but I'd rather have Doug Spieth get the Super Chromium barrel award program working again. It's been six years and a few thousand useless posts, I think I've earned one. It shouldn't take much of a PM campaign to get Doug to relent and start giving those away again  ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |

I remember the old Super Chronium threads. They would go on for 8
or 9 pages until someone spilled the beans. Good times...

The Super Chromium barrel is just a myth, nothing more. They claim that the barrel has "a special alloy interior coating made of mercury, teflon, and chromium" to make the best barrel in the world. These same people claim that the only way to get one is to be a platinum member of the forums. Its all BS. First of all, the materials its made of makes no sense. Chromium is used to make chrome, so that would give it a shiny appearance (useless on the interior) and a non-corrosive surface (not ususally a problem in paintball barrels). The teflon could maybe do something to reduce friction, but its quite unlikely. But the mercury is what really disproves this myth. Mercury is a toxic liquid metal. It has no benefits that would make it a viable barrel material (unless it would poison any player that gets hit with a paintball on their bare skin). And second, if Tippmann really had a barrel like this (which they don't) they wouldn't reserve it for a select few. They would sell, sell, sell and make boatloads of money. Don't let anyone fool you, the Super Chromium barrel does not exist. You cannot get one. Case closed. ------------- 98 Custom HK G36C Appearance 70/4500 Dye Throttle Ricochet AK Polished Internals Aluminum Power Tube Dye Sticky 3 Grips Next on the list: ??? |

After a night in BigAl's tent, you definatly have earned the barrel.
I'd give the Super Chromium barrel I had to wrestle out of PBMisfit's hands Johnny, but I dont think it is allowed. -------------

Well, there's at least one more intelligent poster on here (Mad Psience). Umm, mercury is a toxic substance. It is used in many scientific thermometers (thats how you spell it) because it is much more accurate than the alcohol thermometers (the ones with the red stuff in them). Most school have alcohol thermometers now because they are safer, and the ones that still have mercury ones are being made to replace them as they are a safety hazard. And merc... damn... you are dumb...
How exactly is a barrel sealed??? merc doesn't have one, clark doesn't have one, nobody has one. they do not exist... ------------- 98 Custom HK G36C Appearance 70/4500 Dye Throttle Ricochet AK Polished Internals Aluminum Power Tube Dye Sticky 3 Grips Next on the list: ??? |

And nobody has yet to explain why mercury would even be in a barrel..

MattyJ - Has it ever occured to you that the Super Chromium is only for proffessional players, so it really doesn't matter if its made from solid ricin and kitten spleens? It could also be that the mercury is not in the elemental form but is alloyed like the junk they used to use for filling teeth. ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |

It's obvious that MattyJ and Mad Pscience have no hope of ever recieving a Super Chromium. I've heard is that it can shoot around trees. 
We lost good men that day... It's downright dangerous to look at one if you don't already have one. I was lucky enough to cover my eyes before I was blinded for all time. |

I definitely got one when I hit platty.
