This is a very affordable barrel with great performance. I got mine for $20 on ebay and I use it on my evil omen. It looks great and has been quite accurate. I believe it fires just as well or better then Smart Parts barrels (unless you got the freak).
Conclusion:
It's a killer barrel with a low pricetag. What are you waiting for, GO GET IT.

X-ball silver is what ive always used, shot some diablo heat but only when my field was out of X-ball.
Strengths:
Very Quiet. Accurate for the price.
Weaknesses:
It is a stock barrel after all.
Review:
I can honestly say that i have never chopped a ball in my matrix. I dont know if its from the Anti-chop eyes or the barrel, but ive never chopped a ball, and I play almost every weekend. Very quiet, if you move bunkers it takes a second for the opposition to find you, but by then you should have a bead on their goggles anyways right?
Conclusion:
If your looking for a cheap, quiet barrel that shoots well, get this, if you've got the dough, get a pipe kit or a freak set, or a Ti boomstick if your loaded with cash :P
This is the best barrel I have ever used. It looks great and performs even better. This barrel can be used for speedball or woodsball. I use it for both. The proto 1 piece is also one of the quietest barrels you will find. I love the different colors it comes in.

Great barrel for it price. This is the most realiable barrel i saw in its price range. Buy this barrel. The price of this barrel was forty five dollars. I recomand getting a forteen inch one. When i shot it went mad accurate after seventy five feet. This barrel is a big brand for a cheap price and it is very accurate and realiable.
so far ive only tried the scorch with it and those r from walmart and they work great
Strengths:
Quiet
accurate
looks good
Weaknesses:
None that i have found
Review:
So far ive only shot about 400 paintballs in this but so far its worked great no breaks at all very accurate i got 2"x1" groupings on a 3 round burst and its also very quiet i can hear my bolt over the sound of my barrel which isnt all that loud any way it also looks great
Conclusion:
u should get this barrel see review for why u should get it im giving it a nine because absolutely nothings is perfect except for God
i used zap Sport Series worked fine. with brass eagle it choped some balls
Strengths:
Light ,accurate ,cheap ,Quiet
Weaknesses:
None.
Review:
this barrel very accurate i had no chop I would recommend this barrel to anyone. get this barrel if you like accuracy and don't like paying a lot for it. it dose get lose on my gun but that's not a big problem. this is way better then my stock barrel improved my accuracy by a Lot. for the price its a good buy
Conclusion:
For the price good barrel works good with my gun.

Does not cleen through breaks thats why we have squeegies
Review:
This barrel came stock on my proto and i was pretty suprised. I though since it was a a stock barrel it was not going to be good but i was wrong. The barrel was good considerin i was useing some Zap paint. After i bought some xball paint from my field i was amazed how well the barrel shot. The only somewhat bad thing is once you break paint the accuracy goes down the drain. Just clean it out with a squeegie and you will be fine.
Conclusion:
Over all i was very impressed with this barrel and i like it alot i would buy it.
For 40 bucks this barrel is probably the best bang for your buck. Its very accurate. When testing it , im aiming at a skinny tree with probably a diameter of around 5in from about 30ft away. First shot dead center on the tree, second a little to the left of the first but hit the tree, and the third shot was the same as the second. Also this barrel is very light, probably half as light as my progressive. For 40 bucks this barrel is probably one of the best buys i have done. VERY WORTH IT!!!!!
Conclusion:
Looking for a new barrel and your on a budget then this barrel is for u.

The Proto One-Piece Barrel is obviously nice because of the manufacturer. Proto makes excellent products.
I found the barrel to be quite quiet. I currently use a Stiffi, which is much quieter, but the Proto still packs a punch.
This barrel is very accurate. It shoots straight, depending on one factor. The kind of paint you use. With a Proto Barrel, you must use a paintball such as an Xball. I shot the barrel with PMI Menaces, and the barrel just wouldn't stop chopping. I highly suggest using a really high quality paint.
This barrel will chop for about the first 500-1000 balls. After this, you will have a nice, quiet, accurate barrel.
Conclusion:
Overall, this is an excellent barrel for $50.00. It is tough to find a barrel with such precision as this for its price.
