| A sister barrel to the Quiet Riot, this barrel puts the ball where you want it, and with its unigue small to large barrel porting it makes less noise and creates less wobble as the ball leaves the barrel. This also increases its accuracy and consistency shot for shot. Available in 12 and 14 inch lengths in black, blue, red, silver, and green anodized chrome finishes. |

| The 32 Degrees Whisper Barrel is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

| Strengths: |
Hence the name, the whisper barrel is very quiet. Awesome for flanking because if your enemy is unaware of your position, you can sneak right around and cap em' in the back. Surpisingly, an added bonus of distance and accuacy was included. When I tried this barrel, it went farther than the Ice cold I already had on my barrel, not only that but the ball curvature was reduce two fold. I went out and baught this bad larry of a barrel and stuck it on my gun. Its staid there sence. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Picky on paint. If its too small, it might be a little funky and even break. Not very cool... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great barrel, inexpensive buy, although picky on paint its sure worth the money. Try diablo dusks, they work great in mine :) |

| Review: |
Took this out and used it for the first time yesterday, and WOW... in comparison to all my buddies out there this thing was extremely quiet. The only other person out there with us that came close was a 98 custom with a J&J ceramic barrel, and mine was just blowing him out of the water. Accuracy was really good, I was putting a cluster of paint on the side of a concrete tube within a 1 foot radius at about 100+ feet, and wasnt even really trying. Not to mention in one of our games with me and my buddy vs 5 other people (2 on 5) I was able to pick off three different guys from around a 100 feet out through the trees and branches with as much as 2 shots a piece for each of em. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall great Barrel, it aint no silencer, but it does quiet down my A-5 substantially, and the accuracy was well worth a 10 |

Paintballs: |
Anything with a larger bore size. PMI super swirls seem to work fine. I prefer to use the cheap blue streaks that you can get at wal-mart for about 20 buck for 1000 rnds. These are so tough that they never bust no matter the bore size. |

|
| Strengths: |
Increases acuracy and distance quite lot from my 9 inch stock barrel. Cool looking. Cheap. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Picky with paint if you have a high velocity. Lower velocity and it works great. |

| Review: |
The 32 degrees whisper barrel is an excelent upgrade for any gun.When I first bought it for my gun I was surprised by the increase range and accuracy. During my first game though I though that there was something wrong. When I tried to shoot at a quick pace it would chop paint. That problem was soon fixed though. As soon as I squegeed my gun and turned the velocity it shot perfectly. With the velocity turned much lower than I had had it with my stock barrel I was shooting farther. During that battle I also realized that I could actually snipe. I soon also go a cheap daisy electronic point sight (about 7 bucks at wal-mart) to help with that.
The whisper barrel also made my gun pretty quite too. It did not completely silence my gun, but it did make it quiter than any of my friends guns. For $40 I think that it is a really good upgrade that I do not regret buying. This is my first 32 degrees product but I do not think that it will be my last. I can tell just by this barrel that they must make pretty good products. They also make the whisper barrel in a variety of colors (black is the best) and for just about every semi-auto and automatic gun out there too, so you know that they will have a one to fit your gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I think that this is a great barrel. I find it disapointing that people rate it badly because they think that it busts paint. Just turn your friggin velocity down already. |

| Review: |
I first used this product when my friend bought it, I would critisize him before he bought it saying, THAT,......THAT IS THE UGLYEST BARREL I'VE EVER SEEN(i was an imature paint ball player then,like that matterd)Or, LOOK AT ALL THE HOLES IT PROBLY IS HARD TO CLEAN.Or WHY BUY THAT WHEN YOU COULD GET THE SP TEAR DROP OR JJ CERAMIC. So about 3 months ago he finely bought it and i was proved wrong again!!! (thats another story for another another time) I also fell in love with it, and bought it. Feel good story of the year, hu. :) |
|
| Conclusion: |
Best decision I ever made. I surley recomrnd it. for all sorts of players torney to rec. players. |

