Marker Setup:
I have a 2000 Autococker with an ANS Quickfire trigger frame, NAS actuator rod, Kapp beaver tail, KAPP Twisted Cocking rod, TKO dropforward, PMI nitro, 18v eVlution, etc.....
Recommended Paintballs:
PMI premiums fit like a glove in this barrel, i've shot A LOT of crap paint through this too, and it never seems to have serious problems
Strengths:
Great accuracy...im not sure if that is only because of my cocker...ive never tried the barrel on another gun... VERY cheap barrel...only about 35 bucks, looks good, decently quiet. durable, shoots bad paint well...
Weaknesses:
I really havent had any bad experiences with it. it shoots the paint, and shoots it straight. It scratches kinda easy though, but nothing serious enough to cause performance flaws.
Conclusion:
This is a great barrel, but i guess for the cheap price, the company must have cut corners somewhere....but untill i find out where, this barrel gets a 10. I probably will buy a new SP all american soon, so ill be able to compare the two and see if the price really does make a big difference, or if this barrel just shoots well becuase of my gun.
I put the vortex on a decked out spyder xtra and it was the cheapest and best barrel I've ever used
Recommended Paintballs:
What ever u want Shoots any from cheap to top of the line
Strengths:
Cheap easy to clean since its cheap u dont have to be carful with it Best in the woods for quick streight shooting
Weaknesses:
Nothing
Conclusion:
The best for people that are always having trouble with broken and yoked up paintballs jammed in the barrel. Recommended for people that scratch up barrels and hate spending money
