    SLY Equipment/ Barrels

    Anybody heard of them before? Looks like they have some pretty slick barrels out. Take a look:

    Yeah, I clicked the banner on PBN too. They do look very very sharp, and you have to love carbon fiber. As for the whole science behind their claims, such as the tapered barrel, I have no clue.

    Man, that gray to red, to carbon fiber fade is stunning.

        I checked that out earlier after seeing the banner ad at PBN. I like their tech page, with such gems as:

        "TAPERED bore allows paintballs to 'float' in barrel undisturbed for reduced drag and improved accuracy. Traditional stepped bores create excess turbulence due to sudden pressure changes."

        and

        "Nano Vapor Deposition (NVD) in the bore allows SLY to engineer the surface at the molecular level to reduce drag"

        Uh huh. They've figured out how to manipulate carbon fiber at the molecular level, yet somehow they can afford to sell this barrel for only $90. Whatever.

        For more goodness from their website, check out the downloads link. You can get an online sticker sheet as a PDF.

        Think about it.

                    looks to me like $30 per back, or $90 per set of 4, and $90 for the front.
                    Anyone got the inside scoop on these? any good? I'd like to hear some reviews. I want to know how it compares to a stiffi.
                    you know you play this game too much when the neighbors stop fixing their broken windows...

                      workie

                      got it to work by typing the link in the address bar... not sure what the deal with that was. the barrels look nice, but I cant find any reviews or anyone that claims to shoot them

                            It's actually kinda of interesting that they'd go a gradual step route rather than a definate step for their bore. Similarly their "NVD" is most likely just their fancy way of saying, "We use some flavor of plasma deopsition coating on our barrels" which is an entirely possible process.

                            I'd never buy one, but they do look kinda nice.

                              $90 for the black front
                              $100 for the pro or camo front
                              $90 for the 4 pack of backs, black or "titanium"
                              $30 for single .689 back
                              spyder, cocker, angel, shocker, impulse, A-5, or 98 threading
