      That makes me worry now, because I just ordered one last night.

      Not that I would ever beat it on a table or anything for that matter.

          I have a 14" stiffi and my girl luvs me for it...

          It is quite as hell and very accurate. I've only shot it in the backyard, but I'll let you know how it performs this weekend in an actual game scenario...

            I wouldn't worry at all, unless it starts happening a lot. I have worked with cf before. It is possible to screw up the weaves or something to make it somewhat weak here and there. Looks like those porting they did might have cause some stress along the outside there.

                  haha. O man, I've seen a few broken barrels, mostly the older dye boomsticks. My friend cracked one sliding into a bunker.

                    i saw a Powerlyte barrel snap in half at the point where the front screws into the back, that was freaky and cool at the same time

                      On the other hand, how often are you going to repeatedly beat your barrels against a rock or table?

                      Stiffi's are great barrels. Surprisingly forgiving on paint sizes, shoot clean quickly if you get a break, and are amazingly quiet, even more quiet than my JJ's. In our impromptu tests at the shop, we shot a 'Cocker with and without (screwed in a JJ 12") a Stiffi. The backblock made more noise than the gun did firing. We then did the same with my Emag, and the Stiffi was definately quieter.

                      They also weigh less than 2oz! I plan on getting one or two.

                          Man, I won't ever buy one just because of the stupid adds where it shows a hot girl holding the barrel and it says "Do you have a stiffi yet?" To me that says if you can't make a product that works well, design adds that make people look twice.

                              I agree with army on the quiet factor, i shoot one on a matrix, and its so damn quiet, just a puff puff puff... and i have beaten it on the co2 bulk tanks repeatedly, never at the tip, i knew better then that :) (its the free one they give to store owners to introduce the product anyway) Im definitely going to work my way towards a 5 stiffi barrel set, despite the cost, thats how much of a believer they made me.
