...........Yes, the Freak is extremely good. It is a great barrel, especially with all the inserts. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

| I was going to get the Freak JR Barrel kit but from what I heard the inserts aren't that durable. I'd much rather go with a solid bore back like with the Evil Pipe Barrel kit. Both are sure to leave a hole in your wallet but I'd say you'll definitly get your moneys worth. |

| Oh being as this question is kind of related, how many of you find all the different bore size inserts/backs useful? I'm still in the process of deciding which barrel or barrel kit to get. |

Not worth the money.
I have the full Freak for my angel and I don't think it's any better then the 1 piece barrels I have. Paint to barrel match is overrated. ------------- http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/2688/3guns27ef.jpg - My Paintball Guns http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2711/arand9mmak9.jpg - New "Toys" |

Can you get all the inserts in lets say black or green or do they have to multicoloured? ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

You can get the Freak with stainless inserts now. Really creamy, I just got them myself. I can't even flex them. And the Freak is better than the Pipe because it is more versatile, has more bore sizes, and can be used on any gun out there with a simple back piece change.
The pipe is nice too, but it's a little more limiting. Probably a better buy if you don't want as many parts. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

True, true. The stainless steel inserts are more durable but I'd say if you're cautious and take care of your things you shouldn't have a big problem with the regular inserts bending. Sure the Freak has more inserts but come on when are you really going to be using .679, .682, .693, .695 bores?!?! Most paintball makers today are making .689 balls. One thing that I do like is what snakeeyes mentioned, the freak can be used on any other gun just by buying the back piece unlike the pipe which all the solid bore backs come with your guns specific barrel thread.  I'd
say just get the Freak back, what ever front (all american, freak front (basically teardrop), and the .689, .691 bore inserts. |

Then again if you have the money and use small
paintballs get the specific bore size insert.

As for the necessity of all the Freak inserts, I actually have used 6 out of the 8 sizes before.
Plus, another bonus of the new stainless inserts is that they got rid of the useless .679 insert and replaced it with the larger and more useful .695 insert. I have actually had to use the .695 insert before. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |

How much do you play? I have one and probably wouldn't buy one again, unless I started playing more than a couple times a year again... ------------- [IMG]http://hometown.aol.com/hlwrangler/myhomepage/revised5_copy.jpg"> ""...the Marines we have there now could crush the city and be done with business in four days."--LtGen Conway on Fallujah |

Yeah, I was good for me because I praticed once a month and played tournies with it.
If your just a rec player, go with something like a CP one piece, or a Lapco Bigshot or Snapshot if you want some versatility. ------------- Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts? http://www.pennstatepaintball.com" rel="nofollow - PSU Paintball |
