Review:
I got my system for $200 on a website. It comes in 3 different colors, and there is a 4,7 and 9 piece set. It is the best barrel that I have ever used. It is the most accurate barrel that I have shot. I hit a 3in post 50 feet away 4 out of 5 times. It is so silent with its reverse porting because you get the full blast of it, but who ever your shooting at can't hear it. It easy to make it inaccurate by not matching the paint right with it's 6 backs (0.68,0.683,0.686,0.689,0.692,0.695)and 3 lengths (12,14,16). But it is hard to find, Its hard to find the right one on ebay because they only have 2-6 on em on at a time and it needs to be the right color and type. It is so light though. The 16in one with a back only weighs 8oz. I did have one problem though, the 2 pieces got stuck together and I couldn't get them apart for a hour. I finally figure out that there is a hex wrench spot in the back and you can put a allen wrench through the porting to get it off. I have heard about the problems with the freak and this one fixes all of them like no fragile inserts, portings in the far front and not everywhere
Pros
Accurate
looks
silent
conservitive
no fragile inserts
more lengths
awsome case
3 colors
Cons
Price
the stuck together thing
hard to find
Conclusion:
buy it if you are series about paitball BUY IT! but if you don't want to spend the money buy a phat performance stick (just as good with out dif bors and lengths). I give it a 9.5 because it got stuck together and they are so hard to find but that rounds to a ten. Nice work ACI
