| Review: |
My barrel plug was to hard to get out of my barrel and it took to long so I ordered a barrel cover and i think they gave me this on accident or something. It catches the paintballs it doesn't break them. It is durable and looks really cool. It won't scratch the barrel like a plug would. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great barrel cover. I guess it works just like any other. Get this if you're looking for good barrel cover. |

| Review: |
I got this when i went to go paintballing at the field. My old Redz barrel bag was to old a the sling snapped. I knew i had to buy a New barrel Bag from the field and they were only $4.50. I rather spent $4.50 than leaving the field and i had only played less than a hour. This barrel bag is good for the price. Beter than my old Redz. But the redz one i had was realy old so ya. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a good barrel bag for it's price get it |

| Review: |
I got this free from a order of paint and it looked way better than my yellow JT cover so I put it on my 98 and I thought it looked awesome. Empire has an awesome logo. It is so small that it takes a little work to get on. Way better than a barrel plug. It's just a barrel cover so I will end it here. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it unless you find one better. Barrel covers are just ways you can customize your gear and for safety. |

| Review: |
Bought it for five bucks. Put it on my marker. Stood in awe at how cool and agg I now looked with this new barrel cover on. Immediately went out and bunkered the entire other team. (Sure, it was before the game even started, and I was kicked out of the field for the day, but the chicks were all over me!)
Seriously, though, this product works, and does a good job at it. There's not that much to review. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it, as it is much better than a barrel plug. |

| Review: |
Comes in a variety of colors, doesn't scratch my barrel, blocks accidental fires, and looks good doing it. I couldn't have asked for a better product. I don't know about other Empire products, but this is great! Don't hesitate in buying this barrel cover.
Since its a barrel cover, there isn't much more to say. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it. Great, inexpensive product. |

This is a great barrel bag. I like it because it works. It also looks great. I have a red version. Thtas really all there is to say but I would like to add, that it is affordable at only five dollars for one. It is areally good value and would recommend it to veterans or noobs. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I like it, get one |

| Review: |
This barrel sondom is nice but i would rather use the dye but once i got a eblade i used this 1 because i couldent find it and i was in the stageing area and i didnt know it was on so i let some one see my gun because they thought the E2 was awsome so they wanted to see the triger pull and he fired 11 paitnballs and it got all over the barrel sock so i had to clean it out and it was varey east. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good but looks funnt if u care about the looks get the Dye. |

| Review: |
I can't see anyone having a problem with these. They're barrel condoms. The cover your barrel. Thats about it. If mine malfunctions, I'll let you know, but I'm thinking this is a pretty simple peice of technology that can be mastered by anyone. It looks cool. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It's a sound product no problems. get it. |

| Review: |
This is a great product to buy -no barrel plugs EVER- i love it but its can be a little tight to get it on the barrel and the eladtic cord is a little short ,gets way streched putting it on. It comes in a lot of colors compared to other Barrel condoms. It looks great on any gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it now |

| Strengths: |
It looks sick,its empire, its cushiony! ,its soft |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The seams are weak and the band isnt stretchy. |
|
| Review: |
Well i have a red one and it rocks. I would recommend this product, but be careful not to rip the weak seams. I also have throuble geeting it off of a 12 inch barrel at maximum length. But nevertheless a good product. It neoprene, and it stains, but you can just like squeeze it out in water like a towel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Awesome product, but empire needs to make the seams better, and they need to make a less ropelike band. |
