    Haven't shot a Pipe but I have two Freak sets. Quiet, very light (with the aluminum back) and reasonably accurate. I also have a Sanchez SM-1. It's a bit heavy compared to the Freak but it shoots darts and not everyone else has one.

          Having owned both a Freak kit an Pipe kit I would go with the pipe.

          The Pipe honestly does shoot out breaks well and is accurate. The freak kit never really impressed me.

          Drawbacks are that if you play in the woods or scenario I guess it would be considered a loud barrel. Also the tip is thin and will bend if you slide wrong.

              I have had a 14 inch Pipe kit for about 3 months and I have to say I love it. The tip feels like it will cut you or something, but it hasnt bent on me and ive had some interesting slides with it. As far as shooting, the barrel breaks which I do have are cleaned out in at max 5 shots which by the time I stopped shooting to swab it, the barrel was clean enough to definately finish the game.

                  Tolerances are better. Don't hold me to this, I heard somewhere that the Freak's are bored BEFORE anno... Which constitutes a bad thing.

                  Myself, I used to shoot a Freak on my main gun... It's quiet, but it seemed to make balls hook on my RT. Works great on my classic, Everyone compliments it on how quiet it is.

                  Then I tried a pipe. Fun, but the inserts are pretty 'stepped...' And only 5 of them...

                  Now I shoot a Scepter on my main gun. It's nice, 6 inserts although you're limited on bore size, they each only differ by like .002, If I do recall (At school so I can't look at them) So if you shoot large paint you might have trouble finding a large enough bore.

                  It is by far the nicest of the bunch. Handle + SOFT carrying case = Fun.

                    On my stainless freak kit I intentionally broke a ball in the back of the insert, left the shell and all the paint there, then fired through it - in about ten shots I was back to shooting reasonably straight - they seem to clean out better than aluminum.
