 feet it was literally ball on ball accuracy. It widened a bit as it got farther out, but it was never outside of a man sized target. I have never seen this accuracy with any other barrel or gun, be it Tippmanns, Spyders, Ions, Matrices or Egos.
Ah yes, the paint I was using? Diablo Nightmare. When I did a bounce test with this stuff, it ranged from 1 bounce to 10 bounces randomly. Basically, a bunch of them just break as soon as the air hits them. I would get 20-30 shots off, and then get a break. The barrel doesn't shoot well through breaks, but I'll test it further.
I just can't wait to see how this thing shoots with regular grade or high grade paint... I'm so excited...
At the field, I know at least one person who used a high end who was pretty amazed at the accuracy this thing was doing. I just never realized an A-5 could be this accurate.
Ok, I'm raving now. Anyways, this is the best barrel I have seen so far, I doubt it could be topped by anything... |

| Conclusion: |
Buy it, it is arguably the best barrel there is on the market. Works well with different paints and is amazingly accurate. |
