| Made from high polished aluminum and then nickel plated, this air rifled, two piece quality barrel performs as great as it looks. Available in 12 and 14 inch lengths, there is an ICE COLD barrel for the Model 98, the Spyder and for Tippmann models. |
|

|
| The 32 Degrees Ice Cold Barrel is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

Paintballs: |
At 285 fps Diablo Blaze paintballs perform the best in these barrels. |

| Strengths: |
It's a great barrel for the price. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Can't think of any. |
|
| Review: |
I recommend that you upgrade your stock barrel. The longer the barrel, the more friction occurs between the barrel and the paintball. And consequently more air pressure is needed to force the paintball out of paintball barrels. I use a 12" 32 Degrees Ice Cold Medium Bore Barrel which is just that, Ice Cold!!! With your velocity set at 285 fps and the use of quality (Diablo Blaze) medium bore paintballs this barrel shows no mercy. Don't waste your time trying to hide because with this barrel you should dominate the field. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend different barrels for different field conditions. So buy a barrel that you won't miss with because you may not get a second chance. |

Paintballs: |
I've only used Diablo midnight with this barrel, it worked great! Nice paint to bore match. I also have to believe that 32 degrees would be good, cause after all they make the barrel. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
It is very accurate, I get tight groupings of shots when I use it. Also it is very quiet. Black draguns are notoriously loud, but this barrel shut mine right up.
It is also very light and seems to have good balance to it. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The only bad thing I can think of is the fingerprint marks other people have mentioned. They actually dont show up as well as other people claim. And if you actually care enough about that sort of thing, you better buy something totally made out of black or whatever. Performance always comes first for me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
BUY THIS BARREL! You will not be dissapointed if you are looking for a reasonably priced, well performing part for your gun. I somehow managed to get mine for 20$ on ebay and for that price you just can lose. Overall, I give this a 10 |

| Strengths: |
The good...well, there's alot of good in this barrell, to start off, it's dirt cheap-i think everyone can agree cheap things are good.
Secondly, i believe this barrel shoots just as accuratly and as far as the boomstick, I tested both of them one wasn't really different from the other. also this barrel is very quiet-which is good, I've chopped about 2 balls in it, and i actually cleaned it out fairly well with 4-5 shots, I really like this barrel, i play with it alot more than i do with my boomstick. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It's a little long for my, and perhaps other people's liking, but aside from that, I can't really find anything wrong with it.
Here's a bad thing-people who dis on 32 degrees. I have many 32 degrees parts on my marker, and I shoot their paint, and NOTHING is wrong with them, i actually find them to make very good products, at a reasonable price. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This barrel is well worth it's price, and performs well. and LAY OFF 32 DEGREES!!! It's a great company.
I'd give a nine just because it could be a little shorter, but it's other features REALLY make up for it. |

Paintballs: |
Just about anything other than cheap paint as usual. Its not very picky on paint so thats a plus. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
This barrel is fairly decent for what it cost me. The shots somtimes curve on my gun and the distance is limited compaired to some other barrels I've tried. The shots are surprisigly quiet! Almost as quiet as my whisper. That was always a plus. Nobody I played with had ever seen one, so they would always oo and ahh when I walked onto the field. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
As I said, the balls somtimes curve and go all wonky on you. Occationaly chops paint... and the distance isnt all that great. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This barrel is a better than average barrel, but... not the best barrel. Because of that, I'm giving it a 7 |

| Strengths: |
Really durable, plays good in cold, wet, dry, hot, or basically any kind of weather or playing circumstances. Lasts a while. I've had mine for about a year and it has really stayed above most other barrels. It's fast, accurate, and quiet, which is everything you need for a silent attack. Back when I still had my Tippman, I installed the new Flatline Barrel System and chopped one out of every 3 balls. The Ice Cold didn't chop one. Needless to say, I sold the Tippman and upgraded to a F4 Illustrator Tp with the works. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The chrome really stands out, so even if you are hidden well, you will still be seen. I have been sought out and many times because the opposing team was able to see my barrel.Scratches, tarnishes, and stains really easily. Mine no longer looks good even though I took the best of care of it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is an all over decent barrel. I would recommend this barrel to beginners, however, I believe that expierienced players would look to a better quality, accurate barrel. This worked great on my Tippman, not to mention lasted me well over a year. Now, I have not seen this barrel used on any other type of gun, due to the fact that none of my paintball buddies own one of these 32 Degrees. |

| Review: |
This barrel rocks. It costs anywhere from 40-55$. I am a new player but for some reason i know alot about paintball. I havent used this barrel in any actual game, only test shot in my back yard at trees. It is absolutely silent! no joke! I was about 30 feet from a tree, i just raised it up, aimed for like a second and shot, nailing a tiny branch up high off the ground. It never breaks a ball, i have shot like 3 hoppers out of this thing and have had no problems. I was incredably surprised by the range on this thing, its insane! It looks really hot and is very light and durable. I cant wait to use this thing for the first time this weekend! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Accurate, break free, Q.U.I.E.T, long range, great price, EVERYTHING IS GOOD JUST BUY IT DANGIT! |

| Review: |
This is a really nice barrel if you are looking to upgrade from your stock barrel. It is very accurate and has a nice range. It quieted my marker down too. After a few woods games it will have scratches on it, but it won't affect the performance at all. I got my barrel of ebay for 35 bucks. It is cheap for the quality. It is easy to clean as well. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great barrel for the price. It is accurate and quiet, it also looks very attractive. |

Tippmann flatline barrel shoots far and is somewhat accurate but me and my friend had a test. He shot his gun at a wall and i would have to match it. He shot his at about 30ft away and my paint landed right next to his, just overlaping it. |

I use the custom 98 with a 16oz tank and a 32 degrees ice cold barrel. |

Paintballs: |
ZAP definitly ZAP they go through tippmanns nicely especially with this barrel ive shot close to all the balls in my case with only uno break ( 1 break ). |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Everything- spiral porting, smooth inside, 2 peice barrel, cheap, cool looking. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
A lot of idiots say it is bad because it leaves fingerprints, yes it does leave prints but if you like to play paintball and are not out for the looks of the barrel to impress your friends but for accuracy, no breaks, and far flying shots then this is the barrel to get. Those people are just plain stupid and i wish they would shut the hell up, my god your complaining about PRINTS!!?? |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great barrel its accurate, shoots straight for a long time ( bout 3 times as straight and as long as stock ) looks cool, even with prints!! and its cheap. |

| Review: |
This is an excellent barrel for woodball and/or sniping. Probably not so good for speedball due to its 14" length. It's made from aircraft aluminum and nickel plated, which makes it incredibly durable and nearly abuse proof. It's medium-light (weighs about 5 oz. compared to my Zero Gravity's 2.75 oz.) yet offers great dent/bend resistance. Excellent spiral porting and medium thick material make this an extremely quiet barrel. Of course, it's also very accurate. Can turn a so-so gun into a macho marker. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this barrel. You won't be sorry. Rugged, accurate, great looking, quiet. Large bore accommodates just about any paint. |

| Review: |
I don't have a lot of experience with barrels, but this is a lot better than the stock barrel on my 98c. i got it with a package of stuff. its accurate, quiet(er), and adds a sense of bling bling to your gun.
on the other hand, depending on what you play, bling bling may not be desirable, and the finish always gets little blemishes. there are better barrels for the money, i think. |
|
| Conclusion: |
not the best barrel, but a nice one all the same. i'll give it an eight. |
