New Barrel? AMAZING!

[irbodden]

There is a new barrel that adjusts bores byitself AS your fire. Its called the Slayer SA barrel from Paintballonline.com, AMAZING. Anyone have any idea how good it is? Wowzers!

Smells like elves

I don't know about this. I'm going to need more info before believing it's the next big new thing, and the fact that it's from core doesn't help my opinion. I had a pair of gloves from them, and the dye came out onto my hands when I sweated. I'd end the day and my hands would look like I'd used a sharpie marker on them. Maybe I got one from a bad batch, but I don't trust 'em. Anybody have one?

When I first the post I thought it was a joke. They ain't joking. It looks like only the first inch or so of the barrel is adjustable. After that it is probably a too-big-barrel. Here is the description and a picture.


The new Core Pro Series Slayer SA Barrel has a unique bearing design within the barrel. There are eight separate bearings that carefully grip the sides of a paintball. The bearing system is self adjusting so there is no need to worry about what size paint you have. Simply put, perfect barrel to paint match every time you play. The best part is that there are no inserts to mess around with. The eight different bearings act like an insert and are permanently attached to the barrel. The design is truly awesome.

Let's not forget that the barrel shoots like a dream. Line up your target, pull the trigger, and down it goes.

It seems to me like a glorified ball detent. It doesn't change the bore size of the barrel (except in that small section). Even then I don't see how they seal around those bearings. It seems overrated and innefficent. I, however, have not tried it.

Agreed. But the principle is interesting...

give it a chance it sounds cool

and i doubt i rusts

if it works it could save a lot of time and money on the stupid freak it system

maybe they could come out with one that has it at the end like 4inchs of barings that would be cool!

Sweet Concept! Hopefully it works!

Manike, IMO, it would work as a barrel how its designed. Thats a good 3 inches of adjustable bore or so, my mag barrel is only 4.

If it really could change bore while being fired, its is THE best.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but if you have a close look at that barrel in the photo, which appears to be for an Angel, note that the ball will travel over an inch and a half, when fired, before it even reaches the "bearings"?

I'm not entirely sure I'd want a barrel with a loose bore for 2", an inch of floating, variable bore made up of sections, then back to another 9" of loose bore again.

Hmmm....

Who makes it?

[FooTemps]

CORE makes the barrel...

[X-Plosive]

the bearings aren't more than an inch long and are they held together by black nitrile o-rings? It reminds me of the JT speedpod in some ways.