| Review: |
i tested this barrel on an a-5 and it was quiet, but not REALLY quiet....maybe its because the a-5 sounds like a cannon with the stock barrel...this barrel is KINDA accurate. not as accurate as an armson stealth or a taso winforce but its decent. it kinda looks cool the way it gets bigger on the end and all the holes in it...for 30 bucks its really decent. get it if you really need it but this is made for sniping and if your any good of a shot then you can have the loudest gun in the world and take out a million people with it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
not the best barrel on the market but for 30 dollars its well worth it. |

| Review: |
I absolutely love this barrel. I've had it for 4 years and i do not plan on getting a new one. Accuracy and noise is phenomonal. Many times have i shot people without giving away my position. Yes, mine is a 14'' , but that does not have anything to do with distance. Longer barrels DO NOT make your paint go farther (with the exception of the flatline). BUT they do keep your accuracy straight for a longer distance. Velocity is what makes paint go farther, not the barrel (except the flatline of course). Let's talk about distance...
I play baseball. I am the catcher.I have been sitting behind home plate for 7 years. Therefore, it is easy for me to judge distance. From home plate to second base is 120'. For woodsball, that really isn't that far, for speedball it is. This barrel ( with my settup) is consistantly accurate at distances up to 150'. That is what you want if you play woodsball. I am sick of seeing these reviews that say ''my barrel is accurate at 85' '' Even the stock barrel can do that. So please, don't let this fool you. 85' is not long at all. For speedball, that is great, but not woodsball.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
If you have money to spend, i would suggest a boomstick or one of smart parts higher priced barrels. I would not suggest a flatline for anyone. The flatline only works if your velocity is 270 fps or higher, but it still isn't that accurate. The whisper is what you need. 30 bucks, amazing for its performance.
I give this a 9 because NO barrel is perfect. |

| Review: |
This barel is freakin awesome. I've shot atleast 3500 rnd and only chopped 2 balls and that was because of rate of fire, not the barrel. it is hard to clean the small holes. This barrel is accurate and increased my range a good 25 or greater feet. it makes ur gun a lot quieter 2, hence the name whisper. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this barrel it's freakin awesome- |

| Review: |
Well I got this barrel a month after I bought my tippmann 98 custom about a year ago. I was bothered with the tippy stock barrel and needed a better one. I first wanted the Nyte Stick from 32* but that one was sold out so I settled for this one.
Well I gotta admit i'm pretty satisfied.
*My accuracy improved a lot.
*It's got a nicer sound to it.
*My range has improved(I can hit guys with regular 98 customs and their balls land at my feet while I can tag them!)
*Looks cooler than stock.
*And best of all... NO BALLBREAKS. I think I haven't broken a singe paintball out of more than 4000 shots... really cool!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
There might be better barrels out there, but for this price this was the ideal barrel for me being the recreational player that I am... AWESOME! |

| Review: |
I bought this barrel thinking it would be realli quiet its not that quiet also with all the porting on it there isn't that much effective barrel length so its not that accurate. if u think that you are going to get an extremely quiet umm...... "sniper" barrel for lack of a better word dont get this. if ur looking for ur first aftermarket barrel this is ok still i'd spend the extra 5 or 10 $ on the SP tear drop or the 32* nyte stick.the end |
|
| Conclusion: |
spend an extra 5 to 10 $ on a SP tear drop. but it is ok |

| Review: |
When i first used this in Play, It i was amazed. The shots did go all wild and curvey, It didnt even make a loud bang when i shot, and no paint chopped at all (But then again, I was using my auto feeder). It has been reliable to me for about a year now and i plan to keep it. The only problems i have had with it is that when you use bad paint its not as accurate and the ball chop (Brass eagle and other wall mart paint), and its hard to clean chopped paint out of the little holes. THose are the ONLY problems i have had with it so far. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I strongly recremend this to any type of paintball player. Speed ball, or wood ball, its very useful |
