| Review: |
Very accurate - Need I say more?
Only have to get the bore sizes you want That way, you never have to buy bore sizes you'll never use. I only use large bore paint, so I'd buy a .693, .691, and possibly a .689 and I'd be set. You can also get different fronts for it, so it's just a very nice system altogether.
Well made - I've never had a barrel quite this nice... nicely threaded, good annodization, and well honed. Very, very nice barrel.
Quiet - Has enough porting to be very quiet... barrels don't have to be super quiet, but it's a nice thing that this one is. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very nice barrel, I very highly reccomend it no matter what type of gun you have. |

It's a kit! You match the paintball to the barrel bore. You can use any paintball you want as long as it fits the barrel. |

| Review: |
I was testing a 16" Spyder threaded barrel on my friend's Spyder MR-1. It is a very nice barrel. The Diablo Nightmare paint we were using fit perfect with the .689 back, and the largest spread we saw from 50 feet awat was 4". This is a very good barrel. Cleaning, what cleaning? We didn't break one ball in this barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend it, it is very accurate, CP makes some great barrels. |

But do not use Evil. |

| Review: |
Well I bought this barrel for $60 at my local proshop. It took a few days to get here. It came in two tubes ( one for the back, and one for the front ). I took it home, put it on the my gun and went to shooting trees and a 55 gallon drum.
I shot at trees each ten shots, it hardly ever missed. Out of the 250 shots I shot at trees, I only missed around 20 shots or so.
After that I shot at the drum. I spray painted a target on it. One 2' circle, 12" circle and then 1 4" circle. First I shot at it from 50', which was ball on ball. So then I moved on to 75', again ball on ball with a few stray shots that hit around seven inches from the center. Now for the real test, 110'. I went back to 110' and shot around 60 shots. I was hitting the 12" circle consistently. Most were in the 12" circle with a few outside the 12" circle.
I love this barrel. It is good with almost any paint, except when I used Evil once, but I think that was because it was 40 degrees outside. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This a great barrel for $60 dollars. Just save your money and buy this for $60 rather than $100 or up. |

| Review: |
Physcial Apsects:
The first thing I noticed when I got my barrel kit (3 backs and one 14" tip) in was that it was very light. The combined weight of the 3 backs and tip felt lighter than the boomstick. Inside the barrel, it was very smooth, on par with the boomstick. The only downside was the milling on the outside of the barrel. All 3 backs were not smooth and had slight grooves on them. This was not noticeable at first, but upon closer inspection, it was hard not to miss it.
Performance:
I put this barrel on my 'Cocker and had absolutely no problems. The different bore sizes meant no more balls rolling out and no more breaks. The same was true when the barrel was used on the ego. I wish I could write something about how the barrel cleans after a break, but I have yet to break a ball even after using a very poor, dimpled batch of Midnight. Accuracy was right where it should be, ball on ball. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great barrel for a very reasonable price. I got my 3 backs and tip for $140 from the CP site. The only flaw was cosmetic, but it did not affect performance, so I have no complaints whatsoever. I would highly recommend the kits because once you match the paint, you don't have to worry about anything going wrong with your barrel, and you can spend more time concentrating on your game. |

OK well i got my cp barrel today and shot it on my etek and i was surprised that it was quieter than before. And it was also very accurate..Much lighter than my freak kit so thats a good thing. This barrel also looks awsome. it stands out from all the other barrels. |

|
| Review: |
the first time i used this barrel compared to my JT barrel, i was blown away, this barrel shot accurately at a good 25 yd, by that time the JT barrel was spinning the paintballs in every direction, when i used it in a game, i liked it much more than the JT because it was far lighter and by far the most accurate 10" barrel ive ever used. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recomend getting this barrel because it is very light and very accurate |

match your back that it comes with with the paint your shooting, if you get a .69 back then use a paint that fits well, meaning it dosent roll out of the barrel and needs to be blown out by a puff of air |

Very nice, accurate and cleans well, very nice |

| Review: |
This is the most Accurate barrel that i have used so far besides a 21" of my friends, but thats for woodsball only. THis barrel is also looking sexy! One of the best things is that you have many choices such as bore size, color for front and back, length of the barrel itself, and many threads to chose from |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it now! |

Probly not as light as stiffi or carbon fiber or even ultralite |
|
| Review: |
The cp two piece is a great barrel. Dont get a ultralite or a boomstick or a stiffi or anything expensive like that because there is no difference in the performance with those barrels and the cp barrel. the only difference is that you will be paying xtra 40 to 80 dollars. the only reason they are more expensive is because of their logo. you pay 40 to 80 more dollars just because of the logo and maybe because you like another barrels style. Longest you match the paintballs to your bores than it will shoot good distance and it will shoot accurate. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Dont waste you money on getting a dye or a stiffi barrel. They sponser people to use their barrels or else if they had to buy them themselfs and money was a problem, then they wouldnt spend the xtra money and pros would buy a cp front and diff size bores to match any diff paintball sizes. So just get a two piece cp barrel. you wont be sorry. Im definiteley giving it a ten because it is as good as any other barrel out there or better and even less money for the same peformance |

| Review: |
The Good:
I have the new model of the two-piece Pro barrel system. The back is totally redesigned for a sleeker, more sexy look. I could only describe it that it looks like an arrow and has a really smooth finish. The front fits right into the back, with an o-ring to keep it there. The performance is certainly up there with the other big name barrel makers like DYE, SP, and PMI. The price for each piece is $30 shipped, which isn't bad if you're only planning to own a few backs, and one front. The combinations that you can have with CP is 5x3x4x2x5. That's a lot of combinations to choose from, size of backs, back colors, front sizes, front finish, and front colors.
The Bad:
I got a front that was scratched so deep that the raw aluminum was showing. CP offered to replace the front after I ship it to them. Another weakness is that the back does not have an o-ring, so it tends to back out of the body after a few hundred shots. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you're looking for a custom look and still want DYE accuracy along with the amazingly new style, CP is what you're looking for. You can start out with a two-piece, and then get different backs and build a kit. |
