| A barrel sleeve to catch misfired balls. Comes with elastic string so you can leave it dangling from your hopper while you play, meaning it won't fall out of your pocket like a plug. |
|
| Product Availability | |
|
| The JT Barrel Sleeve is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

I've only used barrel plugs before this, but when I got a somewhat better marker they started scratching the smaller bore barrel. So I got this. Not disappointed as of yet. |

| Marker Setup: |
Viewloader Prodigy
Ricochet 2K
Pure Energy 68ci/4500psi
Then a completely pimped out 16oz CO2 tank (buttplate, on/off, anti-syphon)
Coming soon:

Check It Super Speedy dropforward
MacDev MatchStick barrel kit
or...
OGI TES
Evil Detonator
Thousands of spring kits
Check It Super Speedy drop
Bandit TES bolt
and eventually god knows what else... |

Strengths:
+ + + + + LOOKS: I got one in yellow and it's beautiful. I better wash it eventually, as it's turning another colour than the way it looked when I bought it...
+ + + + PROTECTION: Everyone knows that condoms are unequaled in protection :P I was shooting 10bps or so off the break, and my barrel bag was still on :| I must've shot 20 balls. So, I got to my bunker, took it off and it was a bit dirty *nods* that's all. No stitching was torn, even.
+ + + MADE IN MEXICO: It made me think of Cozumel and beaches and diving and.. *drools and realized that isn't fit for this site :P *
Weaknesses:
- - - LAYOUT: That's the best term I could find for it, but here's the problem: Inside of the barrel bag, the middle section of it is overlayed with a thicker material that prevents the bag from tearing apart from 200mph forces. But it's so thin that it only covers half of the bag, and your barrel easily slips to the side and can shoot through the fabric. Hasn't happened yet, but this is the only problem. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A really great barrel bag. Very durable, looks hot but there's one minor problem that hasn't been a real problem yet. |

| Review: |
This barrel condom is WAY better than any other plug. This is simply because it looks cooler and stays on even after one shot. This certain sock has several things good and bad. It looks cool, really bright colors. It also does its job of not letting a ball come out of the barrel. But they don't catch the balls like others. I found this out after testing it. It was a nasty mess. The fabric is also weird feeling. It is all rough, not like others. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it if you are at wal-mart. |

| Review: |
Great product. It's cheap and does its job. Go to wal-mart and buy about 5 of em. They are only 5 bucks!! Stays on gun tightly, made of durable materials, looks good on any gun. They are also very easy to wash if you get them dirty. What else can you say about a barrel condom........... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great Product for a Great Price! |

| Review: |
So i needed a new barrel cover with meh new gun. I was at wally world aka walmart, and i saw this one for sale. It was about 8 bucks so i decided to buy it.
Pros-
Looks- I thought that this was a nice looking cover for its price.
Price- for eight bucks its not that bad of a deal, especially if its sold at wally world.
Durability- This cover is made out of a tough material that will not break if you shoot a ball with it on.
Cons
Breaks Balls- unlike some other brands of barrel sleeves, this one breaks balls if you shoot into it with it on. The paint inside of the sleeve if you dont clean it out after the ball break, leaves your barrel tip coverd in paint.
Hard to Clean- After breaking a total of 2 balls in the sleeve, i went to go wash it out. To turn the thing inside out so i could clean the inside was quite complicated. Also it was quite hard to remove the pieces of broken shells inside. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a good product by JT and if you need a barrel sleeve, get one of these if you dont want to spend a lot of money. I give it an 8 because nothings perfect. |

| Review: |
I really don't see what's special about it... It's a barrell bag, so it just does it's job of covering the barrell... And it's cheap. I haven't used any other barrell bag as this is my first and only one. Probably will be, as for it's duriable. And uh... it's better than a plug. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Uh... Just buy it if you need a new barrell bag. It's $10, and it should last you a long time. Plus if you live in Ontario, Canada, you need a barrell bag because apparently plugs are illegal? Dunno about other places though. |

| Review: |
I guess you should get it . They are all really the same exept they are made by different brands . If you are looking for a barell sleeve just get the cheapest one so that you can money to upgrade he important stuff like your gun . The most you should spend on abarell sleeve is 5-8 dollars . |
|
| Conclusion: |
Everything I just said above . |

| Review: |
The Good:
-Better than a barrel plug!
-Can't be shot off
-Made of rugged material
-5 Bucks at Wal-Mart!!!
The bad:
-Doesn't fit over my Cyclone Feed very well.
Umm I need more words man this isn't such a very good rule because there isn't much to say about a barrel sock!!! Okay I hope this is enough words... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this product, its better than a plug! Plugs can be shot out and fall out of your pocket during games (happened to me 3 times in half an hour) and they are just annoying. This doesn't fall out during a game! |
