soccerman88 Wednesday, January 14th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 3 months 23 of 24 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Marker Setup: VL Triton- 16 oz CO2, camo paint job, electronic feed hopper, 12 in. VL barrel Recommended Paintballs: Dusk Strengths: good accuracy, light, good distance, never had a ball break Weaknesses: silver shiny barrel gives away your position (can be wrapped in camo tape) Review: This is a great barrel it has pretty good accuracy and doesn't curve much great distance does not break balls not loud looks cool (especially with a black gun) needs to come in a longer size easy to clean I got this at wal-mart for $7.50! (no joke) Conclusion: looks- 10/10 accuracy- 9/10 distance- 9/10 quality- 7/10 (it gets scratched and dented easily but it doesn't affect performance) over all- 9/10 Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   5 Comments - Add Comment

Splat Dawg Tuesday, May 6th, 2003 Period of Product Use: 6 months 9 of 13 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: various stock barrels, dye ultra-light Marker Setup: Sheridan XTS with red splash anodizing and ViewLoader Two Piece Custom Barrel Recommended Paintballs: Anything is fine really. Except Brass Eagle Strengths: Decent accuracy, good range, looks good, and pretty quiet Weaknesses: Could be longer, fit other guns, and is prone to small dents and scratches Review: I think this barrel is great! For a cheap price too! Some barrels cost hundreds of dollars. This barrel is good quality at a reasonable price. Much better than most stock barrels. Looks nice in my opinion. I'd buy it if your barrel still sucks. Or if you bought an O.K. barrel for a high price, you can buy this, sell that, and still have a few bucks left over. It really is quiet too. I was amazed when I first tried this. But after some use and a little woods ball, you'll be seeing little dents and scratches appearing. This doesn't affect any performance though. Conclusion: Well worth your time. But there are always better barrels, and a longer one of these would be nice. Other than that, buy this barrel!

33arod Tuesday, January 6th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 1 year 6 of 6 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Viewloader Genesis Stock Barrel Marker Setup: -Viewloader Genesis -Viewloader 12 Inch Barrel -PMI 16 Ounce CO2 Tank -VL 200 Hopper Recommended Paintballs: -RPS Allstar Strengths: -Quiet -Accurate -Better Than Genesis Stock Barrel Weaknesses: -Gets Slippery Review: The barrel is 10 times better than the Gensis's stock barrel. It does get slippery and my barrel plug wont stay in. It is easy to clean. It will fit in Spyders, Brass Eagle, or Viewloader guns. A straight shot squgee will clean it out nicely, while a paper towel will get anything on the outside of the barrel. Conclusion: A good begginer's barrel if you don't want to drop half of a casino on your first barrel. Rating: 8 out of 10 I found this review   1 Comment - Add Comment

coolmanmatt Tuesday, January 17th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 1 year 3 of 4 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: J&J Ceramic - Better Proto one piece - Better Marker Setup: spyder imagine j&j ceramic shocktech lpc chipply no rise heli clamp chipply trigger dye sticky grip spin loader CO2 tank Brass Egale avenger new springs regulator quantum electronic loader proto on piece CO2 tank Recommended Paintballs: Zap Monster Balls Strengths: It's shorts straight Weaknesses: It's a Brass Eagle barrel Review: Well I bought this barrel thinking it was the only one that would fit my Avenger I sill can't believe I spent $40bucks on it. So then I found a review a year later that any spyder threaded barrel will work with it. It worked good for like the forst few months this I think th barrel expanded a little. So I decided to buy a Proto barrel for my brass egale set up and it works wy better now. I ended up using this barrel on my spyder set up while I as waiting for my J&J barrel to come in the mail and it surprised me. It worked better then I thought it would on a Spyer gun. Conclusion: If you have a Spyder gun or a View Loader gun this barrel with work good for you. A Proto or J&J barrel will work better and are 10 bucks cheaper but this barrel worked good for the times I used it. I think I'll let my friend use it on his imagine.

