great strong bag i have literaly shot 20 balls into this bag w/o breaking so far.
only problem ive had was the little sliding piece broke some how but the length is fine for my gun w/o needing to tighten it any more
the desighns are a little plain i mean tehy coudl have at least put the empire x on it but owell it preforms awsomely.
Conclusion:
great barrel bag/condom /what ever you call it.
safe dude to strong construction and tight fit
designes and tightening piece breaking take it down to a 8
Various barrel plugs(JT, Be , 32 deg.). Doesn't really matter becuase in most places you can't use them anymore.
Marker Setup:
Tippmann model 98
rocket cock 2
12 inch lapco bigshot
20 oz and a 9 oz tank
Strengths:
Does its job
Made of good material
Weaknesses:
Nothing that I can think of
Review:
I guess i needed one of these (becuase when i got back into paintball after a few years off i only had a plug) and some new orings and oil so i got the package.
Its great but honestly how can you screw up a product as simple as this. Well i guess you could use bad materials or something like that.
Conclusion:
Get one or some kind of barrel sock.

APP Barrel Bag, 32deg Barrel Bag: Both are made of a "cordora" material. The Empire bag is made of neoprene.
Marker Setup:
ULE E-Mag, Impulse, ULE Retro Mag
Strengths:
It keeps the barrel covered and stops stray shots from coming out.
Weaknesses:
The size of the entry hole is not much bigger than a barrel.
Review:
It gets points for style. The bag has "Empire" printed on it with sticky "iron-on" letters. I am not very rough with my paintball equipment, but I do worry that the lettering could come off. Then it would be just another bag :(
Also, the opening for the barrel is very small. The foam material bends easily and can kink when the bag is being put on. It does take a bit of effort to get the bag and barrel lined up just right.
Since it uses a soft neoprene there are no worries about the barrel tip being scratched.
Conclusion:
If you can live with the chance of the lettering falling off, and the small hole then it's nice. The price is good, right in line with other barrel bags. It has more style than a APP bag, but I feel the APP bag works better.
Wont break if ya shoot it
Easy to tighten/loosen
Nice looking
Cheap
Weaknesses:
sometimes its hard to get on because it squeezes in, but its good.
Review:
I bought this from a freind with my old gun (which i sold) and i just kept it. I really like it, it adds a nice touch to a gun. I have shot it plenty of times with paint and it hasnt broke through. Unlike my friends dye barrel sock which he shot once and it tore a small hole.
Great sock, great price, does its job. Easy to take off but not to put on.
Spyder Imagine ( Green )
~Ricochet 2k Hopper
32 Degrees Ice cold 12" Barrel
Dead on Bullet Drop
Strengths:
Soft and wont scratch up your barrel like barrel plugs.
Price!
Weaknesses:
The Strap was not long enough.
Review:
The Good:
Soft and wont scrath up the barrel like barrel plugs.
The adjuster is good to fit your gun perfect.
The Bad:
Only bad thing about it was that the strap was hard to get around to the elbow where i strap it on bacause the hopper was sorta long but thats not for everyone.
Conclusion:
I would buy it cuz it cheap and very soft and it is just a barrel sock, Ill give it a 10 out of 10. Only 5$!

alright this is on all condoms in general because I couldn't find mine and I don't feel like makin a new category... I bet most condoms are the same except for material and that Dye one supposedly "catches the ball" er sumthing which is kinda pointless i think
they are safe and way better than plugs because they can't fly off if you put them on right
Conclusion:
don't buy plugs buy condoms because they are way better and safer! 10

I Love this barrel condom.It never breaks if i accidentally shoot when its on.I got one to match my gun.Its very strong and made of very durable cloth stuff.The price is cheap too.They're are about 4 different colors to chose from(Red,Yellow,Green,and Blue).
small, red, aluminum barrel plug that came with my gun
Marker Setup:
F4 Illustrator: 14" J&J ceramic barrel, ACI 6 stage expansion chamber, Empire Reloader, macroline,Psycho Ballistics Bullet Drop Forward, ACI aluminum double finger trigger group with trigger stop.,20oz. Co2 with anti syphon tube.
Strengths:
Looks nice and it is strong
Weaknesses:
The plastic adjuster on the condom broke off.
Review:
It is made of neoprene. It has nice strong elastic on it and the condom also looks nice. It isn't a hassle to take off like a barrel plug would do because plugs are sometimes hard to get out of the barrel plus I don't like putting things down my barrel other than paintballs. The plastic adjuster on the condom broke off but its okay since I don't use it anyway. But you could also tie a knot in the elastic if you have a short barrel and if your plastic adjuster broke.
Conclusion:
Definately way better than barrel plugs because of the ease of taking it on and off and it is less likely to damage the inside of your barrel since it goes over the outside of the barrel.

spyder xtra, whisper barrel, ricochet ak, esp electric trigger frame, 20 oz tank.
Strengths:
cool colors, keeps balls from flying out.
Weaknesses:
none
Review:
I bought this barrel condom for $3.50 at my local paintball store. Works fine, i have a blue one even though the description only says green. I like it because you can wash it if it gets dirty. I hope it will be the only one i ever use. Works great when you tie it to your gun( less of a pain in the rear).
Conclusion:
Get this barrel condom if you only want to buy one in lifetime. i will give it a 10 because i like it alot.
