I like this barrel. I was looking to upgrade the barrel that came with my electra mainly b/c of accuracy. I tested out a Proto barrel but it was kinda expenzive so i started looking aound for a cheaper barrel. And i found this one. was really accurate and quite.

Pretty much anything except Brass Eagle and all paint like it. If you're shooting a cocker, make sure you match your bore size to the paint you are going to shoot.
Strengths:
Very quiet, very accurate, very durable, looks good.
Weaknesses:
It's heavy, the bore size is not what's stamped on it.
Review:
I bought a 14 inch ACI combo barrel for my cocker a few years back. I found the barrel to be very quiet and very accurate. I have slid into bunkers, walls, trees...you name it...and the anodizing on the barrel has held up great. I have only two complaints regarding my combo barrel: 1) it's heavy, and 2) the bore size isn't what is stamped on the barrel. 1) The barrel has a stainless steel back, so it is going to be heavier than an aluminum barrel of the same length. 2) I bought my barrel in a .690 bore. It's not .690. I took a pair of mics to it and it measured .692. I thought it might be the mics, so I tried about 6 more...they all read .692. This isn't a huge difference, but it needs to be mentioned.
Conclusion:
All in all I feel this is a very good barrel- quiet, accurate, durable. If you are looking to maintain a light setup, this isn't the barrel for you. I picked mine up for $35.00 at my local shop (the barrel had less than a case of paint through it when I bought it...so it was marked "used"). I noticed that this barrel retails for $70.00. Honestly, there are better barrels out there for the money...JJ Ceramic and All American to name a couple. Try to find a used one in good shape to get the best value.
Tear Drop- I would say the Tear Trop is just about as good as this but not as light.
Marker Setup:
Spyder Pilot ACS,ACI Zero Gravity barrel, 12volt Revvy, 12 oz co2.
Recommended Paintballs:
Marbs, anything .690 or close in size.
Strengths:
Accuracy, light weight.
Weaknesses:
None other than it not being a kit.
Review:
I got this barrel when I purchase my Spyder. It shot very accurately and is very light in weight compared to others that I've used. I really like the looks of the barrel on the outside but the performance really topped anything I expected. This barrel may be a little expensive but if you can get a good deal on it I would suggest giving it a try. I know I certainly enjoyed my time on the field with it and it may just become my first choice for a barrel when I play.
Conclusion:
Good looks, great performance, and light weight. I would definitely suggest this barrel to anyone that is looking for one.
Dye stainless steel and Armson Stealth....all good at the right time with the correct combination of paint.
Marker Setup:
Spyder or Tipp98
Recommended Paintballs:
The ACI Zero Gravity barrel could probably shoot rocks if they were .68. Just about any paint will do, it has a rather large bore in comparison to the other barrels.
Strengths:
Well, it is a combo barrel so you are getting the advatages of both stainless steel and aluminum. The porting keeps it pretty quiet and it shoots very accurate. I have had it for about 3 years and it still does the job so it is durable. 12" is a good length for it too.
Weaknesses:
It can detract from the range of your paint a little but it makes up for it in accuracy.
Conclusion:
Overall, this is a good buy at $70. Good for an upfront player because of it's hopper hitting accuracy and its lightweightedness at 12".
Model 98 Custom with RT Trigger Kit, Double Trigger, Vertical Adapter, PMI 4 Stage X-Chamber, ACI Zero Gravity Combo Barrel
Recommended Paintballs:
Mediu-Large Bore Size
Strengths:
Works will all paint except small bore. Very Accuracte. Very Quiet. Shot at some friends and they didn't know where it was coming from. Only takes one shot to hit what you shooting at (if you know what you're doing). Never broke a ball in it (shot 4000+ shots). Looks awesome. Fairly Cheap.
Weaknesses:
Chrome may stand out in woods games but its not really a problem. Excellent barrel. BUY IT
Conclusion:
This is a great barrel at a great price. Looks kinda like a boomstick. SWEET BARREL
F4 illustrator 4-stage x-chamber nothing fancy but good gun
Recommended Paintballs:
anything really this barrel has such a huge bore on it(.692) i believe. Big paint is better such as nelson, but shoots zap, proball, crap paint you name it just no diablo hellfire or really small stuff.
Strengths:
This barrel is pretty quiet
very accurate
looks nice
not a horrible price
Weaknesses:
Ball breaks cause ufo's(what doesnt?)
Big ass bore makes squeeging hard(need a swab to effectivitly clean)
umm....thats it
Conclusion:
This barrel is pretty kickass! I bought an All american and didnt notice a bit in accuracy or quietness from one barrel to another. I like being able to shoot cheaper paint and the big bore doesnt cause accuracy problems. Good barrel for the money i would recommend it highly
JTY Black Dragon (Has anybody ever heard of this gun but me?), low pressure chamber with pressure gage, ACI Zero Gravity barrel, Ricochet feeder, M3 electronic handle
Recommended Paintballs:
Nelson, Powerball, Anarchy
Strengths:
This barrel is really accurate, especially compared to my stock barrel. I had my pressure down to about 240 and was still making my friends wish I hadn't bought the thing. It's really light and has really tight groupings.
Weaknesses:
When you eventually break a ball you might as well kiss yourself goodbye. Squeege the sucker and hope for the best, I always end up running mine through water.
Conclusion:
Really accurate barrel and very sturdy, looks great on my gun :)
