is it good? like paying 100 bucks for it is it worth it?

[NYY]

not really worth it unless you play very often and use different paint. Just get a good medium bore (.689) barrel and most paint will work fine.

plus there are better barrel kits out there now

[¤COLD¤]

id get a empire they i really nice i got my 7 pc. and i love it, alot of the paint i use is about .687,684

[PaintBallBob]

wait, isnt the retail like $200?

[W1ldK@t]

Yeah the freak blows. Go with the kaner, empire, pipe. Prob in that order, or switch empire and kaner for best bang for the buck.

[The nforcer2006]

Yea i love my empire. The Freak isnt what i thought it would be when i test fired it.

The Freak Kit is an ok barrel system however, The inserts are not very well polished and bend easily. They are often inconsistant with their supposed sizes. Also the insert aren't held in place that securly and the barrel has horrible gas efficiency due to heavy porting. Rating. I tested probably 30 kits. The bore sizes were (as with almost all the freak kits i've tested) +\- .002 to .003 difference from what they stated. I never used my .679 but it was -.002 and my .682 was +.002 off, that made for a .007 gap, which in perfect paint to barrel matching it is a huge gap. Also the .689 was +.001 and the .691 was -.001 which made BOTH inserts .690. ALOT of the freaks i tested were similar to this, the .007 gap was an extreme and found it on only a couple but there were more gaps that were .004 and also alot where the bore sizes were no different between 2 different sizes. The Teardrop i have is +.002 off, so is my AA as well.

Personally i would go with the CP kit myself. Aluminum fronts and backs equal Light weight, comparable to being as light as the dye ultralights. The aluminum is of top great. Control bores so no inserts to mess with. Fronts and backs fit properly. Some systems seem to have problems with this, however CP's threading aligns perfectly.

Well polished internals and clean easily when breaks occur by shooting. I average 3 shots before my accuracy kicks back in and about 5 shots before its clean. The porting is light, and very efficient. On my angel ir3 I get over 200 shots more per tank than I do with a dye barrel, and over 175 more per tank than a freak kit. Similar results with CP vs Dye on a BKO, with the BKO getting about 200 more shots per tank with the CP than with the Dye or SP Barrels. Using a micrometer and a jewler's caliper (use to measure gemstone sizes, and heads for holding stones), I measured the bore sizing. Very consistant to what is stamped. Both the micrometer and jewler's caliper are accurate up to .000000001. The CP barrels bores were accurate withing .0003 of their stamped bores, except the .696 which was .0006. Best overall barrel system I've tested to date.

This is the most efficient kit I've found. It combines all assets.. light weight.. efficient.. accurate bores.. as well as good looks into 1 kit. It also comes in multiple tip colors, multiple back colors, as well as polished and satin finishes.

thanks a lot,

do u know how much the cp kit costs cause i wanna look into it

[PaintballRemix]

i will PM you the link to it, i found one especially for a Tippmann! About the only one i could find.

[BUBBASR.]

all barrel kits are about the same its the price you pay and the quality. The cp kit is fine and everytime Ive used one I have never disliked or noticed the barrel which means its good. Normally with barrels you only notice them when something is wrong with them. I prefer and always suggest the jj edge kit. Cheap in price but good quality every kit I have come by has worked well. Comes with 4 bores which is all the more you would need.

I had a freak kit when they had first come out. It was inovative and a great deal compared to say buying a bunch of boomsticks at differents bores and you can just buy a new back for it to change between guns..too bad the backs cost as much as some barrels do. Then I left it out in the sun while playing in a day and it cracked all to hell. Keep it protected and it worked at a medium level.

[PaintballRemix]

yeah when i PM'ed him i mentioned the Edge Kit. I just sold mine for my BKO, awesome kit!

[PaintBallBob]

you got a BKO for an edge kit?
yeah, id deffinitly suggest the jj edge or the 7 piece empire.

[PaintballRemix]

no, i sold my edge kit that is for my BKO.

[paintballerTI]

J&J EDGE, Scepter,Empire,Pipe,CP,longbow,freak in that order (havnt tried longbow, dont like cp barrels that much but maybe if i get some more experience in with em ill like them more. Pipe fairly ugly and loud.
