| Review: |
The Redz Pepperstickz barrel kit is a very nice piece of gear. I've been using it on my DM5 for about a month and a half now... Got one of the very first kits sold. :) It's quiet, extremely accurate, and performs as good as it looks. I like it more than my Freak kit because it's just solid backs, no messing about with sleeves, and the backs are a full 8 inches long which, IMO, increases accuracy. Has a nice, mirrorlike finish on the inside of the barrel ... The porting on the tips are shaped like chili peppers...rather unique. Also comes extremely well packaged, in it's own heavily padded case with neoprene retaining sleeves for each of the backs and the two tips. Some people may not like that it only comes in 14 and 16 inch tip lengths, but for me that works just fine because I mainly play speedball, and who uses less than a 14 inch barrel anyways? :)
|
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all, an excellent performer .... I like it much better than my freak kit, just seems to work better for me. Blows my old Kaner kit out of the water. I don't think you will be disappointed, the price is definately worth it! |

| Review: |
I shot about 1000 paintballs through this barrel in my backyard (marbilizers) and the accuracy was amazing. I was shooting less than a 1 foot group at 100 feet, about 8-10 inches. This barrel is quiet, not as quiet as my friends stiffi, but almsot. it shot through breaks about as good as anything els, shoot a couple of balls through first, then run a squeege through it and ittl shoot like brand new. i couldnt break a ball in this barrel, so i had to crush one and pour the remains inside. This barrel is extremely light, i couldnt believe how light it was compared ot my JJ. Its also really good looking. At the end of the barrel there are chilli peppers milled in it with porting drilled around them, it looks really neet. I shot a friends cocker with a freak on it and i think this barrel is way more durable and just as accurate, while being alot cheaper. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This barrel is just amazing compared to my stock barrel, and my JJ. I would highly reccommend getting this barrel, take the risk, i did, and im very glad i did, i now have one of the most accurate barrels at my field and for 50 bucks less then a Freak. |

| Review: |
I bought this barrel kit about a month after it came out, and to put it simple ive been very impressed since i payed for it. I got it for cheaper than the freak and pipe kit at $120. When it arrived i was impressed with the carrying case it came with and plus it had a nice redz squegee with it aswell. the anno job was pretty much spotless and the milling on the tips is pretty sweet. after i got the smallest back out(.687) and pu ton the 14" tip i went out and shot a few hundred rounds. It shot darts and not a single barrel break. the barrel looks great on most guns and shoots even better much more accurate and easier to use than my friends Freak. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I highly reccomend this product to anyone with an Autococker threaded marker. Great 10/10 |

I chronoed with a ulta lite with heat paint 295 297 298 over the chrone - same paint with the pepper stick I shot 308 306 308 - had to turn it down which was acceptable. Anodizing and finish was perfect / inside polish is great is why I had to turn it down I guess. |

| Review: |
This kit works as stated. 4 Backs, 2 tips works well. It seems if I break paint, it does not line the back piece like other barrels. I just squeegie the tip and it is fine. This must be the fine polish on the inside. Porting is cool with the chili pepper and having 2 tips allows me to let a teamate use one also. Barrel lines up well when tip is screwed onto back. I just added an o-ring on to mine just in case of it coming apart. All in all for the price this kit is better in my opinion to the freak, and only one I know that has a little cool porting. The case is great, felt lined and a hard compressed foam small enough to fit in a gear bag no problem. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great buy - Kit that works as stated and isn't bulky. |

| Review: |
Wow what can i say about this. I picked this barrel up about 2-3 months ago and i love it. Coming off the Boomstick, this thing is better. The milling on this barrel is one of a kind, you can't find it on ANY other barrel. The barrel is almost a perfect weight, not too light not too heavy, the weight distributation is really good. The 2-piece allows the Pepper Stick to be very accurate, as it reshapes the ball in the front piece to ensure supreme accuracy. At a price of $49.99($99.99 for the kit), you can't find a better barrel for the price, and yes CP, J&J, and Proto all make good barrels for around $50, but this is by far the best looking and queitest barrel of them all. If you buy the Pepper Stick, you will not be sorry you did. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Definetly one of the best barrel's out there. Sweet milling, accuracy, weight distributation, and price, what more could you want? |

