| Strengths: |
Its so quiet compared to the Freak. The accuracy of this barrell is incredible, I can now snap targets easily at 100 feet and more, i can hit the handle of a shovel 100 feet away time after time, even in the wind, within 3 shots. With this barrel you are gonna be able to drop a ball where you want it time and time again. The thing looks great, just an AA with an ungraded end really, but I think it really improves on an already awesome barrel. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
If you find anything bad about this barrel its because you are an insatiable grabass. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it, if you own a freak system now I gaurantee youll find this much better. I think this is the best barrel smart parts makes. |

Recommended
Paintballs: |
Marbs are definately the way to go. although most small bore shells shoot excellently with this barrel |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Its accurate and quiet. with the use of an expansionchamber it is almost silent on the field. It tends to have good groupings on targets and shoots well with lower FPS than the shorter barrels. It is honed well and is stiff enough to take moderate abuse. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
In winter time it tends to ice up a little quicker when you are using co2. You really need to really clean it out to get the best performance. squeegie then battle swab it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
99 out of 100 times this is the barrel to use. wether you are a sniper in a scenario game, a regular joe Recball, or a back support person on a speedball field I would reccomend this product. |

|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Extremely accurate
Quieter than most other barrels
Lightweight
Automag threading makes for quick cleaning |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Chopped a couple balls
Don't get a 16, its too long IMO.
|
|
| Review: |
This came with my used automag that I bought on ebay, the gun and the barrel are around 6 years old, so that means this barrel is built to last. I've played with it for around five months since I aquired it, and I like it alot. I can hit anything I want. An even if I chop a ball, a quick sqeegee takes care of it. As I stated above, I personally don't like have 16" of barrel in front of me. The extra inches are only good for pushing in Sup Air bunkers. I suppose you could poke it out of a bush or something, but I liked the Smart Parts quality enough to order a 12" AA.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
The All American Teardrop barrel is an accurate, quiet, lightweight, overall dependable barrel. Its only let me down a couple times by breaking like three out of on thousand balls, but it's easy to clean, and it shoots straight after a sqeegee or two. It doesn't matter what your skill level, I dont think thats a way to classify what equipment you should buy, if you can find this barrel at a good price go ahead and buy it, you wont be dissapointed. I give it an 9. |

| Review: |
I'll just keep it short its extremly accurate, durable, well worth the money, and I think whoever is looking for a barrel try this one. It has never let me down as in braking or shooting disabilities. It shoots best with any balls except really cheap grade balls. Like I said it works good with the line of paintballs from Diablo. This barrel is well worth the money. Enjoy it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it for only $50 its the best |

| Review: |
I got the barrel online, 60$ for shipping and handling included, not bad. I love this barrel! Only one problem, if you shop, you're screwwed unless u have a squeegie with you. I couldn't help but laugh when i chopped pretty badly one time. I shot at a target, say 40 yards away? It went totally away from them. About 30 feet out of the barrel the paintball turned midair. It was hilarious. After 25 shots or so i figured out that it was cause i chopped. I ran a squeegie through it, and started to shoot again. Now i was hitting whatever i was aiming at =D. I never really had a problem with this the other times i played though, it's only if there's a ton of paint in the barrel that it really matters. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'm giving it a 9.75 cause i'm sure there are better barrels, but who wants to pay a couple hundred for something almost as good? Although it |

| Review: |
I got mine off of ebay new for 30 bucks, the guy selling it didnt know what it was. I took it out a target and set out at about 35 yards and shot a bag of old crapy big ball paintballs at it. Not one ball broke, and i was just laying shot on top of shot like the paint was new. I then shot rapid fire to see if it would be any different, and out of 20 paintballs 16 hit. For that being rapid fire, i found it quite impressive. After that i went in to my pb store and bought another front because i was so pleased with it. The sad part is this shoots much better than my boomy does. |
|
| Conclusion: |
You can find it almost anywhere on line for a good price. And it is one of the best barrels i have used or seen. It reminded me alot of the freak set, which it almost is a freak, but who cares. I recommend this to any1. This barrel has made me frown at the performance of dye products now. |

| Review: |
overall a great upgrade for any gun, price is a little high but its well worth it, just make sure you get a good paint to barrel match and your ready to go, probab;lt the best woods ball barrel on the market in my opinion. also the barrel is so much more quiet than any other stock barrel or 14" barrel out there. |
|
| Conclusion: |
definitly buy this barrel if you plan to upgrade, gives great accuracy and distance no matter which gun |

Alleycat by Indian Creek Designs stock barrel. This barrel is phenominal compared to the stock barrel(the stock barrel isn't to impresive, but it gets the job done anyway- no offense to ICD). It is very accurate and quiet. |
|
| Marker Setup: |
I have an Alleycat by ICD. The upgrades are the Teardrop barrel and an expansion chamber. |
|
Recommended
Paintballs: |
JT, Proball, or Marblizer. |

|
|
| Strengths: |
It's accurate, quiet, tuff, easily cleaned and not expensive for a nice barrel. I was aproxamately 100 feet away from someone on my opposing team, he was hiding behind a tree with his hopper exposed so i took three shots at it and hit it twice. NICE! |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It's a little heavy but I didn't find it really noticeable out on the field. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I find this product to be of excelent quality and give 2 thumbs up for players ranging from newbie to advanced. |

I got this all american teardrop barrel for my model 98. It is great! It's accurate and very quit. Now I can hit someone 175 feet away accurate. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It somewhat hard to get use to, but I was using a 8 inch stock barrel. My stock barrel sucks, but it's short. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it's worth the money!!!!!!!
I got my on ebay for $65 + shipping. Which equal out to $70! Very good price if you ask me. He it was used, but it looked brand new. There wasn't a scrath on it. I checked! |

| Review: |
This barrel is so cool everything I aim at I hit. As i said above Iwas aiming at a small tree from about 150 ft. and snaped off about 10 shots, everyone hit the tree. Then I tried the same with my stock barrel and it took me about 20 shots to hit the tree twice. I absolutely love this barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are going to buy a new barrel this is the one it's quiet, accurate, durable, and it cuts a lot of the sound. |
