Review:
Okay. Listen carefully. I bought this barrel because it got an pretty good review in facefull. My friend whos been playing for a while told me not to and that system x's are bad. I didn't listen to him. I wish I had, this barrel is not worth 40$. It worked alright initially, and my first game I played in a tourney it was working well. However, It broke paint more than usual. I had PMI Premium and I'm not saying it's the best paint, but it's deffinatley alright paint, and the barrel shouldn't have trouble with it. Anyways... the second game i played i was playing back just like i did my first game. The only problem was instead of shooting clear across the field the barrel was making the ballz curve down. I shot out 2 of my teamates who were next to each other. At this point I almost broke the barrel right there. As the day went on the barrel only got worse. I would rather use a Tippman stock barrel than this piece. It is not terrible, but there are so many better products on the market. This barrel is maybe as good as a stock one.
Conclusion:
This barrel is not worth 40$. This barrel would only be good if you got it for 5 or 10 $. Even in that case i might use a stock barrel.
What barrel is good when dirty? You must no nothing or be lying about your 1 year experience, I mean I've only been playin for 4 months and I have more coomon sense that you....
