Review:
I got my system for $200 on a website. It comes in 3 different colors, and there is a 4,7 and 9 piece set. It is the best barrel that I have ever used. It is the most accurate barrel that I have shot. I hit a 3in post 50 feet away 4 out of 5 times. It is so silent with its reverse porting because you get the full blast of it, but who ever your shooting at can't hear it. It easy to make it inaccurate by not matching the paint right with it's 6 backs (0.68,0.683,0.686,0.689,0.692,0.695)and 3 lengths (12,14,16). But it is hard to find, Its hard to find the right one on ebay because they only have 2-6 on em on at a time and it needs to be the right color and type. It is so light though. The 16in one with a back only weighs 8oz. I did have one problem though, the 2 pieces got stuck together and I couldn't get them apart for a hour. I finally figure out that there is a hex wrench spot in the back and you can put a allen wrench through the porting to get it off. I have heard about the problems with the freak and this one fixes all of them like no fragile inserts, portings in the far front and not everywhere
Pros
Accurate
looks
silent
conservitive
no fragile inserts
more lengths
awsome case
3 colors
Cons
Price
the stuck together thing
hard to find
Conclusion:
buy it if you are series about paitball BUY IT! but if you don't want to spend the money buy a phat performance stick (just as good with out dif bors and lengths). I give it a 9.5 because it got stuck together and they are so hard to find but that rounds to a ten. Nice work ACI

Freak barrel system. Dye boomstick, not a system, but thought i'd throw it in anyway.
Marker Setup:
'99 free flow autococker
gen-x2 reg
supafly bolt
etc.
Recommended Paintballs:
I really don't have any specific paint to recommend. I find that due to the variable sizing, you can use whatever you want.
Strengths:
Multple barrel lengths, Bore sizes, and PRICE
Weaknesses:
The only weakness that I have found, is that I can always use more sizes!
Review:
This barrel system incorporates beauty and function, cost and variety, as well as weight and materials. I purchased the pro package with 3 different front lengths, and 6 backs with different bores. It is the black front and chrome back model. I paid under $200 for what is effectively 18 different barrels. The weight difference is huge, especially compared to my old boomstick. At first I was afraid of damaging the barrels. It seemed that the weight of the aluminum alloy barrel system could not handle the punishment of running through the woods. I was pleasently surprised when I accidentally dropped my marker barrel first, and had no damage to the barrel! As for it weakness, well you can always use more bore sizes, but this has quite a few more options than most. I am extremely happy with my purchase!
Conclusion:
I definitely recommend this product. It has been a great addition to my collection.
I use diablo in it. But it really doesn't matter because it has 3 backs
Strengths:
changeable backs
nifty little suitcase
angled porting
Weaknesses:
none so far
Review:
I bought this because I wanted resonable accuracy for different sizes of paint. So far I am very impressed. I can lay paintballs on top of eachother from a decent range. I also really like the suitcase that it comes with, it makes me feel like a hitman :). I can't believe the price either. I only paid $90 at the local proshop.
Conclusion:
I am glad that I found this barrel, and it was well worth the money.

Recommended Paintballs:
Not old stuff
Strengths:
I have the seven piece. Quiet. Most accurate barrel I have ever used.
Weaknesses:
Could use another back. (get the nine piece) Expensive.
Review:
I love this kit. It is soo acurate. the only thing is that the finish that they put on the tips of the barrels is kinda frayed funny. It doesn't affect accuracy, but it is there. Nothing to worry about, but enough to drop the score. The reverse porting is really cool. It points the sound toward you, not your enemy. It also sounds cool getting shot at by it. All you hear is this cool fetttewwww sound. Buy it. It's magic.
Conclusion:
Buy it if you want to own your opponents. Have to give nine because of the finish thing.
Hard to find
stuck a lot (correct it with lithium grease)
Review:
Man avery one that sees barrels on a little black box they know that you are taking paintball to the next level
all the guys stop and aks me man where do you get them? (after I paint their face pink)
wont use the 12 piece over my lapco big shot but I had a phat barrel and Im going to sell it after this kit
I use them over my evil pipe kit
Conclusion:
Buy them if you find them cheap
it will be a nice investment

