| Dark Series Barrel. This 14 inch, .689 bore barrel, available in black or silver, has a sleek, edgy cosmetic design that automatically makes any marker look hotter than Britney Spears in that last naughty video. The straight, aerodynamic porting allows the maximum amount of gas to escape, giving your balls the truest flight it can. Add to that butta' smooth honing and polishing to reduce friction, and you've got a great new barrel. |

SMALL BORE PAINT!!! *This is very important. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
The barrel is lightweight. Very accurate. It's very quiet and just looks evil on my Mayhem. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Do not try and shoot any kind of medium or large bore paint out of it. I find DIablo Dusk and Blaze work wonderfully in it. If you need to shoot large bore paint, you might want to get another barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Use small bore paint, and this barrel will shine; Use large bore paint and you'll spend all your time shining your barrel. |

| Review: |
I got this barrel from mike at warped, and paid only 35 bucks for it. I love how well it works, and how it looks. It currently holds the place of honor on my cocker and I like every aspect of it so far. it is a great performer, sweet bang for your buck, and a feather weight. it is all aluminum, a one peice, which in my book is a good thing because a two piece doesn't always line up just perfectly. I would recomend this to all, and have one for both me dragun and my cocker |
|
| Conclusion: |
get it, it is only 45 bucks or so, can't find a beter performer for that cost, or anywhere near that cost |

| Conclusion: |
Get it. People are always saying how Boomsticks or whatever is so much better then all other barrels... This is just as good and cost much less then a Boomstick. I think it looks better too... but that is just on my gun. Get it. |

| Review: |
Great barrel, I have it on my proto (not a great marker). It shoots the cheep stuff, and takes away spread that high end guns sometimes have.
Believe it or not I think this adds distance too.
Shooting 25 a case seconds from 50 yards away, 200 rounds at 15bps from a halo B went in a 2 by 3 foot box
wow. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Cheep, and does the job well |

| Review: |
This barrel is great and its cheaper then the Ultralite which is prolly its biggest competitor. But most imporant of all is that this barrel is accurate. In my opinion this is better then the UL. I use this on my empire timmy and even when i rip the balls are grouped in a 5 inch diameter. This barrel is great for any front or back players. The 15inch is a unigue lenght, not too long and not too short. I play snake and this barrel is very comfortable to get around tight spaces. Also this barrel alows u to shoot ropes. With this barrel on your gun, its more of playinf laser tag then paintball. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this barrel. Its cheap, and more accurate then the UL. |

| Review: |
I picked this up a little bit ago because of the price it was at and it's reputation. It's defintely an awesome barrel.
Through it i've shot four kinds of paint, and the only one that seemed to have a little trouble was Midnight. Everythign else has shot great out of it.
For weaknesses i haven't really found any yet. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is defintely the barrel to get if you're not going to get a kit. If you don't get a kit, it's pointless to spend twice as much to get a boomstick or something along those lines, when this barrel performs just as well for around 45 dollars. |

| Review: |
i bought this barrel based on the other reviews, and i was pleased. just like they said, its very accurate and very quiet. i havnt used any big bore size and i doubt that anyone should because small bore - medium bore work amazing. also it looks sweet. the two devils on the sides kick ass. |
|
| Conclusion: |
this barrel is worth every penny. i found it for 45 on many different sites. accurate and quiet at a decent price. |

| Review: |
the good= i can consistently hit the bottom of a basket ball goal with one shot from 100 feet: i did this repeatedly and all of them hit the goal with the competitive edge pballs . almost no drop off except after 80+ft . I nailed my freind in the mask from 75 ft with one shot . excelent barrel i am so glad that i baught it. Oh and the bore SIZE WAS .685.
the bad= next to none except my barrel is silver and i play woods ball a lot. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Best barrel for 50 bucks so glad i baught it |

i found farily large to medium size paintballs to be the best for me. a local shop owner recommended pmi paintballs. |

|
| Strengths: |
flew very straight and accurate |
|
| Weaknesses: |
didn't like small paint i guess |
|
| Review: |
as long as i used fairly large to medium paint the barrel worked just fine. i was able to do the one shot/kills that are so hard to come by. only time i ever had a problem was when i was using the diablo dusk paint and sometimes the paint didn't fly quite as straight, once again i think that the paint was too small for the barrel. I put diablo dusk paint in my new e-pipe and found it fit best on .683 a little bit too small for the warped .689, with this awsome barrel i would suggest something like pmi superswirl or marbalizer, either one should work fine. My friends and I tested the barrel on a shutter, gt v1, sonix, e-99, and a black dragun. It worked as awsome on all of them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
great barrel, i would definetly get another one if i needed it. fairly cheap, i payed only about 50$ at the store in my town. as long as you use medium to large paint it will treat you just fine and give you some amazingly accurate shots with nearly any marker. i give it a nine since the bore size is so large and the trying to find the paint can be a pain sometime trying to get it fit for this barrel, still the accuracy makes up for it. |

| Review: |
I like it for its price vs. Quility area. This has them all beat. It is surprisinly accurate for not beinga two piece. I would say its equil to all of the dye line easy. That coming from a dye lover by the way. It is very durible to i hit the bunker on a slide and didnt have a nick on it. I love it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Definitly this is a smart buy. Why because its cheap and is better than barrels twice its price. |
