| Review: |
over all its a good speedball barrel i wouldnt reccomend this for a recball player or back player but they are rare barrels because they are not produced anymore so if u can find a cheap one i would reccomend nabbin it exsecially if its a different threading than MAG |
|
| Conclusion: |
get it if u need a short compact barrel and are a front man cause u can keep real tigth with this barrel |

Rearward Porting. Looks |

| Review: |
Size. It's pretty small on my Mag, about the Equiv of 10"
Accuracy. The accuracy is pretty decent. Can't say much about it. I've had a bad regulator seat on my mag so velocity inconsistancies made accuracy fluctuate. When I chopped a ball the paint on the barrel would put a funky spin on the balls and make them curve at random angles... Masked a guy behind a bunker like this.
Price. Came with my gun, but I'd imagine you could find them cheap.
The Rearward porting sprayed me with paint once...
Looks. The Barrel is pretty fugly, what can I say? |
|
| Conclusion: |
Decent Barrel with Decent Accuracy for a Decent price.
Works well as a "stock" barrel and should sustain me for a while. |

| Strengths: |
everything i own 2 a black one and a very rare purple with gold and silver splash. i got both of mine for around 20 bux each very accurate and very cool . great for tucking in tight and speed ball. both of mine are more rare further more because they have autococker threads. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
hard to find sometimes expensive and no one wants to part with theirs and usually only found in automag threads |
|
| Conclusion: |
this is keeps up with my boomy and my armson this is a perfect barrel for anyone i highly suggest getting one if you find one. perfect 10 of 10 ive had no problem with mine go out and buy it now |

|
| Strengths: |
Durable, good porting and fairly cheap if you can find it. :) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Little loud and the porting does spit paint backwards if you chop (pretty cool to watch). |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can find it cheap, it's an excellent barrel. Don't pay too much for it, though. Buy a CP one piece if you want something quality and a little more expensive. |

|
| Strengths: |
I like how short it is
It's as accurate as any barrel if the paint matches the bore size, doesn't really matter what gun you have. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Really Loud, only slightly quieter than a Tippmann stock barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you're gonna buy this, buy it used and cheap. There really isn't much of a purpose for it. I payed 10 bucks for mine. |

| Strengths: |
The length and quality for speedball users. Price is not too bad. The porting is excellent, except when the balls break, then paint flies right back at you through the reverse portholes! I use it on my automag with proteam Intruder expansion chamber. It combines with that gun and setup to make a lethal little rig. 8" is perfect for the frontmost players in speedball. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The only thing is the pint spraying backwards throught the poting after a break. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I have only 2 barrels currently for my automag, and the other is the 14" straight-rifled one, I can't remember the name right now, and this barrel is the better of the two in my opinion, even with the short length. It is well made, has excellent finish and shoots straight up to approx 70 feet. In woods play I dont use the mag anyhow, I use my T98, so this barrel is perfect for what I use it for. |

| Review: |
It came with my 68classic, its just that the hole on it doesnt line up wiht my feed, only about half of it will line up, so i got to figure out what to do to get it to work, so i havnt used it wish i could..... its about a 8" which are really good for speedball less length for a ball to travel so it wont slow the ball down. :( i want to use it! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Although i havnt got to use it. but looks good and considering its a speedball barrel im gonna give it a 7 but unless i get it working and see how it preforms then the number isnt going to go up |

|
| Strengths: |
-very accurate. from about 20 yards I had a 4 inch shot grouping. Very nice.
-It looks cool.
-decently quiet |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the muzzle break can sometimes break paint. it only broke about 2 in 2000 on me so it's not that bad. and when it does break paint all of it sprays out the front of the barrel so it doesn't affect accuracy. |
|
| Conclusion: |
very good barrel for the money. I got mine for $40 and it's done me well. Only reason it doesn't get a 10 is the slight ball breakage problem but it's not too much to worry about. |
