| This barrel is drilled from solid aluminum making it very straight. The inside is coated with ceramic to make it slippery. This allows you to shoot your barrel clean and not have to take out your squeegee.

| Product Availability | |
|
| The PMI Perfect Ceramic Barrels are older, so while they may be available used and in a few cases new, they are not commonly available anymore. |

| Review: |
I got mine with my TKO Automag, that was about 2 years ago. They aren't made any more. It shoots very well, and I have never had a barrel/paint problem, WORR Paint Domination just shoots the best of what I have tried. I have shot Pro Ball, Great American, PMI Premium, Nitro Duck, Anarchy, Hot Spot, Slam/All Star, and Blaze( I think that is all.) There isn't too much else to say other than it is a great barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Accurate, Quiet. I like it I have gone for 2 years with it. |

|
| Strengths: |
really light and quiet! it accepts alot of paint too. ive used both small AND medium bore paint in it and it accepted it with ease. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
i think it is a little fragile. there are a couple scratches in it but not from me. it was from the dude that owned it before.
dont ignore this barrel because "its fragile" because lets face it, how often do you have your gun plow into a bunker?! buy it. o and dont get the olive drab one, it looks like junk. get a black or chrome one. |
|
| Conclusion: |
good barrel. especially for mag. i like. go buy |

Recommended
Paintballs: |
I use whatever field paint they have and they all work fine |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
This barrel has been very good for me. I have no complaints about it. Mine is a 12" barrel. My buddy has a 14" barrel. He has tried to find a better barrel, he bought a boomstick, and another dye barrel, and has a couple other barrels, but he always comes back to his pmi perfect ceramic. We use whatever field paint they have, and the barrel works good. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It does not shoot clean. I did not expect it too, but apparently some people do. You need a squeege, just like any other barrel. But not a problem because not too many breaks. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really like this barrel and doubt any other barrel will make a noticable difference in accuracy. |

|
|
| Strengths: |
It's a decent barrel. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
It was not very accurate for me and did not shot clean like I thought it was supposed to. It was also pretty loud when compared to my 14" Dye Aluminum. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I bought this barrel so that I would still be able to finish a game with decent accuracy if I broke a ball. Well, this product didn't work as advertised for me. I wanted a barrel that would shoot clean, unlike my Dye Aluminum because it goes to crap once I break a ball. Well, this barrel didn't do any better. It also wasn't near as accurate as my Dye. I found it to be much louder than my Dye and was not worth the money as it doesn't perform as I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, it is a good barrel when compared to most stocks, but I suppose I may be spoiled by the accuracy that my Dye has given me. Too bad it loses all that when I break a ball. I will give it this much, I was using Brass Eagle paint. I used it for about 1000 rounds and just got tired of having to squeegie it out so I put my Dye back on and shot the last 1000 rounds with no problems and decent accuracy. |

Paintballs: |
Marbilizers, all stars, unfortunately they dont sell these brands in my area, I use Zap select (decent, no breaks yet) and Viewloader Paintballs (pretty accurate, (no breaks yet also) |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Accurate, very accurate if you got the right paint match.
Quiet, to about silencing my gun 40%% (nice porting)
Very nice color (the gray)
Fire 1-3 times to clean the barrel, nice slick coating.
I've had 2 breaks out of 200 Brass Eagle paintballs...don't get BE paint! |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I haven't come across anything yet.. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very nice barrel, this can match up to the J&J ceramic, whichever is cheaper buy it!
This is a deadly barrel! |

Autococker 98 with new 3-way regulator bolt and a centerflag airsystem. |

|
|
|
| Strengths: |
I understand this barrel is relatively cheap, which counts in it's favour. (Got it 2nd hand....) The self-cleaning is good, however it doesn't seem to break much paint and delivers a relatively straight ball, although most barrels should concidering my cocker setup. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
First of all it's obviously a cheap barrel, and i'm sure that you would be better off with something a bit more expenciv if you shoot a high-end marker. it's very heavy to be a ceramik and the performance if there is much humidity in the air is very poor. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would say it's a good barrel for the price, however if you've got more doe to blow on a barrel....do it. Nevertheless using this barrel has been a positive experience. |

| Strengths: |
Dark grey color works in the woods. Good range and accuracy if you use small ammo.It's not loud |
|
| Weaknesses: |
but not real quiet either. Need to use small ammo |
|
| Conclusion: |
Have the 12 inch on a 98 Custom ,does a much better job than stock barrel at long range, but not at close range with larger ammo. Have a 12 inch DYE XCEL that does better with larger ammo but they are about the same with small ammo. |

| Strengths: |
looks really cool
got it for $30 new
shoots really good through breaks
quiet |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the accuracy on my gun is still pretty bad, but that's probably just the gun
i should have got the 14 inch |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'll probably get a better bolt and some upgrades for my gun, then it should work good, but it's definitely worth what i paid 4 it. |