| Review: |
Lets face it, any multi piece barrel kit is going to help you out. The stock barrel on my Auto cocker is not bad but not too good either. After going to local stores and fields and asking other players, I found that everybody had a gripe about whatever barrel they were using except two people I met who were using this kit. After checking out theirs I decided to orrder it for myself. A week later and all I can say is WOW. Flawless machine work, perfect fit and very accurate sizing, make this the best barrel kit I have come across so far.
The little chili peppers on the side are kinda neat too.
9/3/05 Now that different threads are available I just bought one for my Angel |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a barrel upgrade 10 out of 10 |

| Review: |
This is the best kit I have ever used. I had a freak kit, and didn't care for it. I had a pipe kit, and hated it. This is lighter than both of those barrel systems and comes with 2 tips. A 14" tip and a 16" tip. The bore and tip match up perfectly and the stepping is absolutely even all the way around the bore. My Pipe kit was so uneven if you tilted it to one side the step would practically tear the shell off of the paint. The case is way nicer and more compact than my pipe kit and the case is hard backed and padded and zips up like a cd case, but also has a padded middle flap to keep the barrels from getting scratched. Its nicer than the freak case by far. the barrel system also has longer backs to help increase efficiency. The kit also comes with a nice barrel swab. I don't think there are currently any other kits that come with swabs, especially as nice as the one this comes with. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would give this barrel system an 11 if I could. Go buy it right now. |

| Review: |
When I got this kit, I was amazed. It shot beautifully, much straighter than my stock timmy barrel, and was a bit quieter. The barrels look really nice, and come in 14'' and 16'' sizes. The 16" comes in handy for airball. The backs are 8", which would appear to give you greater efficiency, as the ball sticks for longer. The backs can also be used as an 8" stubby, though I haven't tried it myself. The case is nice, resembling a padded cd case, and has slots for each barrel piece. The slots are very tight, and you have to lift it up from the other end to slide your barrel in without difficulty, or ripping the seam on one side. The barrels are nice and light, as well. My 16" is about a gram lighter than my 14" timmy barrel. My 14" is almost a gram lighter than a 14" ultralite.
On the downside (aside from tight slots) the bores are not accurately labelled. Mine, from smallest to largest, are labelled .689 .693 .687 .691. Not a huge issue, but it was annoying trying to force a ball out of the .693, and having it fit in the .687. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great kit. Looks hot, shoots awesome, very lightweight, comes with a swab. Too bad my bore sizes were labelled wrong, or I'd give it a 10. |

| Review: |
Well first off I bought this when it first came out so it cost-ed only $120. It came in a nice hard case and also came with a redz battle swab. The long control backs are more efficient as i had to turn my velocity down when I first used it. I also like that it comes with 2 tips which in essence gives you 2 barrels.
The only problem I encountered is the smallest back is .687 and I sometimes get balls to roll out the barrel. So other then that I like this kit a lot.
The pepper porting on the barrel kit are kinda cute, but somewhat of a pain to clean in a break. I also found it didn't clean out after a break but then again it might be because of the cold temps I've been playing in.
I prefered this over the freak kit I had used. Was more accurate with no barrel breaks |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'm giving this a 9 because of the .687 back but all in all i'm really happy that I bought this for my first kit and nothing is perfect |

| Review: |
Got this barrel kit mainly because of the long backs. No other barrel kit on the market comes with backs this long. Because I shoot a cocker, this barrel kit is ideal for it. As Cockers have front pneumatics that stick out about 4-5inches, removing a regular barrel kit back is difficult. It makes it hard to grip and remove.
Now with the Redz kit, the backs are about 8inches and can easily be gripped to remove with no problems.
The looks on the other hand is HOT. Just Pure Hottness all because it has a chilli pepper milled into the tip of the barrel.
Comes with a very nice barrel bag and foldable Redz swab. The inner bore on the front and back pieces are honed to a mirror like finish which reminds me of the CP barrel I used. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Superb barrel KIT. If you are a cocker owner, you should really look into getting this kit. Not only is it more practical for your marker but because the barrel backs are longer then any other kit, it also gives you the performance and style which can take you marker to a whole new level.
Superb product from Redz. |
