CP kit vs freak kit vs equation pro

[DaosBeoulve]

Alright, I know there have been MULTIPLE threads about each of these, but I haven't found the exact answers I've been looking for using the search feature... I've been pricing barrel systems the past few days, and I think I can get any of those within my price range(well, except the full CP kit--I don't have over $300 to spend on a barrel right now...) Can anyone give me pros and cons about each of these? People who have each of these kits, how do you like them? Any negative aspects of any of these I should know about? Thanks for everything guys and gals.

(ps--if a thread similar to this has been posted before, just point me to it and feel free to delete this one... I searched for one, but came up with nothing...)

I like the CP Kit myself...

um......

never used the Cp but i have used the freak and multiple switch. The only drawback to the freak is that the inserts dent kinda easily. (never dented mine but it could happen). The equation's inserts are tougher and i just plain like it more. Its more custamizable sp?. Well thats my opinion.

I can only tell you about my freak experience. Getting my second one from don soon. The inserts do seem delecate, but if you take good care of them you'll be fine. I've had my first set for a year with no problems. Only getting a second, so I can run my two intimidators on the same paint at the same time.

Alright, another question looking at the CP kit--what happens if I end up getting an xtreme in the future? will I have to buy all new backs because of the different style 'threads'? I might be completely off, but that's how it looks to me....

[Miscue]

Yeah, you would need new bores. That's the downside.

[wyn1370]

w/ the freak you would only need a new back.

[DaosBeoulve]

Hmmm.... I hate choices sometimes.... I really liked the CP kit more when I was pricing, but having to buy all new bores if I change guns is a pretty big downside... So, I guess it's between the multiple switch and the freak... Just how easy do the freak inserts dent? The multiple switch looks more customizable, but isn't having all the various screw in pieces leaving the door open to a slight mismatch that would turn my gun into a paint blender? I guess I'm mainly just worried because I don't want to spend upwards of $200 on a kit and then not be absolutely happy with it... Mayhaps this weekend when I go out to play someone will have a freak kit and I can talk them into letting me see how I like it... Anyone with the multiple switch kit in the Nashville, TN area so I can try it out as well?

ive got both, and yes there is that downside to the CP but it shoots better than the freak

like i said i have both

[DaosBeoulve]

How does it shoot better cliffio? quieter? more gas efficient? or just all around better? Sorry I keep asking all these questions, but I'm indecisive and heck, it took me 4 months to decide on my RT Pro...

[Cliffio]

maybe its just a personal thing, but I believe that it shoots better just all around better, its easier to clean, its rather quite, it looks sweet

in my opinion its just a higher quality barrel kit when compared to the freak

it shoots like a dream

If i was to buy one, I think I'd get the CP. The only thing is, the Freak has more inserts. So, to any CP kit owners out there, have you ever not had an insert that would fit paint well? also, which would be cheaper (actual stores not MSRP), all the Cp backs + polished front, or the freak's stainless back, all inserts, + "silver" 10" freak front? Thanks a lot.

i have a freak and i proudly admit it was the greatest purchase i've made for my setup. i'm always dead on accurate and i've never had a problem. although i have heard a lot of things about the inserts being quite fragile i myself have never dented or damaged any part of the barrel. i've had it for about a year and played about once a week since i got it and it's been problem free. i've even dropped a few inserts a number of times and while maybe it was just the way they hit the ground i have yet to damage one. i'm sorry i can't give more insight on the cp but i hope this helps. goodluck with your decision.

Has anyone on AO tried the equation system?

[kutter]

I am wondering why no one mentioned the ACI Phat system. Is there something undesireable about it? I was thinking of getting that or the Freak.
