Opinion on DW Carbon Fibur Barrel

[Piranti]

Fibur and Whisper are same barrels with a different name, probably due to copyright issues, same construction methods on both.

I must say, I didn't expect to get this much feedback, and all of it to be positive. All of you don't work for DW now do you???? LOL Thanks everyone, I really appreciate everything. I think I am going to take a personal day tomorrow and go play paintball!!! I'm so psyched.

I think they are great barrels , about 4 of my friends have them also , 1 guys barrel came loose from the aluminum adapter & they sent him another no ? asked & he returned the old one

If you haven't shot anything through it yet, you'll get a kick out of the 'thump!' that comes out when you fire.

QFT!

Make sure you only use rubber squeegees if you have to clean it.

again, you can use any type of barrel swab on DW barrels. They dont suffer the interior fiber lifting that Stiffis do because of the way they are made.

Taken from the DW website:

Unlike other carbon fiber barrels, the Wisper barrel is built with a unique 3 layer construction. 2x2 satin Twill external, uni-direction fibers laid up in a strong multi-vector pattern, and then a super slick "Silkfiber" inside that can be safely swabbed.

I never need a swab a few shots thru it and its shootin strait agin ( Stiffi )

BEST BARREL EVER!

No joke.

[OMRomero]

Just ordered mine. I'll post back with some results when I get it. Only thing I did not like about the barrel is that a 12 inch version is not offered.

[Ruler_Mark]

OMG Call DW tommorrow,, Tell them you want a 12 in,, they are willing to make it shorter they just don't offer it on the site.

[OMRomero]

Ok, will do.

[Bolter]

These things are SO durable they dont recommend using fluffy sticks on them

The "older" Wispers had a thin metric O-ring inside them, which had a tendency to pop out when you removed the Freak insert. The later versions, now called the Fibur, use a normal thicker O-ring in them that will not pop out.

The very first barrel I made I gave to my friend and told him to "break it". It took 3x 200lb "body slams" (like breaking over your knee, but jumping up and coming down on the edge of a table) before it broke. You can try but you will not be able to break the barrel with only your body.

What he said

[Stayhuge]

I don't think those were questions were directed at me, being that I don't run DW. LOL. any way, I have been upgrading my mag, and this is waht I am at right now. The only thing that I was considering was a Puematic set up. Not sure yet. :
