Wah.It's a great barrel to have for any situation, though. And if you ever get into a situation where you have to use paint that the field provides or any situation when you have to use unfamiliar paint, a kit like the Freak comes in handy.

Shop around for what's in your price range. There are some really good barrels out there for cheap. Try http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com  its all player review in a list format.

 Um you need good long barrel because the 8 inch will suck. Get like a 12 or a 14 inch, because they are perfect for woodsball and speedball.

well i disagree if you do your math correctly 8 inches is the perfect length for a barrel with adding in friction and everything else plus in speedball you dont need a long barrel very often
