Barrel Kit poll (I see alot of people asking what barrel to buy)

DeadStr8Paint · 07-25-2005, 02:51 PM

START POSTING YOUR REASONING...
Just wondering why everyone thinks that the barrel is better.... whether its the more bore sizes over accuracy, weight over the amount of bore sizes, weight over accuracy, looks over everything else, idk fill me in

Alright, heres the deal, vote for what you think is the best barrel KIT

This means if you vote CP or Ultralite or etc, assume this means they buy the barrel and all the backs/bore sizes they make

Post up suggestions on what barrels to add if you don't see one

What you are going to evaluate the on is the best combination of Accuracy, Noise, Efficiency, Look. (Basically the look, honing, and porting) and whatever else you can fathom

pepperstick by far, and im not just saying that because im sponsored by redz but because they truley are the best barrel kit imo.

PickleFrontman99 · 07-25-2005, 02:57 PM

i like the freak kit, you can put inserts in the back plus if you buy a new marker with a dirrerent set of threads you can purchace and new back and keep the rest of the kit and use the old inserts (corret me if im wrong)

I would say the freak kit is the best buy.

DeadStr8Paint · 07-25-2005, 03:16 PM

no, ur right^^^

and I would prefer a pepperstick kit or a matchstick kit

match stick is 4 backs, 3 fronts

pepperstick is 4 backs, *edit* "2" front, and a squeegee

but the match stick is better honed and the peppersticks have longer backs, i'm not sure lol

PickleFrontman99 · 07-25-2005, 03:31 PM

^ I agree the it is better honed but the freak is better variety wise and longer lasting as in you can use it for multple markers.
Smart Parts has made great barrels for a while and I think they did it best.

i picked kaner but only because i have it i think freaks are over rated and long bows suck never shot a pepper stick or match stix but if i have then i might like them but i dont know

DeadStr8Paint · 07-25-2005, 03:44 PM

I already have the Freak kit, and the UL smokes it, I'm getting the Peppersticks and I'll let you know if that smokes those too

although the only disadvantage that the frek kit has is that its heavy, but the **** loads of inserts is good too, even if you dont need most of them

PBman · 07-25-2005, 03:58 PM

those of you who voted freak because you can switch backs for different guns jsut remember that egos,timmies,trixes,freestyles, and almost everthing else is going to cocker threading.

YouGotBunkered · 07-25-2005, 04:07 PM

isnt the longbow some sniper barrel kit?

ShockerBoi818 · 07-25-2005, 04:21 PM

Yes, I agree

DeadStr8Paint · 07-25-2005, 05:34 PM

I'm gonna have to start doin some tests, my freak kit must have been a bad one because its inaccurate as hell, too much porting givin it some turbulence etc.

Themotionman13 · 07-25-2005, 11:28 PM

ok, well Ive shot alot of barrels cept the pepper sticks, and I want to try one badly!.

Stiffi kit- Ok, its a great 1 piece barrel, but the bore for the gun, is a 1 inch screw on insert, not that great of a back.

freak kit- AWESOME design, on just swaping the inserts, well the S.S backs and inserts are haeavy, there more durable than aluminum. Only bad side is the spiral porting, when you chop the barrel dosent self clean after a few shots like most barrels, so when the paint exits the gun it has a curvature because of the porting.

UL kit- Weather you have titanium backs, or ultralight backs there going to shoot the same.. AMAZINGLY, one of the better barrels on the market. Dye no longer offers a wide range of backs, now they reduced it to 3, and the stock DM backs. (.682?, .688(stock dm back), .689, .693.)

Matchstick- Never really shot a matchstick, nobody has them arround here, so cant say anything about them.

Pepper stick kit- havent shot one yet

shaft- Great stock barrels, one of the better ones that come on the egos. I havent shot a kit, but the shaft one piece is a great barrel, its up there with the UL.

Cp kit- Great kit, a little expensive, and has the weird looks to it, but they shoot nice, great porting, and honing.

Empire- THe kit gets pointless after a 7pc, the 11pc is not worth the extra money. The empire 7/11 pc kit dont include alot of individual bores like the freak does, they carry different sizes for some odd reason. Your better off buying the 4pc kit.

Kaner- decent, The old kit was alot better than the new ones IMO, and they looked cooler. It is a good kit, long backs, but there a little odd shaped. One of the better kits. (similar to the match stick in looks)

sceptor kit- Nice, shoots better like the freak, same type of inserts.. Its a bitch to clean all the paint out of them tho, even with the Easy clean pieces.

Long bow- never shot.

Evil pipe kit- Great self cleaning barrels, if you chop, they shoot normal after a couple shots, they have a strange signature sound, and the fades look a little off. Covers alot of the bores available.

Lucky 15 kit- GREAT kit, covers the 3 basic bores, small, med., large, and its a 15inch 1 piece barrel. Shoots great.

If I forgot any thing, oh well... The better kits are, pepper sticks, lucky15, Boom box kits (ul/titainum), cp, and empire. Of corse price varries, the boombox kit being one of the more expensive ones on the market.

DeadStr8Paint · 07-26-2005, 08:19 AM

the shaft is the 2 piece barrel that PE makes, the SOLO is the one piece thats on the ego.

paintball king · 07-28-2005, 11:33 AM

i would say the ultralight but the freak is a close second in my opinon i have seen both shot and there bth really goog

SoCal Crew · 07-29-2005, 08:16 PM

i like the stiffi cuz its soo lite

Yellow · 07-30-2005, 07:17 AM

Of the ones I have expierience with:
Stiffi - lightest by far, accuracy: shots stay within a square foot of each other, looks cool
Freak (What I own) - Many inserts cover all paint sizes, two different kinds of fronts, accuracy: shots stay about an 8"sq of each other

And to answer a previous question, yes the longbow is indeed a sniper kit

trusplat98 · 07-30-2005, 10:47 AM

i cant believe so many votes for freaks. if you drop the inserts your screwed. i dont even think they are all that accurate either. i would take a stiffi over any freak kit.

texanwitharake · 07-30-2005, 11:26 AM

match stix by far a team near hear is sponsored by them and the loan out there barrels for people to try out they are just plane amasing. i own a freak and a cp and it blows both of them away.
