I agree with you in everything you said except for three things:

1.) DYE barrels are NOT inefficient...in my experience. I'd think that SP would be known as more of a "gas hog". Oh well..

2.) I don't know what Armson Barrels you have been seeing in action, but in my experience, Stealth and Pro-Series barrels (the ones I have the most experience with) are very quiet.

3.) I refer you to http://dyeprecision.com/main.html

Notice there is a Titanium Boomstick, BOOMSTICK, Stainless, and Ultralite. Where are you seeing this?

Anyways, I don't really mind you keeping it up there...it keeps me honest. Thanks for making me look like an idiot..I deserved it. :P

Well I'll be dipped I made a little reading comprehension error, you listed them in a way which I assumed when you said stainless you meant SS boomstick. Since you listed the stainless and not the aluminum I assumed you were naming only boomsticks. You see what I'm saying? I mean they are all boomsticks or variations except for the Stainless so I made a mistake and assumed you meant SS boomstick. You will find that nearly everyone on the forums find dye barrels to be ineffecient. Go into tech and a common question will be why does my 68 3k only get 500 shots. The answer is almost always....because they are using a DYE barrel. All armson barrels are stereotypically loud. I own one. It sounds just like a LAPCO BigShot, which I also own. Now that I think of it, I also own an ultralite, and DYE Ironmen Boomstick, which I use to call an SS boomstick(never do that again). Dye barrels are gas hogs....maybe not as much as the AA or Tear Drop but they're right up there. I see why Shartley likes to debate so much. It's fun...

I will admit that your number 3 point did get me and I was wrong. I just don't know how you think DYE barrels aren't ineffecient and that Armson barrels are not loud. I wear ear plugs when I use mine I bought it because it was called the "Stealth"..little did I know it sounds like a hand cannon.

I have no idea what kind of Armson Stealth barrels you guys are using! I've got one on my backup m98, and that is the quietest barrel I have ever heard shot. Each ball makes a bit of a "whoosh" sound, nothing else. Now, Armson also puts out the Pro line of barrels, which keep the Stealth's rifling, but skimp out on porting. Those are the loud ones, not the Stealths.

the origional armson had no porting and was very loud Dye is over priced and you missed the flatline in you tank part I love mine and as mentioned before you left out the stab.
