| Unquestionably the most technically advanced precision-machined barrel system ever designed. Every back half in the set is measured three times for accuracy and engineered to greatly increase the performance of your marker and game. This powerful combination promotes reduced friction and increase the accuracy level of your gun tremendously. |

| Review: |
~Pros~
- Light
I can't even feel it on my gun
- Quiet
About the volume of a sponge hitting a tree
- Good, non flashy color
Frosted black
- No one has it
This can be either a good or bad thing - It's nice to walk onto a field and know that no
no one has the same barrel as you
- Accurate
Within a six inch radius at fifty feet ( 23/ 30 hit bullseye)
- Self cleaning
This will work better if you have a good bore fit
- Sturdy
Just as strong as most other barrels - Take good care of it anyways
- Inexpensive
Go get a Boomy for 50 bucks more for less performance
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
~Cons~
- Feels fragile
Don't worry, it isn't *
- Friends want to borrow her
Ahhhhahaaahaah... learn to say no
- .......
Trying to think of something....
------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
*Take good care of her anyways
I feel kinda like a newb, givin' her a 10/10... it's obnoxious, 'cause I couldn't think of anything else wrong.
Also, people say that J&J stuff never comes with an o - ring (not that it's a problem, just get some extras), but mine did... it was in the barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really love this barrel, and I would suggest you give 'er a try too. Unless you're using something like an Edge or some other high end kit, this is one of the best you can find. I'm not saying that this is the best thing ever, but it's up there.
If you have any problems with her, go ahead and ask me. I would be glad to help.
Good luck.
Peace. |

| Review: |
When I first got my A5 I was supremely disappointed in the stock barrel. I tried out some of my friends barrels including a 1 piece J&J ceramic and a smart parts teardrop. I could definitely tell that they were a vast improvement over the stock. After checking on pbreview I found the full tilt, and its impressive 9.8 rating and decided to pick one up. The Draxxus IAO was coming and when I saw the J&J booth I asked the price, 40$, so I picked one up.
I field tested it when i got home, then later went paint-balling a few times using many different kinds of paint that I had, and some of my friends too. I used everything from RPS All-Stars and Marbalizers to Brass Eagle Blue-Streak. I started with the old blue streak and was amazed at the accuracy of it. It was when i used the All-stars that i knew this barrel was a good investment. I hit a 3 inch from from 50 ft away with almost 15 shots. I was amazed that this barrel shot this well for only being 40$.
In addition to it being deadly accurate, it was nearly silent. My stock barrel made my gun sound like a hand-cannon, but now its down to a more manageable volume. It also looks dead sexy on my gun. The black back matches my gun perfectly and the 14" green front looks awesome.
One thing that I did notice while observing it at the J&J booth, was the inside looks like a highly polished MIRROR. I was totally amazed how shiny it was. I figured that it would dull after firing some rounds through it, but I had put almost 2k rounds through it and it is still as shiny as the day i bought it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would definitly recommend getting this barrel, it has all the features that make the best barrel, without breaking your budget. Its accurate, quiet, and looks great for all under 40$. |

| Review: |
I tried the flatline and stock barreals before this one. Im gonna go ahead and save you 130$ and alot of wrinkles, dont buy the flatline. Its good the first few shot, but after that it completly messes up. If one drop of moisture or paint gets in the barrel, hopper, or front bolt u might as well go home. This J&J is absoultly awsome. It has great accuracy, is very quiet, and looks really cool. I have only broken a few balls becuase of some crappy pain, but the barrel cleaned inself right up after a few dry fires. This accuracy on this barrel is incredible. The internal teflon coating is very smooth and finely honed, you can tell the high amount of craftsman ship that went into this thing. At 150 feet, i can hit a 4 foot by 2 propane tank in 2 shots! No joke, this barrel is just amazing. I reccomend using the Proto Dart paint with this barrel because of the perfect bore sizeing, but if you're willing to fork out the extra cash, go with hellfire. In addition to being lightweight, this is also a very quiet stick. It has nice porting that doesnt start too soon or let too much air out and is perfect for woods ball or sniping tatics. If someone sticks so much as a foot out from behind a bunker, you will own them. I have the 16" and it can be a little cumbersome sometimes. But since this is a TWO piece barrel this isnt a problem, since you can just go buy another length tip. Did I mention the price? 80$ shipped and handled. Got questions? Ask me at spinserve1@yahoo.com |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would reccomed this very much. If you just got a 98c and want to upgrade, buy this before anything else. Accuracy, scilence, price, and easiness of cleaning. Its all there. |

| Review: |
This barrel is awesome! Its mat black finish looks great with the Tippmann. I could not believe how accurate this barrel is, the balls go where you want them. I fired 10 balls in rapid succession from a distance of 30 feet and the cluster was all within a 6 inch diameter. |
|
| Conclusion: |
To avoid being long winded, I will end by saying that I like to augment my body count and with this barrel; you are as good as painted! So considering I like the unfair advantage, you should definitely not get this barrel. |

