| This barrel is designed and built by Aardvark. It is a two piece system and we will be releasing other backs to go with it in the very near future. It looks cool and shoots great! |

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

point blank "steel ball"
blaze pink and purple shell only... why ? i don't know. they just work good.
|
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
machine work is flawless...good clean hone and polish.
the barrel itself has a unique look...
it is a 2 piece and soon will come with back's of different size's.
when I use it with my matrix tequila it is very accurate, as long as i use a very good paint to barrel match.I have shot aprox 3 cases of paint with it now and have had no barrel breaks...
I have found this barrel to be very accurate and it is just a tinch louder than my boomy.
the price is not very much and that make's the deal even sweeter. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
as of right now....nothing |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you own a matrix or a cocker or an intimadator/defiant...your in luck...it has cocker threads. I would buy another one if I somehow lost the one I got. |

Paintballs: |
anything ,689 you can find.. shoots nice with most paint |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
-accurate
-forgiving .. if you into rec paintball centers a lot its very forgiving with what paint you use
-durable... if you cant hit them with paint.. you could always club them with the barrel.. the thing feels like a softball bat.
- style.. this is love/hate part for me.. but this barrel inspires renter fear and worship ( as does the Tequila Sunrise matrix that this is stock on ) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
-weight.. adds a few pounds to any weapon
- length and lack of customization.. there is no further upgrades / option as of yet for this barrel. Be patient I was told they are coming
- style as I said love/hate the hate part.. being so curvy and artistic.. I find it impossible to sight down the side of the gun cause it is really inconsitent.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
if you dont mind the style / weight this barrel is dead nuts accurate and you wont have to worry about any problems with it warping / breaking.. it will take a beating. For a standard .689 barrel and the cost.. its a great option in its price catagory.. but you will find better performance if you have the wallet for it |

My teams practice paint is 32* Team colors, that usually matches pretty well, Also good with most of the Draxxus/Diablo line and Marbs. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Great barrel, comes with a .689 back. Quiet as ultralite. $65 price tag. 2 peice. High quality. Availible in several colors at no extra charge. Just a great barrel over all. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Not a big fan of the looks but it shoots great.
Too much milling.
$25 shipping if you order direct from Aardvark, it's next day shipping though so you get it fast.
Threads are sharp. ouch.
Scratches easy.
No other backs as of yet.
Only availible in cocker threads (that I know of) |
|
| Conclusion: |
Aardy makes great products and has dealers here in US so you won't have to pay 25$ if you can find it state-side.
Can't beat $65 for a custom barrel that will have more backs availible.
Great Product!
Nothing Deserves a 10 however. |

I only use the Draxxus line, but any quality paint will do. |

| Strengths: |
Absolutely amazing barrel.
The machine work on this barrel is perfect. Everything Aardvark makes is quality and this is no exception. The barrel comes as a 14" with a .689 back, however different length tips and bore sized backs will soon be avaliable. The barrel is relatively quite, yet still manages to not be ineffecient.
I don't perticularly like the look of the 'ripples' on the back of the barrel, but over all it is a good looking barrel.
Lastly the price. How much better can you get? An amazing quality barrel for just $65!! Go out and buy one now, I promise that you will not regret it. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Haven't found anything yet. Awesome quality barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For $65 you can't go wrong. Go out and get on today! |

perfect for Zap Chronic (with stock .689 back) |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Very unique barrel, haven't seen anything like it (good or bad thing, you decide). I got one of the original 15 made (i think it was 15), and i was impressed.
INSANELY light barrel, crap, coming off of my BOA Express this thing weighs nothing.
Very quiet, and my effeciency is still there.
2 piece barrel so you can interchange the back when they come out. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I've only used it once, i only shoot diablo and the bore is too small for this barrel. Even still, the barrel was fairly precise.
When i bought mine there was only one colour. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For the price tag you can't go wrong, and you get a choice of colours and a very unique look. Aardvark is even giving them stock on their custom matrices. |
