This is an excellent barrel, and one of the best I've used so far. Very accurate and quiet. The a-5 is a loud gun, but this barrel definitely makes it sound less like a building demolition. I use two different barrels for my A-5, this one for sound and accuracy, and the Flatline for range.

Another good thing about this that I got to test out only once is that if you break a ball in the barrel, shooting more balls will clean it out. I managed to finally break a ball when a twig got into my hopper and jammed my gun. After I took the twig out and put more balls in, a few shots and the barrel was clean.

Another thing worth noting is the weight. I would say that it weighs about half as much as a normal barrel of the same size, and is much lighter than the flatline. This is good on your arm since the a-5 is already a heavy beast, no need to make it heavier.

One bad thing is the size. I think now I would have preferred the 16" version of this barrel, but at the time, this one was on sale here at Amazon. Unless you want the extra 4" for intimidation value, get the 16" or even the 14".

Also, I'm not a mil-sim guy, but I know a lot who like this barrel because they can incorporate it well as a sniper barrel for realism.

This is a great barrel, I am relitivly new at paintball. Now when I play people are getting mad at me b/c I can easly hit the accuratly from at least 150ft. I use a tippmann pro/carbine. Most people dont want to play with me anymore. Fits perfectly under the grip for the procarbine. Great "Sniping" barrel (even though there is no such thing as sniping in paintball). Great price. Great item.

Awesome barrel! It gives me the range I want and without having to buy a flat-line!

If you buy this barrel I recommend getting a longer squeegee as the one I have is 21" long and is time consuming.
