diablos all the way, they shoot the best and are fairly accurate in this barrel.
Strengths:
It does not cost that much, looks cool, i have not broken a ball in my spyder using this barrel ever!(about 4 months and 6000 paintballs) It is also more quiet than any other barrel I have used that I can remember
Weaknesses:
A friend used it on his gun( the barrel didn't fit right but he still wanted to try it, and as soon as one broke, it sucked, but any gun it is meant for it will work fine with.
Conclusion:
This is a great addition to any spyder, genesis, or pirahna of any kind, I never had a ball break with my spyder so for only $50($35 at some wal-mart stores) it would make a great barrel for rec players and a great backup barrel for tournament players, so get it.
It looks cool, quiet, the only barrel they had at wal-mart, helps the accuracy, kinda.
Weaknesses:
OK. THIS IS A CRAPPY BARREL. I GOT IT AT WAL-MART AND MADE A HUGE MISTAKE. IT DOES'NT SHOOT FAR. ACCUALLY, MY STOCK BARREL SHOT FARTHER. THATS SAD. ITS AN OVERPRICED PIPE THAT SHOULD'NT HAVE BEEN MADE. I AM WARNING YOU. DO NOT GET THIS.
Conclusion:
Its a terrible barrel to get. I don't know, maybe it just does'nt work for spyders. doesn't shoot far at all. looks cool, I thought it was a 2 peice but at first. Let me put it this way. Its a cool looking crappy shooting overpriced look a like. DON"T BUY IT.
Stingray barrel upgrade/ stock barrel on the viewloader genesis surge
Marker Setup:
Viewloader Genesis surge, 200 rd. hopper, 9oz CO2 tank, this barrel
Recommended Paintballs:
I've used Zap, they don't break often in the barrel, but they don't break often on impact either, so try something else.
Strengths:
This barrel looks cool, and increased the accuracy of my surge greatly.
Weaknesses:
Hard to find. Many people said that you can get it at wal-mart or k-mart, but I check both and K-mart did not carry it, wal-mart did not have it in stock, and another wal-mart did not carry it. Some people don't care how well you gun is concealed, but in a forest game, the silver on the barrel makes you easy to find.
Also does not fit as many threads as one would think. I tried spyder barrels on my Surge and they did not fit, and I tried this barrel on a spyder, and it did fit.
Conclusion:
I think this is a great barrel. Like I said, it increased the accuracy of my Surge by a lot. Some people say that the barrel sucks, others say that it's great. I think if you have a gun it was made for, either Viewloader, spyder, or Avenger, then you'll do just fine with it.
looks pretty cool and is very cheap. you can get it at almost any Wal-Mart for 35 dollars. easy to find and it goes great with just about any spider threaded setup. i play professionally and i think that this barrell is great. alot more acurate than stock
Weaknesses:
busted balls fill the porting. can bust balls if you shoot too fast. light balls have a tendency to flutter a little more easily
Conclusion:
i think its a good barrell for beginners and it is very cheap. anyone looking for just enough performance to hone in your skills, buy this one!!! not every one has 100 dollars to spend on a paintball gun barrel
DYE Boomstick, Smart Parts: All American, Tear Drop, Progressive, Big Daddy
Marker Setup:
Many Variations of Spyder markers w/ VL BBL
Recommended Paintballs:
The barrel shoots just about any paint, but I recommend something good that can recover from a break decently. Marbs are pretty nice, All-Star = much better.
Strengths:
It's shoots ok with a decent distance. It's much better than the stock barrel.
Looks cool :) LOL
The price was around $35 at Wal-Mart!!!
Weaknesses:
Breaks paint every 100 or so shots, and doesn't recover very well.
What do you expect for $35?
Conclusion:
It's ok for a beginner--a small and cheap upgrade; hence,
You get what you pay for. If you want better accuracy and a better barrel, expect to spend more money.
I recommend Smart Parts' Progressive for performace/price, but the All American is a better performing barrel.
i have only played with it one game and it did pretty good
maked a good improvement over stock
a little bit quieter
doesn't break to many balls
looks like a boomstick
Weaknesses:
hard to clean
if the velocity is to high the balls will break
SHINEY gives away your position
Conclusion:
its a good barrel
shoots semi - straight
I would recomend a RAZZOR instead.
longer range tighter pattern and its the same price or cheaper.
don't expect to much from VIEW LOADER
just read the reviews on both and compair
im am 34 years old and play pro. my little sis plays and has a vl barell on her avenger. i tried it out just for the heck of it and i was impressed.it is very quiet and shoots quite well.had good accuracy and very well range.she told me that she got it for only 50$ which to me is great price.this is a good one for backyard players.
Weaknesses:
nothin really
Conclusion:
if you dont want to spend too much on a barell and if youlike the way your barell looks just as much as preformes ....get it
Spyder Compact 2000 w/ 32 Degrees remote line adaptor and force three cyclone bolt
Recommended Paintballs:
Any 32 Degrees paint, RP Scherer, Diablo, don't use Brass Eagle paint
Strengths:
This barrel looks awesome on any spyder. The accuracy is incredible for a barrel so low priced. Haven't broken one ball in it out of 400 rounds. Nice and short for the stealthy, rushing type. Did I mention this barrel looks AWESOME?!!
Weaknesses:
IF you get a ball break, the barrel bites really hard, you'll be spraying like a fountain. However I put emphasis on the word IF. Hardly breaks balls. The only balls it will break are of course, Brass Eagle paint. Careful for the paint job, scratches very easily.
Conclusion:
This barrel is great!! It rocks your world and your mama's world. Definitely a must for Spyder owners.
Piranha G3 VF BL with forgrip VL Barrel new bolt and a forgrip.
Recommended Paintballs:
Big Ball or marbs
Strengths:
This barrel is awesome. It was my friends barrel, then we traded. I had a CP and they have the same accuraccy, but the VL is quieter. Only broke 1 ball, and i chopped that one.
Weaknesses:
This barrel can't shoot through paint, so when you break, your dead.
Conclusion:
Get this barrel or a CP, thsi is better. I don't know the price 'cause I traded.
Looks sweet!
Great price
Muffled my gun some
Got a little more distance
Increase stock accuracy greatly
Weaknesses:
I though it was a 2 piece when I got it. Can't find a ball that fits perfect. Not that bad, though, it still shoots great!
Conclusion:
When I first saw this at wal-mart, I was like "I bet this barrel sucks." But my friend got one for his Spyder and he was getting people out left and right. So a week later, I got it and it was awesome!
