Review:
Bought this barrel new with my marker, was surprised at the weight and initially accuracy was not an issue on single shot, recently bought an e-trigger and when ramping the nightstick sprays all over the place, I literally couldn't put two shots in the same place all day. This may have been down to the large bore size but it seriously affected my performance and I had to resort to suicide runs and spraying away my paint.
Conclusion:
Very cheap and lightweight, but not the best barrel on the market by a long way

Review:
This barrel right off the bat is sexy looking! I picked it up from a surplus store in Canada and I gotta say, it's very nice.
It's very lightweight, quiet, and accurate and it's worth the buy.
I just managed to testfire it today and it gave me fairly decent results. I was using smaller bore sized paint so it wasn't as accurate as I would have hoped but it still stood up to semi auto on my Mini. I fired off roughly 100 shots, all hitting within a foot radius I belive of eachother which is good. The bore size on this thing is huge In my opinion. It's sitting pretty at .692, which I believe is too large and would have been better at roughly .689 since the paint that tends to be out in the paintball industry is smaller.
Thats really my only complaint other than it only comes in the greyish metallic shiny black. I have a blue invert mini so it throws the look off slightly. i can imagine it would look killer on the black invert mini though.
This barrel i believe if matched up with correct sized paint will tear through your opponents and be very accurate. It feels like nothing is even on your marker at the front due to the lightweight design of the carbon fibre. But don't get me wrong, this thing is strong and durable and can give some pretty mean results.
Conclusion:
This is a very cheap barrel for Carbon fiber. It will give you the results you need for your marker through its accuracy, lightweight design, and stunning looks. i recommend this to anyone on the paintball market looking for a good edition to their gun. Like I said before, be sure to use larger sized paintballs for best results.

Nice looking
Good at shooting through breaks
Weaknesses:

Review:
This barrel shoots very accurately and no balls will ever get jammed in the barrel if warped considering its a larger bore size which is no problem doesnt matter if the bore size matches the balls perfectly
The barrel is very very light especially if you are going from a aluminum barrel to this you will be shocked
Conclusion:
This barrel is cheap and amazing empire is trying to make the invert brand well known and out there by providing quality products at reasonable prices this barrel is a steal

Review:
barrel is very sleek and sexy, very comparible to many of the other Cf barrels on the market but half the price but still has the performance of one of the ones that are double the price like Stiffi and SLY i'm not saying don't buy the more expensive ones but the nightstick straight up ripps.
Conclusion:
Over all this barrel is great i personally love it i have used my friends stiffi and it is very comparible. it is very sexy and a very light barrel it shoots just as accurate as any barrel on the market i would definately suggest buying it if you are looking for a CF barrel that is cheap in price but not performance.
I love this barrel. It's very light, accurate, and looks good too.
One thing I heard about this barrel is that since the interior of it is Carbon Fiber, if you use a micro-fiber squeegee, it scratches the inside, therefore voiding the warrenty. If this is/is't true, please let me know ASAP.
Other then that, this barrel is VERY good. At the begining of a game, im able to pick people of with only using about 2-3 shots.
Conclusion:
This is a great product. Very cheap, but very much worth it. Accurate, light, and durable.

Weaknesses:
Range could be a bit better
Review:
well this was the first time i used my nightstick so i was real eager. After gassing up the guns I first went to test it out on the target range, and was pretty impressed with the accuracy of the nightstick. It was hitting targets i was aiming for which is always good but when we got into the games although it was still very accurate the range on the barrel was quite weak. Its good for about 40/45 feet but then starts to drop and so i was forced to do a hell of a lot of lob shots today. Good accurate barrel but the range just doesn't cut the mustard.
Conclusion:
This barrel does rock and is very accurate but the range isn't very good, if the range could increase by another 15 feet then this barrel is an easy 10 but at the moment i will only give it an 8

8 out of 10

Review:
I thought it would be good to get a tactical paint ballers perspective on this excellent barrel.
Many may assume due to its invert origin and flashy carbon fiber, that it would be unsuitable for tactical or bush paintball, this is not the case, especially when using a shroud with a gun like an x7.
So I got this barrel in march while shopping for a cheap barrel, around 60$ to use for CQQ instead of my stock barrel and I was initally disappointed with its performance, but now I realize that that was mostly due to cheap/cold paint.
So I highly recommend it for CQB use and/or to replace a stock barrel on just about any gun.
I would compare this barrel in performance to a J&J ceramic or a lapco bigshot sans apex. But obviously not meeting the performance of adjustable bore size or special barrels like stiffis, apex, flatline, hammerheads. Still good value.
Conclusion:
So I highly recommend it for CQB use and/or to replace a stock barrel on just about any gun.

This barrel is amazing, it's shinier than a stiffi, and a very tiny bit heavier. It's amazingly accurate i was thinking a freak barrel or, a dye ultralight, but this was only 56$! Also ithad my invert logo. So i bought it and haven't looked back, this barrel rules!! if you have a mini buy this barrel, and save some money for a L7 bolt or something.

Review:
This is a great tournament and rec barrel due to its weight and performance. Its bore size is nice and big (.693) so you dont have to worry about swelled or deformed paint. I have used this barrel in the worst of conditions and it still out shot a Death Stix Barrel Kit easily
Conclusion:
This is an insane barrel for a great price. Shoots great on any marker and looks Awesome. PZ
