Review:
Overall this is an excellent barrel. It's not the ridiculous 16" - 24" barrels out there, 12" - 14" is what you want at most. It can be found all over the place for cheap and it shoots great. If you read actual reviews you'll find there are three important things in a barrel, reverse porting, counter boring and length. When i say length i mean too long can hurt you especially when using CO2. This has 2 out of three. It shoots straight, is relatively quiet, and looks pretty good. Overall I think a budget conscious player who wants a solid barrel to replace the stock would do well with this one. I personally am very happy with it and feel no need to buy anything else.
Conclusion:
If you have a Tippman or other marker this will fit on then get it! Don't spend crap loads of money on your setup, especially when it probably wont make you any better. Just get something solid that is affordable and focus on the game. I spank other people with expensive setups all the time. Enjoy the game and play hard. I give a 9 because it could have reverse porting to make this an extremely good barrel.