Strengths
-Ridiculously accurate
-Self-cleaning
-Quiet as a mouse farting
-Looks sick
-Light
-Cheap for a great barrel ($55)
Weaknesses
To start the game you fire two shots and the other team returns these two shots. The full tilt is so quiet that when i fired the two shots, no one heard and the game never started...ever.
Body
The full-tilt is like...the best. It is accurate to the extreme. I can easily hit a tree 8 inch wide tree 50 feet away for practically an entire hopper and not miss once.
It is also the most quiet barrel i have ever heard.
The barrel actually looks perfect with my gun, even though people say, "it doesn't match" Of course its not the stock barrel, but it matches nicer than any other barrel i have used.
The barrel is also very light. Barely feel it at the end of your marker.
Above i said "light" not fragile. Everyone I told that I got this barrel was like "ew ceramic, it'll crack in half if it hits a tree :) im so funny" The answer is simple.. "NO" The inside coating is ceramic which self-cleans the barrel after at least two shots. It also causes very little friction which makes the ball go farther and more accurate.
It's 55 bucks, whats 55 bucks for the J&j FULL TILT??¿¿
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Awesome, accurate, and nice. If you DO NOT buy this barrel for a mere $55, you have made a mistake that you will forever regret. |

| Review: |
I bought the all american when I got my marker and was very pleased, that is until I got the j&j! The ceramic is everything the a/a is and to me slightly more accurate and quieter. I especially like the flat black color since I am into scenario games. I have went through 2000 balls and not one break! |
|
| Conclusion: |
The full tilt is a great barrel will keep my a/a as a back up. I got mine on Ebay for $36 plus $3.25 for s&h. It's funny when you go to their actual site, they charge $8.50 in s&h! Reccomend going through Ebay. Buy it, you'll love it! |

| Review: |
Time to refresh the review.
I was tipped off to this barrel by its high rating (9.8 is nothing to sneeze at, well it was 9.8 when I bought mine...) and ordered it off the 'net for $55. It came about a week after I ordered it. I was originally planning on getting a flatline barrel but after the mixed reviews it received I was skeptical. So anyways first time playing with this barrel I went to the target range and started shooting, I was horrified at the disgusting accuracy of this thing. So I thought to myself "Man, why did I waste my money on this peice of crap?" When I lowered the gun from my shooting stance after my appalling target practice I noticed little gobbets of pink fill dripping from the porting of the barrel. Oh, damn, I chopped a ball. That's odd tippmann don't chop balls... Anyways after spending a half hour cleaning out all the damn paint from my bolt and chamber (damn tippmann no-field strip *grrr shakes fist*) I went back to the target range, same thing happens. Anyways to make a long story short I had some bad internals which needed to be replaced.
Fast forward one week from saturday, Now that I have removed my ball-blender kit (bad hammer+sear) I can actually get down to some serious paintballing. I skipped the target range this time and headed straing ou to the field to kick some a--. I was completely blown away. I went from zero "kills" to twice my "deaths" from the increased accuracy and effective range. (effective range: the distance at which a weapon can accurately and effectively engage targets. The curveball will go 100' easy.... to the left :)
I can now play at the ranges I am more comfortable working with (60'-120' rec, backman speed.) and do well.
The lowdown on this barrel. This barrel is basically an Edge front and back
(I think .689) coated with teflon impregnated ceramic. Very smooth, If I could make it flat it would look like the black floors in the death star (for all you non-starwars geeks death star floors = really really really shiny) not bad, now if only I could get back in .682, .686, .692 and .695 I would be set, Alas there is no hope of getting the full kit.
Now, the part you've all been wating for *drumroll* the self-cleaning feature. It seems to work as it's advertised just not as well. When I had a barrel-break due to oversized paint it took me a half a hopper to shoot straight again. So it does work as advertised, no if you want to work faster try and do some dry-firing with your hand over the muzzle to blow the paint out. |
|
| Conclusion: |
My final reccomendationg you say. If you have a lower end marker then this is about as good as you are goin to get for a barrel without a kit. However If you do have the cash (unlike me) then go for a barrel kit such as freak, edge, evil pipe, kaner, empire etc etc. Like I said before If you use something like a tippmann or spyder then this is the god of barrels. I give it a perfect 10, compared to a kit it would be lower but we are not comparing this to a kit now are we? .' ) |

This is a great barrel for any marker out there. This barrel will definitely improve your markers performance. I upgraded from stock and can see and hear a huge difference. Its so quite with great range to wear one time I was playing woods-ball and was sneaking up on to guys and shot one of them from about 80ft away . the other guy kept walking until he heard his teammate call hit.It is also very light but very good quality. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this barrel to anyone if your looking for a quite, light, accurate, and dependable barrel. |

| Review: |
I love this barrel. Great for anything you need, and what could be better for a barrel then accuracy. Shot a TON of different paints with it as was happy with most. Breaks were easy to clean and accuracy didn't drop off after them.
My only real complaint is the fact of how easy it is to mark up the outside of this barrel. Mine now being 5 months old looks like its been through a way (ok, it has) Not a single drop off in preformance though which why I am not taking off points for it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
GREAT barrel, and worth the upgrade over the regular Ceramic, go buy 2!!! |

| Review: |
I've used this barrel on my Custom Pro for a few games now and it's really done me well. I don't really rip obviously, because I'm shooting a mech blowback, but it puts paint on paint. I sometimes use a red dot and it really does allow me to sight at short to medium range. It was expensive for a single barrel, but you do get what you pay for. Teflon impregnated ceramics mean you can shoot any breaks clean (though I didn't have any), and also a consistent and smooth bore. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all, this barrel is definitely worth getting if you're looking for a solid well performing barrel, and don't have a buttload to spend.
Nothing really wrong with it. 9 for almost perfect! |
