Deadlywind releasing Fibur-X carbon fiber paintball barrel

the price is still kinda high though. I have no idea if they'll still use freak inserts.

i guess the empire CF front/superfreak back decided to kick them in the tail... OR they have the same OEM manufacturer and decided just to pony on =P

But, why bother? It defeats the purpose of using an insert if you use a barrel adapter.

so you don't have to buy different barrels; instead you can just buy new adapter backs?
this seems redundant; i hope this picture is a fake

looks fairly legit. agreed. on redundant uselessness... but i guess it saves on buying a barrel for each marker.... but it might as well be a null

I'd guess the insert fits in the adapter as well.

martix_agent

which is what they say is going to happen. I'm not sure how, as my inserts don't stick out of my barrel at all

A shallower bored section in the mainbarrel. It will always require the use of one of those short barrel backs.

martix_agent

ohhhh, I see now that the barrel is different. I thought they were just selling back parts. In order to make use of this I would have to buy an entirely new barrel.

exactly, this isnt an adapter like we are used to seeing. classic adaptors the paintball leaves the breach ---> into the adapter (where it can touch the walls) ---> into the barrel

this is breach---> insert with the adapter on the outside of the insert

really its a pretty clever idea, this way DW only has to make 1 barrel for every marker and sell them with different adapters

it probably adds a little weight but hey, now if you have a mix of threads you dont need multiple fiburs
really though they should have thought this up before 90% of the market was cocker threaded already

adds 5 grams of extra weight. That's a deal breaker.
