|
| It uses a unique design of linear tracks to guide the ball "straight" to the target, you'll notice less curving at the longer ranges and tighter shot groupings. This is achieved by shooting the ball much like a train on rails, instead of spinning it. |

| The CORE Rhino Series Barrel is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

| Strengths: |
It is very accurate at short to medium range. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Very innacurate at long range. Chops a few balls once in a while. |
|
| Review: |
This barrel is very good at short-medium range. It chops a few balls but for the price i got it for (on ebay, 20$) it was one of the best buys that ive made. Really the only thing other then the innacuracy at long range.... is that if you have any defects in your balls (wetness.... divits... etc.) the barrel will either chop or slice the balls. I reccomend this ball to the weekend player.. not the tourny player... no matter if you play speedball or woodsball this SHOULD suit you well. The only thing that speedball players would not like is that it is pretty long. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good barrel for any spider threaded gun. (just a bit of info if you didnt know) |

|
| Review: |
This barrel is better a little better than my stock barrel on accuracy and range ,but i like my stock barrel better because its lighter. the "linear" rifleing was a bad idea in my opinion ,smooth bore works way better. but the best thing about this barrel is it's so cheap.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
this barrel is barley ahead of the A-5 stock barrel(which sucks) and the Pro/Carb stock(pretty good for a stock but still sucks). i would not invest in something else ,but if you have your heart set on it buy it. |

|
| Strengths: |
I bought it on ebay because the one I got on the gun was short, and ineffective on my automag. The one I got was 14 inches, a narrower middle section, I will try to send a pic to andrew, but the straight "rifling" did seem to work well. It is very light and slick to look at, a dull black color almost military in its appearance. I paid only 26 for mine, so i'd bet the actual retail can't be too high. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I was hoping that the rifling would result in a bit higher accuracy level, but it is better than a smoothbore ported. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would reccomend this barrel as an excellent midrange barrel, both price and function. I used this one on a 68 standard feed automag, proteam intruder x-chamber, 20oz co2. (Pure Energy 68/3000 arrives next week) That is the only gun that I have used this barrel on, for fairness in reporting. |

| Strengths: |
i liked how this barrel looked on my gun but i decided to be shooting at over 300 ft just messing around and the accuracy was horrible. i tryed tuning it down but it was still bad. maybe it was the fact that this might be an indoor barrel. well, to give the barrel some accuracy i decided to port it myself. i usually do a good job. i did spiral porting at the top. i decided to put my holes underneath every other slit in the top of the barrel. about midway down i put straight porting which didnt turn out straight. the spiral looked good but the straight brought the whole thing down. it shot as good as my stock barrel though after that. and my stock barrel is hella accurate. it is a pmi high performance barrel. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
bad accuracy at high velocities. |
|
| Conclusion: |
looks hella good on a pmi pirahna sts g3. needs porting for high levels of velocity. dont try to port it yourself unless you can drill straight. |

| Strengths: |
OK... I'm not sure, but this looks just like a Tru-Flight barrel. And it has that straight rifling. So anyway, I bought this barrel for like $25 shipping included. I got a 16 inch for sniping on my C2K and I have to say it is very accurate for the price. I shot around 500 BE's through it and never broke 1! It gets a little wild at high velocities though. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
This thing is loud!! Like a frikin cannon! |
|
| Conclusion: |
I have a Compact 2000 with expansion chamber and 32 degrees venturi bolt. I had literally no ball breakage testing it, even with BE's and Zap Select. Definately buy this barrel if you're a rec player. Come on, it's $25! |

| Review: |
Overall a pretty good barrel. I love it for woodsball because most of it is mid range shots. I have put over 5000 shots through this bad boy and broken maybe 1 paintball. I really dont think i have broken any. What i mean by inconsistant range is that it will shoot then keep the gun in the same exact place. Then i will shoot again and it will be 10 feet shorter. This doesnt happen often but when it does its extremely annoying. It doesnt curve at all. sometimes the bottom will drop off it but for the most part the ball goes straight. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great barrel for a beginner. Gould highly recomend for a woodsballer |

| Review: |
For the price and performance, this barrel is worth the money...its unique straight rifling's makes it not only one of a kind but effective. I would recommend this barrel to anyone who's at the levels of beginner or intermediate...i don't know if i would use this barrel in a tournament due to lack of experience but it is a good barrel to use for private mess around games. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good for the money...good for beginners and intermediate and has a sleek and simple look |
