well lets start with looks, its brass, i have a black A-5, sounds like a problem but definitley is not. i used army tape through out the body of the barrel exept for the vented wholes. army tape makes it look like a mp5 with a brass scilencer at the end. im a big scenario guy and i think that kicks ass
no for preformance
1. dead close accuaracy, and when i say dead im serious cause thats what everyone is after one shot
2. quiet as a pin
3. very smooth with paint
4. made by palmer :)
5. it is honed
Weaknesses:
some people say weight but thats only if u are a 5 year old kid who doesn't eat his veggies
Conclusion:
this is one of the best barrels i have used, it is qaulity and that is important to a lot of people. if u want a accurate, quiet barrel then this is it for u
