3a?hated?

[irurou]

i have thier 16in ko barrel and it works great!in my opinion better than my 16in night stick.so tell me why anyone would hate that.
plus i got it for $30 vs. night stick's $40

[ImagineZach]

i want to get a 16 inch 3a knock out, is it good accuracy and that jizz?

[vbpaint01]

lets just say they aren't the stephen spielburg at sci fi movies in barrels...:sulk:

[Hyperion]

They're not well known so people automatically think they're crap. I don't know what to think about them. I haven't tried one and until there's more info on them I don't think I will. Ill stick with the more widely used barrels that have better reputations like Dye, Smart Parts, etc.

[irurou]

mine is excellent.so am i missing out on some information.why do people hate thaat company?why has no one reviewed these good products?:cry:

Use a CP One Piece barrel than use a 3A barrel. CP is a whole lot better, and nearly the same price.

I've used both. Quality? Psh, just feeling them you can tell the CP is better.

Looks? I'm going for the CP.

Costumer service? 3A's costumer service is, well, crap! CP's is probably the best company when it come to customer service.

don't forget the customization:
-pick your color, there's 8 colors to choose from, I believe...
-pick your bore size: .685, .689, or .693

I :love: my CP one piece!!! You can't go wrong

Nah, they are just starting to come out with ads in mags and now people want to know if their any good....from what I've heard the awnsers no so I'll stick with my Prog.

[iTz NyaGo]

bigger issue why 3a is questioned is because of their air system tanks have terribile reputations. so people wonder if the barrel is like the quality of the tanks, horrid.

[irurou]

thier puting out a new barrel,and want a review or advise on it.and for some reason this site dosen't want to post reviews:sulk:

[yay4paintball]

i hate me cp. everyone here says its the most amazing barrel for under 50 bucks, but my 98c stock outshoots it. go buy a good barrel, dont waste your time on cp like I did.

[t33kyboy]

maybe your using some crappy balls or you cant tell the difference... or... your gun just sucks..

trust me, custom products is a great barrel and its very cheap. ive seen cockers and angels with these, but if you wanna listen yay4, good luck finding something better

[reneirwolf878]

There arent reviews on this site because someone came in and spammed 10/10's on all their products using the same IP.

yours must be extremely defective or dirty or something because there is nto way your stock barrel was "out shooting it"

CP 1 piece = teh win.

So everyone hates 3A because one of their employees went to all their product reviews and said 10/10??? What the heck!!! I have been diggin' deep and have yet to hear an actual story of anyone with a negative experience with a 3A product...

don't go hate the product because of some employee who wants their sales to sky rocket...hate a product because it sucks.

He/she/it did it multiple times.

And some of use (like me) have used it and that's why we've come to that conclusion.

[SNWB]

So what was your story...was it a tank that didn't work...was it a barrel that broke???

I'm looking for the story... :-)

Read my first post, chief. :rolleyes:

If you need more details, I'd be glad to say more.

Some story...
example= "I called 3A customer service to tell them I got a bad barrel, I spent 6 hours on hold, went the automated machine came on and said, "Please leave a message"

I'm not trying to be rude, but a little bit of light shed on your poor customer service issue would be great.

Thanks,

3A tanks go boom, 3A barrels rival 32* barrels and 3A's customer service tells a person whos tank goes boom that it's their fault.

Sure. :)

Story 1:
A buddy of mine purchased a 3a barrel. When he received it there was a nice ding on it. There was certainly no way a ball would get thru it. He's really busy so I told him I'd call up 3a and take care of it for him.

So I call em up and tell the lady my situation. She told me I had to talk to someone else who was busy at the moment. She said she would give them my name and number and they would call me back sometime THAT afternoon.

3 days later I had still not heard from the people at 3a. So I thought they probably lost the number, stuff happens. I gave them a call back and got the same lady... had the same conversation. Waited a few days again and no call.

So I called back and she told me the SAME thing. This time I told her I didnt want to leave my name and number. I told her to put me on hold until he was available. After about 25 minutes a man came on. I told him the situation and he replied saying, "It's not our responsibility" than hung up.

So yes, that really made me like them.

Story number 2:

I run a field, so I often times see a new product. When I see this I'm always interested in trying it out. One of the guys had a 3a barrel and I knew him pretty well, so I asked him if I could test it out. I usually compare them to other barerl I have, check the bore size, and such.

So I tested it out. I Compared it to my CP One Piece, on the exact same marker, balls, and velocity. The CP One piece did perform better. My Ceramic, Teardrop, Progressive, Ultralite were also better. The 3a barrel MAY have been better than my Terminator barrel though. They were pretty close in performance.

Also, just by comparing the feel of the CP and 3a you could tell the CP was better made.

The CP is also very customizable.

Oh, and also, in my opinion the CP looks better. Although the 3a has decent look, better than alot of barrels.
