Does anyone have/use an End Game Inc Compression barrel with an A5? Impressions? Is it worth the big money? ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

Never heard of it... so no. You should ask people, "What is a good barrel for X amount of dollars?" Otherwise, check out the Uber Upgrades Faq at the top of this forum section for info on what barrels are worth the big money as you say. ------------- I don't go out with girls anymore I live a life of danger I stay at home and play with myself WEEE!

It's not the easiest barrel to find. I heard that it was designed for use with Co2, with the internals arranged in a way that would increase gas expansion, thus efficiency. I don't know of anyone who has bought one. ------------- For I will wander to and fro, I'll go where I no one do know, |

Actually the guy that runs a shop around swears by the Hammerhead, but I can't say I've tried one yet. Perhaps is does seem a bit gimmicky, but so did the flatline when it first came out. Who knows, only time will tell. ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

Yeah, it would be cool to use on a CQB course. I saw one guy take his stock A5 barrel and hack it off (cuz its basically useless anyway) to the port holes and make a stubby, and another guy play with just the rear of a SP, which was pointless, but funny. ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

How is the Hammerhead gimmicky? It's a high-end barrel kit. There's nothing gimmicky about it. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

Perhaps gimmicy was the wrong word, more like over-hyped? I don't know. Both the Hammerhead and End Game are internally rifled with different types of porting. The Hammerhead with backward-angle muzzle porting, and the End Game with what seems full-length, in addition to the external ported "sleeve." Basically new takes/evolution on the Armson Stealth formula of rifling+porting. Yes, the Hammerhead is a kit (unless you go with the "cheaper" single piece) and the Compression is supposed to be super quiet, but are either $150 set ups that much quieter, or more accurate, than say a $65 Armson for the woods guy? ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

Well, the End Game is on the way. Guess I'll find out first hand. ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

Guys,
You all have pipes made out of aluminum (for the most part). There is little that a standard pipe, I mean barrel, can do to change the way a paintball will fly through it. All of these companies are trying to sell you on the idea that thier pipe, I mean barrel, is somehow different and therefore better. Get any pipe, I mean barrel, with a shiny bore finish, get some good fresh paint, make sure that your gun is shooting consistently, and play the game. You all are fooling yourselves thinking that the pipe, I mean barrel, on the end of your gun has that much effect on the flight of the paintball. ------------- Didn't I say, "No Guns for the Monkey?"