Review:
I decided that I needed a barrel kit after a disastrous scenario game where my balls were smaller than the barrel. As a result, the balls would veer madly once propelled from my gun. The scenario host suggested a barrel kit.
I started checking around on price and ran into kits that cost $100 or more. Too much.
Then, I found the 7-piece version of this kit on eBay and won it for the low, low price of $30! Not bad for what started as a $200 barrel kit!
I have since used this kit twice. One time, the balls were different sizes and too brittle (see my review on Draxxus Blaze paintballs). Last time, the .689 back fit the RPS Premiums I was using perfectly. I had no barrel breaks; the one break I had left no trace in the barrel so it must have been popcorning or something else.
My shots flew straight and true. I was able to shoot between multiple trees and branches to get to my target most of the time. If they were in the open, I had no problem reaching them even from a good distance.
The only problem with this kit is that it seems to be discontinued and the company no longer seems to exist.
Conclusion:
If you can find it, get it. It'll probably be cheap and the value is outstanding.
pretty much any kind just match the paint with the bore
Strengths:
Accuracy
Looks
Very light
Very quiet
Weaknesses:
I honestly havent found any
Review:
I was a bit skeptical about getting this barrel system because they were so rare and there were so little reviews, but Im glad i got it. I got mine brand new off of ebay for $51 and I think it might be the best barrel system ever made. I can hit almost anything with this barrel it has just been wonderful. I mean i have even shot ppl that from about 50 yards (no it doesn't add range) but the ball will stay straight no matter what the distance.
Conclusion:
It is dead on so if you get a good deal on this like i got make sure you buy it because i honestly dont think you will find a better barrel. I would give it a 9.5 because nothing is perfect but im gonna bump it up to a ten cuz it is so great.
any paint can be used just size it up with the proper bore size too.
Strengths:
Quiet,accurate,very nice quality, nice selection of sizes and lengths.
Weaknesses:
None as of yet.
Review:
I bought this used. Comes with a nice hard case. Mine came with a 10,12,and 14" fronts.The back bores are:.686,.689,.692,and .695. Front and backs are all silver. I have found these to be as high of quality as any Dye barrels. As I have stated previously, I really haven't experienced any "barrel breaks" . I did have some last winter due to the weather and the barrel that I used was not able to "shoot through" but I am not sure if I was using this barrel system or the stock infinity barrel. I decided to exclude it from this review. I will update later when I experience a ball break. From the looks of the barrel porting I would guess it will not shoot through breaks,but I don't think it is fair to evaluate that aspect without experiencing it. My one complaint would be that I have experienced a few times the barrel coming loose while playing. This is easily fixed by an o-ring. So very miniscule...
Accuracy is no problem. I find that my accuracy (or lack of) is more to do with me, or the paint I use.As far as the barrel goes I think it shoots as accurate as any other high quality barrel.
Loudness is terrible!!! just kidding. It may actually sound louder to you, but that is because it directs the sound back to you. Playing in woods, people definitly have a hard time finding where the shooting is coming from.
Conclusion:
All in all, it is a nice quality barrel system. I believe it does what it is meant to do. Shoot accurately, and quietly. Shooting through breaks is yet to be resolved for me. I have gone back and forth about selling my system as I am a firm believer that I/ you don't need a kit just a bigger bore system like a .695 or .692 barrel for any given gun.With the exception of Autocockers. So I don't really recommend this to anyone unless you absolutely NEED a kit and like spending the money. I actually would give it an 8.6 or so which rounds to 9. I don't think its the best in my opinion, and it isn't proven to shoot thru breaks, so if anything changes I will update appropriately.

Cant shoot through breaks
Review:
OK my friend bought this set and just got it recently well he couldn't test it with his Angel for awhile cuz of work so he asked if i could shoot it through mine well i took it outside a little cold so that might have effected the results but i was shooting really fast as usual about 27bps and well i broke one of the last Pb's and well i tried to shoot through it and it got bad. they shot all over the place paint was going around the garage i believe thats the only problem but i will keep testing it and update this later but so far its super accurate just make sure you dont break :)
Conclusion:
Well its not really worth it if your gun breaks alot of paint but you can stop it from breaking by getting thicker shell paintballs

Strengths:
Different barrel lengths and nice back barrels, and nice hard case comes with it.
Weaknesses:
Could always use more sizes
Review:
This is a nice barrel system, I wish I would have got the 9 piece kit but I got it off ebay and the 7 piece was all that was offered at the time. I'm using the smallest back barrel in the kit and the balls I use need one size smaller. So now I have to find balls to fit this barrel. Which defeats the purpose of getting a multi barrel kit. If you get one, get the 9 piece kit. The barrels are accurate but they are no more accurate than my stock 14" Autococker barrel that came with the gun. Autococker makes some of the best guns you can buy, so trying to make them better is no easy task. For most other guns I'm sure you will see more accuracy with these barrels. The barrels are also nice and quiet. Its hard to pin point where the shot came from because they are so quiet. Does anyone know where I can buy the 2 back barrels my kit is missing?
Conclusion:
Good product, but not the improvement I had hoped for.