travis_34 Tuesday, June 29th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 1 year 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Dye Ultralight All-american freak xcel Marker Setup: Raven Nexion 14" Dye Ultralight 12V Revvy w/ X-board and vortex impeller Bandit Bolt Maddman Spring Kit Bob Long Torpedo Regulator Shocktech Long Drop Shocktech On/Off New Designz Lo-rise Crossfire 68/4500 Nitro Tank ***Back-up*** VL Genesis 12" VL Custom Barrel 32* 2003 6-stage expansion chamber 20oz CO2 Recommended Paintballs: Dusk Blaze Midnight Strengths: Cheap as hell Get it at Wal-mart Weaknesses: See strengths Review: Well, it dont work too bad for the price, 35 of my hard-earned dollars at wal-mart. They work fricken awesome with Diablo Dusk paintballs, suprisingly its very accurate and consistent, even with just the genny and this barrel, no other ups. Works fairly well with other Diablo or Draxxus paintballs, but i personally would stay away from RPS and Brass Eagle and other paintballs because they tend to break often for me Conclusion: I would get this barrel if you were on a tight paintball budget, or just temporarily until you can get a great barrel like a dye ultralight, or any thing from dye for that matter, because it is all very high quality, very high price, but very high quality, i give it a 9, because theres always dye out there Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

jordanm Monday, August 25th, 2003 Period of Product Use: 2 years 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: None. I have never used my stock barrel. Marker Setup: Spyder Compact Deluxe Java (no bottom line, just like in the picture) Recommended Paintballs: I have really only used PMI paintballs with this barrel. It works great - I've never had a single break. Strengths: This barrel is accurate, doesn't break balls, and looks awesome on black guns. Weaknesses: I've seen none so far. Review: I bought this barrel from a friend of mine for $10.00 because his gun was broken. Its retail price is $50.00, so I got a GREAT deal. He just bought an Autococker so I'm sure he wants it back, but that wont be happening because it works like a charm. It's durable and I've never had to clean it out because it never breaks a ball. Conclusion: Go out and buy one. Lots of paintball equipment is overpriced so for simple things like barrels I would go the eBay way.

Gyzmo Tuesday, May 4th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 3 months 2 of 9 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Recommended Paintballs: high end medim bore paint only Strengths: looks cool easy to clean decent range Weaknesses: breaks paint not accurate loud breaks paint Review: Only decent until you break paint, and once you break paint forget it might as well take the barrel off. It breaks a lot of paint especially cheap paint. Other than its cool looks there is really nothing going for this barrel. It is loud and very prone to dents and scratches to the finish. The barrel would be good if vL put a bit more effort in to it ie: the porting and make shot wet better. Perhaps in the future vL will make better barrels than this. Conclusion: Dont buy it. Get a Tear-drop or a JJ-ceramic instead they cost about the same and are better barrels. If you buy a vL gun with this barrel on it, get rid of it. Buy vL loaders but not barrels.

Daedalus2040 Monday, June 2nd, 2003 Period of Product Use: 6 months 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: Dye Boomstick - Better but costs about three times as much. Marker Setup: Tippman 98 Custom - 21in. Sniper Barrel or 16in. Dye Boomstick - 20oz. Cylinder w/ remote feed - CMI International Expansion Chamber - Brass Eagle Dot Sight - Blade Double Trigger - Odyssey Painball Halo TSA - Black 32 Degrees Gel Grip - Blackpoint Engineering Folding Stock Recommended Paintballs: I reccomend that you use Diablo, JT Carnivores, or Primer Zap with this barrel. Strengths: - Cheap - Light - Looks decent Weaknesses: - Occasionally breaks balls - Sometimes difficult to clean Review: This was the first barrel upgrade that I bought and I didn't use it too long because I got a Freak on my other gun. Its quite cheap and is really actually a good barrel. I don't use it anymore, but right now I have loaned it to my friend on long term. He uses a Spyder Shutter and this barrel works exceptionally well with it. I used to use it on my Brass Eagle Marauder, but that didn't work so well. It breaks balls every once in a while, but that mostly depends on the marker and paint. When it does break balls this barrel can be a pain to clean out. Conclusion: Overall this is a rather good barrel aslong as you put it on a VL Genesis, Brass Eagle Avenger, or a Spyder of some sort and you use some decent paint.

Unregistered User Monday, October 29th, 2001   1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Strengths: It looks sweet!! Nice improvement over my stock syder compact deluxe barrel. Weaknesses: It is loud. Once you break a ball you break like the next 10 balls! It does not have very long range. Conclusion: This barrel would be much better if you could get in something like 14 or 16 inches. Do not ever use viewloader or zap paint with it! Well my conclusion is if you are a beginer like me (sorta) then this is a preety good cheap barrel. Also this would be a good choice for a speedball player.
