This barrel kit is a very good kit. It is everything that a paintball player is looking for. It is very accurate. At 50 feet I was able to put 5" groupings together on a bunker with no problem. The barrels are quiet. I normally use an Evil Pipe (which is a bit on the loud side). The finish on the inside of these barrels is absolutely flawless. No metal spurs sticking out, no flaws in the annodizing. Just a smooth mirror-like finish. And to top it all off the kit comes in a very nice carrying case to keep the barrels safe and secure.
The only weakness that I can find in these barrels is that they come in only two barrel threads; cocker and spyder. True those threads are two of the most popular on the market but if you own a marker with a different type thread you're out of luck.
Conclusion:
I highly recommend this barrel kit to any paintball player that is looking for a good kit at a cheap price. Tourney and Rec ball players alike will get that extra edge in their game with this kit. 10 out of 10.
Blue Streak, Big Balls, Anything just find proper paint to barrel match.
Strengths:
Different Bore Sizes, and made by Odyssey
Weaknesses:
See Below
Review:
Odyssey has again made another work of art. These barrels come in different bore sizes .689, .693, .697 nice bores although the .697 is not used much these barrels are great. Supprisingly I have found that these barrels have better accuracy than the Freak Barrels, you want proof... try it yourself! It's too good to be true but yes. The only weakness I guess is that, you have to carry your 3 barrels if you use different paint everytime you go, but think of it as a advantage because you don't have to worry about other kits that have seperate bores, back, fronts etc... you dont have to lug around much, but hey, if you are a true hardcore paintballer go ahead get the kits but for rec., woods, and maybe a tourney player, i truly recomend these barrels. if you would like to see statistics on how accurate these barrels are, visit my Odyssey O3 gun review. I got my Odyssey Barrel Kit for $60 just look around and get awsome deals for this kit, you could buy it from Odyssey but it cost $100 there.
Conclusion:
Again, I highly recommend these barrels if you are on a budget or just don't want to spend alot of money for a good, accurate, and reliable barrels. I give this barrel kit a 10 for being the most accurate barrels I've used and played with, and yes more accurate than the "Freak Barrel"

Review:
I have been shooting with a freak barrel for over a year now and it's a good system. A friend of mine had sold me his odyssey barrel kit and I couldn't be happier. The barrels just rock. I can honestly say that the balls that come out of these barrels fly straighter than the freak, pipe, or cp barrels. They even shoot pretty decent after you have a break (usually takes 5 or 6 shots). One advantage to the barrels is that you don't have any inserts to mess around with. they are a plain and simple looking and will fit on any autococker threaded markers. Which makes it perfect for my trix and o3. With the odyssey barrels you don't have to pay an arm and leg for great accuracy and performance.

Review:
I really love this kit. It is extremely accurat, I'm talking ball on ball action at the chrono and the field. I trust odyssey very much with my gun, my barrel, and my halo b. This is a great barrel kit because they are all one piece. Screw in barrel kits can get inaccurate over time because the threads dont align perfectly after ample use which is why dye's 2 piece barrels are glued together. (Dye's saying - dont get screwed get glued). It is virtually the same as the odyssey 5-piece kit, but doesnt have insert sleeves. I would easily recommend this to anybody. The large bores are annoying with really small paint, but it is good if you have paint that has been sitting for a couple of weeks, because they expand and the large bores can handle it.
Conclusion:
I would definitely recommend this to anybody with only one barrel for this gun. If you already have a kit, skip this one. I would give an 8.5.
Smooth, well built, well ported, each peace is a whole barrel no inserts, nice case
Weaknesses:
They are to big, orings are pointless
Review:
This would be a great barrel kit for the money except the smallest size is to large for the average paintball. I used the .689 barrel (yeah I checked it was the smallest) and had paintballs rolling out the end of it (it's a cocker the ball is always past the ball detent). I think the paintballs were a tad small but I could not find paintballs locally that were really big enough. They were all cheap but pretty good paints. Even with the paint being to small the barrel was still very accurate. The sizes are .689, .693, .697. The smallest size is just barely medium. I wish they would have made a .687 instead of .697 because seriously nobody is gonna use that size its freakin huge. Oh and the orings didn't fit it right but who cares the barrel never unscrewed.
Conclusion:
If you are sure you use med-large paintballs this would be great. Even with the small paintballs this barrel was very accurate. It's hard to find but maybe on ebay. I'd say its a great deal for around $30 but no more than $45.

Strengths:
Very Accurate, 2 peices, durable, I love the looks!
Weaknesses:
None that I can see.
Review:
I just bought this barrel kit. I LOVE IT! It is very acurrate. It is better than the dye boomstick or ultralite. It cleans itself after abut 4 or 5 shots. It's better than the J&J Cermic, even though I also own an s2 for my wrath. I totally kick butt when I go to tournaments now! I LOVE how acurrate and consistent this barrel is! If you can find one for under $75 get it. I've heard this barrelkit is better than the Freak Barrel kit!!! It's AWESOME!!
Conclusion:
get this barrel kit. Find it on ebay. I got mine for $40!!

Strengths:
Great price
Accurate
Quiet
Single piece design
Weaknesses:
Cant find them anymore?
Review:
I got this kit pretty quickly after getting my Trilly Pro SF. This kit is unlike more other kits in that the barrels are one piece. That means there are no cracks in the barrels. The inside of the barrels are mirrored finish, and they are accurate and quiet.
I paid $45 for my kit, but after looking some more I am unable to find any for sale. You might be able to pick one up used, or a discount from a store somewhere, or maybe I am just looking in the wrong places.
Ive also seen some complaints about overly large bore sizes, but the bores on my kit are .685, .689 and .693.
Conclusion:
7 of 10. There are better barrel kits out there, but not for the price that I paid. The other kits are worth the extra investment.
