Barrels

And here’s the alternative if you’re not a 1 Piece barrel fan. The Proto 2 Piece is again not the perfect barrel out there, but the price tag makes it attractive. Performance-wise it’s the same as the Proto One Piece – pretty accurate (but we’ve seen better), light (we’ve seen lighter), quiet (not the quietest). [...]

If you’ve narrowed your choice to a Powerlyte barrel the Scepter is the one I recommend getting. There’s not a straight answer to why the Scepter is better than the other two Powerlyte barrels I reviewed, but it just is. If you’ve read the previous two reviews you’ll know I’m absolutely not bashing the other [...]

Odyssey are known for the quality products they make. Their 3 Piece Barrel Kit is no difference. The barrels are excellent. They shoot very accurate and are pretty efficient. The barrels look great and you have 4color options – red, blue, silver and black. They are very quiet and pretty light, but balance on the [...]

I’ve always liked MACDev products and this barrel kit is not a difference. It gets you pretty much everything you need from a barrel kit – three backs (.685 .689 and .693) and two most popular tips (12″ and 14″) – maybe not in the perfect looking case, but still. Most importantly you get those [...]

The Microshot gets its name by the size of paintballs it uses – the smallest of them all. It’s yet another $50 Lapco barrel and unfortunately yet another I can call nothing, but average. If you use the right paint the thing shoots pretty accurate, but I guess that’s true for almost every other barrel [...]

This is not a barrel I’m too familiar with, but people often refer to it as the most gas efficient and accurate 12″ barrels available. I can agree with that since the Lapco Autospirit isn’t heavily ported like the Dye or Smart Parts. This allows you to run a lower pressure while maintaining the same [...]

The JT 2 Piece barrel is another good one out there, but certainly not my favorite. Yes, the thing has its advantages, but for the price it’s going you can absolutely find something better. Starting with the fact that it’s a two piece – you can change backs and fronts and get pretty much every [...]

Yet another great barrel from the J&J Performance. I know it’s confusing when there are so many good barrels out there, but I can’t call the black white and give it a bad review when it is just awesome. So you just have to go with your personal preference and get the one that you [...]

This one really deserves attention. You may think it’s some sort of a junk barrel since it costs only about $40 but you can’t be more wrong about it. The J&J Performance Ceramic Barrel is absolutely worth double that price or even more, because of its great performance. It’s not only light and extremely accurate, [...]
