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. |

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. ------------- Tipmann A-5 32 degrese whisper barrel 14" X core expansion chamber E-Grip JCS trigger |

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 ------------- South Texas Paintball __________________ A-5 Flatline E-Grip Double Trigger Collapsable Stock Coiled Hose Remote |
