| Review: |
I have had this barrel for about two years now and have never broken a ball in the summer. I have only broken about 2 balls when the temperature is under 30 degrees. The barrel is also very accurate and it stays that way all year round. Also when you put it on your gun it looks very nice. It is a high quality barrel and I would recommend it for the serious paintball player. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a nice upgrade for any gun. I would recommend this to any player in the market for a new barrel. It is made with the highest quality. |

|
| Review: |
Accuracy- The accuarcy is the best for itas price. It cant compete with other barrels. Dye boomstick, Evil pipe, freak and Kaner.
Weight- I didnt notice it be heavy or light.
Price- I think it should be cheaper considering in my opion its not as good as the all american which is only 10$ more.
Bore size- The give you a horrible bore size 693. which is amost impossible to find paint to match it. Sence matching paint to your bore size determens alot of accuarcy
that is a big minus.
Ball breakage-This barrel dose ont like cheap paint. When walking your trigger with a thin coated paintballes you will make paintball soup. Botmom line is if you get this barrel get good paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
My final recomend attion is get this if you need to get a good barrel fast. |

| Review: |
This barrel is soooo cool. i got it for 70 bucks, and its the best barerl i have ever had. it is really really accurate, and really really quite. i think all i here is the clinking of the tank and the bolt moving. This is a really good barrel, and you can get awesome fronts for it, as well as the inserts for all paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
gEt this barrel! this barrel is awesome. INCREDIBLY ACCURATE! AHHHHHHHH! BE AFRAID OF IT! |

| Review: |
This is an amazing barrel for the price. It is dead on acurate. I have nailed people with just about every kind of gun out there. This version is a two piece pressed barrel that has the AA back with the Freak Jr. front. It turns heads. The first time I took it to the field everyone wanted to know what the heck it was then they all got shot and wanted to know where to get it. It is slightly shorter than the newer version at 12". |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this barrel. It's much better to be shooting with this barrel than to get shot by this barrel. You can't beat $30 for a Freak Jr. I give it a 9 because there is no perfection something better will eventually come out, just not yet. |

| Review: |
Great barrel, you can get these in cool placs on ebay for about 90$, its well worth it. The barrel is pretty queit, and if oyu have good paint in this barrel it will fly almost perfect, your ropes will fall one on top of the other. It looks really cool and helps with the intimidation factor on the field with my team. I would say that you should buy it, just be carefule with the insert so you dont break them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I have it for my ion and I love it. If you have a brain you should buy it. It is so much better then almost every barrel on the market. |

| Review: |
This is one of the most accurate barrels i have ever seen and used. It has the same concept as the FREAK, but is less expensive, and a bit less flashy. The only difference would be the slightly different front, containing less porting, and a lack of the word "FREAK" actually cut out of the back; instead it's just etched in rubber. Oh yeah, and the front looks like a weiner. The very first thing i noticed was that it was so much quieter than my crappy stock. Then i noticed how FREAK'n awesome this barrel is. You get the most bang for your buck possible. The swappable inserts let you adapt to what paint you like, not buy paint you dont like to match your barrel. I like this concept of paint matching especially because i buy lots of different brands depending on which is on sale; Im a thrifty player and this barrel works for me. This barrel will put paint where you aim. There is no blaming your barrel with this unless you have a break. With a break, you need to clean this MoFo quickly or else these will curve like no tommarow. While it has less porting than an AA front or a FREAK front, it still reduces turbulence just as much as any other barrel. Get this barrel and your opponents will be LIT UP! Another plus: Many times, people will get a barrel for a gun, a very expensive barrel, and then get a new gun. Guns dont always have the same threading, so with this, all you need is a new back and you're ready to go. This is the most versitile and unique barrel out there. GET IT. |
|
| Conclusion: |
get it its awesome only $75 with 693 but i paid $75 and got 3 inserts and case...i dun know how but anyway, GET IT!!! |

Cheaper then "The Freak", and with the 18 inch barrel it makes it so straight. |

| Weaknesses: |
Nothing so far. |
|
| Review: |
If you don't like the front you can either buy the AA front or the Freak front in any length. Witch is why this barrel is better then "The Freak", it doesn't put a huge dent in your wallet. And you get a great barrel. My opion is its one of the best on the market. Not only that it's so FREAKing customizible. Tons of inserts you can buy for it. Good for and paintballs. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It's a great barrel the best one out there. I give it a 10. |

| Review: |
This SP barrel is one of the best barrels out there, i have tested lots of barrels including
Stiffi, CP 1 and 2 piece, assassin barrel, J&J, DYE, PROTO, and lots more. Its deadly accurate, quiet (on my rail), cleans breaks nicely, what else can you expect from a barrel. I think the whole insert/barrel backs matching your paintballs is just so the company can make money. just make sure the your paintballs are to big for your barrel. i would suggest getting a .689 insert for your smaller paintballs and a .691 for the bigger paintballs. Its a great barrel, you can go wrong with it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it, like stated above,accurate,quiet,cleans ball breaks fairly well

| Review: |
This barrel RULES!!! It's reeeeaaaallllly accurate. I was aiming at a hole in a tree from about 75 feet away, with a slight breeze, and i hit around (within a few inches) or in the hole about 5/6ths of the time. It would have been even better if i wasn't using economy paint, and the wind was blowing! A lot of people say that this barrel doesn't have the looks because it looks like a peni$, but in my opinion, it doesn't look like that at all. Compared to other barrels, the cost is awesome (I paid $65), but the cost of extra inserts takes away the glamour of the price for the barrel. I think it's something like $20 for an insert.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, this barrel is AWESOME. It's got the same price and accuracy of an All-American, but the Freak Jr. has the interchangeable inserts. I strongly recommend this barrel to everyone who plays in the woods a lot like I do! |

| Review: |
I like this barrel because it is awesome for the price. It also looks great in my opinion.If I were you and you were in the market for a barrel this is the one for you. If your not willing to spend $90 then I would recommend an All-Amercan to you. If you want better get a Freak for $160, if not get this barrel its great. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this barrel, It owns. |
