Why does nearly every company when talking about high quality material say it is "aerospace/aircraft grade"?
Suck, sqeeze, bang, blow, and GO!

Smoothbore balistic dynamics, liquid filled gell "round ball" yep a 23 in barrel will do....absolutly NOTHING to increase range and or accuracy, only empty your wallet faster. This marketing fiasco is now creeping into our airsoft world and only the unknowing are so far biting on the marketing scam of wonder barrels and round balls. I still remmember the finned "sniperballs" where you "glued" a fin assenmbly on a paintball, muzzle load it and fire, great range, wonderfull accuracy based on a better aerodynamic/balistic shape, but fins would cut exposed skin like a scalpel, another fine engineering/marketing idea trashed by reality................

It will be.  You should just send me the super chromium since you won't be using it anyways.

Seriously though, an 18" boomstick with a barrel adapter on my 98c makes it long enough to use as a walking cane.

Psh. I got my 21'' SP Sniper Barrel from Smart Parts a while ago, and beats it by a mile, litterally.

I must say though, I was at my local shop buying some green gas and the owner was ranting about those, and he sells them! Although I do wish my barrel had special engraving even though its corny

Actually, I think OSOK-ISOC would be better;  "One Shot, One Kill, I'm Spotted, Oh Crap!

(I have to give Ken Majors credit for the initial suggestion of this idea; it came from a similar comment he made in another thread.)
