Review:
I won this barrel in there online contest and played multiple times with it. Better than Smart Parts progressive. Super Accurate and quiet the reason I give it an nine is because they don't offer alternate sizes and lengths but, overall I like the barrel but, don't get to use it much because I got the Revolver Barrel Kit
smartpart freck and Empire Revolver are abarrels that i would compare to this because the accuary is about the same.BUT NOT THE PRICE

Review:
I have use alot of barrel that work just a good but none that are as this well priced.
if i had to i would pay 50-60$ for this barrel it is THAT GOOD. on a scale of 1 to 100 on accuracy it would be 90 becase there is the odd ball that curvse .
over the last 3 months i have shot around seven to eight thousand rounds and have there has been no breaks.
Conclusion:
if you are just starting to play paintball or even a experienced player i would recommend this barrel. its Accuracy is better than any barrel at its price.

Review:
This barrel stands out for one reason more than anything else. Style. I have a rockin blue tribal barrel that perfectly suits my blue gun. I was hesitant because I had never heard of the company but I came here and read positive reviews and decided that the price was right so I went for it.
This barrel is a very good barrel. I have no accuracy issues at all and I have never broken a paintball in it, though I still squeegee it after every time I play. The paint and tribal designs have never faded, they don't really scratch though I have scratched the end of the barrel.
Conclusion:
Overall for the price and reliability this thing is great. Sometimes when I play I have to screw the barrel back in because it got a thread or two loose.
Mainly factory barrels from an MR-1 and Pilot, did some comparison. Extremely noticeable!!
Marker Setup:
Spyder Pilot
Spyder Rocking Trigger
Spyder Fasta Hopper
Trinity Clamping Feedneck
Delrin Bolt
Empire HPA 56/4500 tank

14" Gladius Barrel
Recommended Paintballs:
Anything but Monster balls lol
Strengths:
Quiet
Accurate
Good Price
Variety of Color Choice
Weaknesses:
Only thing is barrel comes loose occasionally. Solution noted below:)
Review:
I had this barrel on my Spyder MR-1 with a rocking trigger, it did great, didn't notice any balls curving at the time. Had a couple of breaks, but that was because I had an eggy 2 with a Z-board and failed to keep up while walking trigger. After upgrading to Fasta hopper, the balls never chopped, so it was never the barrel. I paid $32 total for this barrel and has yet to fail me, I did a test between factory Pilot barrel and this one, and accuracy was amazing. Maybe a 6" spread with Gladius and a 1ft spread with factory barrel from around 30-45yds.
NOTE: If barrel is coming loose, (which is what happened to me), slide another O-Ring directly on top of the rubber O-Ring at the threads. It has yet to come loose on me again. Very snug fit. Definitely recommended!! Great Product UPZ!!
Conclusion:
Pick this up wether you're a veteran or new player, great price and a nice contender with other barrels.

Review:
i bought this barrel on Ebay when i got my halfblock back from the proshop. i was looking for a cheap barrel that would match the marker cuz i though that i'd get a barrel kit down the line. i saw this company and didnt recognize the name but checked the reviews and figured 'aww hell, its only 20 bucks why not'.
i just took this thing out shooting and was able to land every shot on a cinderblock from about 50ft easy. check out the review video if you dont believe me on the accuracy:
