The UPZ Gladius is one of the cheaper barrels on the barrel market. It costs only about $20, but is actually pretty good when it comes to performing. Sure, there are way better barrels out there, but for a price like that you can’t really expect the best. Let’s start with the looks – in [...]

For the Tippmann owners that can’t afford any of the Flatline systems, or just don’ like their looks, Tippmann made the Werks. The Works is a normal barrel system coming at a medium price and performing pretty well for the money. The barrel shoots accurate, it’s fairly light and although it’s not the quietest out [...]

The advantages of the Flatline System for the M98 Custom will far outweigh the disadvantages for most recreational players. We already went through the things you get from a Flatline barrel in comparison to a normal barrel, but for those who haven’t read the previous review here they are again. First of you get more [...]

Yet another barrel I’m not too familiar with, but let’s give it a chance shall we. The thing goes at a price in the low end of the chart and unfortunately I can’t say its performance level is any higher. To make that clearer – the barrel costs $35 and performs just like a barrel [...]

What can I say about the Teardrop. Not that it’s bad, but it’s not really the greatest barrel you can end up with. There are many other low end barrel you can get that will perform and cause less problems that this one. It’s one nice looking barrel though and it has its good sides. [...]

The Progressive barrel from Smart Parts also deserves your attention if you’re looking for a cheaper barrel to bye. It’s one piece, very nice looking and although there most certainly are better barrels out there it performs fairly good. It has good accuracy, it’s fairly quiet, pretty efficient and light weighted. Pretty much all you [...]

The Freak is another very, very popular barrel. Yet another Smart Parts product that people like very much. With its modular inserts you get great versatility to shoot whatever paint you want. The accuracy of the barrel is pretty good. It’s light and balances the gun very well. It looks good on the marker, at [...]

Being a relatively new company on the market Sly is trying to establish their name and gain respect and trust in the products they’re making. I honestly admit that I’m not too familiar with their products, but of what I hear about their Dual Carbon Barrels they really deserve some consideration. The barrels are of [...]

 
If you’re a Stiffi fan, but want something different than the base single colored barrel you should get he Stif-Stik. Performance-wise the thing is no different than Stiffi, it’s just the looks that make it better (for some of course…others will prefer the base colors). The Stif-Stik line is a patent-pending process where colors and [...]
