Got this barrel for free with my Icon Z: It performs better than
Accuracy: 5 Better than stock, but nothing worth bragging about.
Range: 8 Goes as far as any other barrel, possibly excluding the flatline, which i haven't tried yet.
Loudnesss: 4 This thing is loud! The name implies that its quiet and everything, but it really is not.
Looks: 9 I like the style, looks really cool and sleek but thats just my opinion :)
Overall: 4
Conclusion:
Don't get this barrel. If its free, than use it, its better than the stock barrel.
But its not worth much more than $10
Stick with the stock and save up for something better like a CP.

k look guys i was a noob... Hadn't tried any other barrels. It was better than my stock barrel. So i thought it was good.
It didn't shoot as far as i'd hoped for, but only cause my velocity was at 185. I fixed it with a spring kit. Then it shot far, but not accurately. So i got a SP Stainless and it solved all of my problems.

Dispute: it goes further then a flatline do you even know what your talking about? Also for the price its great quality. This barrel isn't that loud to
I wouldn't listen to this guy if I were you. Judging a barrel's performance buy shooting a hopper and a half through it, using C02, with no anti-siphon, using 3 different types of paint. As well as saying problems all C02 users have are the barrel's fault, and probably ignoring the many people who have said this barrel has a big bore, and shooting paint that's too small through it.
