so, you think because you went out and bought that 22 inch barrel, you'll get better distance and will be able to snipe people..
poppycock. I owned (temporarily) a barrel that was guranteed to shoot 65 feet further than any other barrel ive owned.. how you say? well, the proof is in the puddin, or in this case, on the barrel:

the same addage that goes to cars (adding stickers to your car, adds 5 horsepower per sticker) goes for barrels. i got this freak in a trade, and it can shoot 65 feet further than any other barrel i have owned (13 stickers, for uber pimpness)
well. needless to say, i was slightly amused. i didnt want stickers all over my barrel, so, i did the same thing any self respecting, anti-sticker-whore would do.. i peeled them off. and of couse, this left just as much of an eye sore had i just left it on there.
naturally, some of the glue from the stickers were still on there. i cant have this. so, i rummage the house for the perfect thing to clean this off. let me tell you, was this fun.
heres what doesnt work:
lysol all-purpose cleaner. lemon, or orange fresh.
hot soapy water
sharp knife to peel the glue off
running it through the dishwasher with a load of dishes
heres what did work:
comet (bathroom cleaner)
toothbrush
hot water
after about 10 minutes of scrubbing, i had my barrel back. so now, i dont have an ungodly barrel that will allow me to shoot an additional 65 feet ontop of what i already shoot. so, when i get you out, its just youre really bad playing.
by the way, want to thank adam for the freak. thanks adam!
