The Blackcell barrels are extremely strong, super quiet, lightweight, and are available in black and olive drab colors. The C-Series barrels are made with an ultra-smooth fiberglass compound center (known as e-glass) to further enhance accuracy, and also feature a carbon-wrapped and Kevlar construction for optimum strength and rigidity.

Featuring killer looks, durability and top performance, the Blackcell C-Series barrels are among the best barrels in the industry today. Eight barrel tips are also available for the Blackcell C-Series barrels.

sounds like a mix of a j&j and a stiffi. cool kevlar.

i like the idea for the millsim tips.

I think the tips are pretty useless. When the barrel can stop a bullet, I'll believe it's Kevlar.

If stiffi's old barrels are made of carbon fiber, why cant this be made of kevlar

Haha and the barrel would have to be as thick as the flatline to stop a bullet even if it was made from kevlar.

Just because something is made of Kevlar doesn't make it bulletproof.

Why use kevlar? Carl basically said it.

Same reason my 'mechanics' gloves are made with kevlar (not entirely). My kneepads are also Kevlar reinforced. Same reason why the sidewalls of several auto tires out there are reinforced with kevlar.
Kevlar is just a fabric... it's not a mystical bullet stopper, nor is it limited for use in armor.

That said... I won't disagree that the use of Kevlar is just a marketing gimmick , but whatever. I'm sure it's nice, lightweight and strong, and therefore effective. It just sounds cooler that it's got Kevlar components.

sounds like another gimmic. The tiups are also useless. The best conventional barrels out there are still the lapco bigh shot and J&J ceramic.
