I think the tips are pretty useless. When the barrel can stop a bullet, I'll believe it's Kevlar. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

If stiffi's old barrels are made of carbon fiber, why cant this be made of kevlar Haha and the barrel would have to be as thick as the flatline to stop a bullet even if it was made from kevlar. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

Just because something is made of Kevlar doesn't make it bulletproof. 
Why use kevlar? Carl basically said it. Same reason my 'mechanics' gloves are made with kevlar (not entirely). My kneepads are also Kevlar reinforced. Same reason why the sidewalls of several auto tires out there are reinforced with kevlar. Kevlar is just a fabric... it's not a mystical bullet stopper, nor is it limited for use in armor. That said... I won't disagree that the use of Kevlar is just a marketing gimmick  , but whatever. I'm sure it's nice, lightweight and strong, and therefore effective. It just sounds cooler that it's got Kevlar components.

sounds like another gimmic. The tiups are also useless. The best conventional barrels out there are still the lapco bigh shot and J&J ceramic. ------------- "The key in war isn't to die for your country, but to make the othe bastard die for his". |

I would buy it if it were avalible in 98c threads. If its avalible one day in my threads, and it has the same performace as a regular stiffi ill buy it -------------

There is no reason I can think of that these would be any lower performance than a regular Stiffi barrel. The barrels themselves are made by Site Manufactoring and we made the backs and the tips. ------------- Brian "MOATI" Russell Director of Soft Goods Special Ops Paintball moati@specialopspaintball.com |

So, what you are saying is that there is no difference performance wise between the two barrels? And if you made the backs, will they be available in 98c threads, and if they are, when? Hey, you stole my last name... Two Ss and two Ls too...... -------------

Thanks lol Anyway, There is no difference between the two? I just want to make sure before I order this, Because I want a Stiffi but I would rather have it in black. I just do not want to waste $58 when for $42 more I know I wont be going wrong.... -------------

I don't want to say that there's no difference....since I don't know for sure when Site started manufacturing Stiffi's using the E-glass....but it's even lighter and smoother than the carbon fiber and other-wise built to the same standards as their other barrels. ------------- Brian "MOATI" Russell Director of Soft Goods Special Ops Paintball moati@specialopspaintball.com |

It looks like lots of you have stiffi barrels. Any of you know how it would compare to a Dye Ultralight?
