Ill remeasure the Barrels cause I am probabley off 2 or 3 inchs on the "7" is actuall 9.5. I was mismeasured. EDIT

I belive in Magic Barrel Elves. I had to do some work at My parants house today so I took the spyder out back into the woods. First I shot the 9.5 inch barrel or whatever it is. It sucked. Id say its good for front but I could not honestly hit anything. I shot 25 Paintballs with it. Some went to the left and some went to the right. SOme went up and some went down.

Next I tried the 16 inch rifled barrel. At 75-100 feet my groupings were 0-5 inchs.

My drop. Id have to say at about 75 feet the balls were droping about a 1-2 feet or more. Less with the rifled barrel maybe a foot. With Stinky Wally VL i-Ballz I had no noticable ball breakage with 100 Balls in the SPyder.

With no kind of motorized feed I could shoot about 3- 5 balls per second.

was the 7 inch ported? if not it still is bad TK says anything shorter than 10" sucks and 10" unported is perfect length. I bet your 16" has about 12" unported which would make it more accurate than the 7"

Be careful about drawing any conclusions from your test, especially since it seems like you're just eyeballing all your measurements. Your paint is going to be the biggest factor. Trying it again with fresh, quality paint that matches the bore of each barrel will most likely provide different results. You might even find that with a good match, Kingman might even make a decent barrel.

The Stock 9.5 inch Barrel is Straight Ported. 2 inchs.

The 16 inch Barrel has a muzzle brake and no porting.

The Balls fit good in the Stock barrel but got stuck in the 16 inch barrel, they were tight. (apon testing for ball fitness.)

The balls went everywhere with the 9.5 inch barrel. It was so funny They were going like 3 feet to the left and 2 feet to the right. One curled up and shot a tree branch and split apart in mid air. They were like little curve Balls.

I think the Straight Barrel rifeling on the 16 helped alot.

Ill remeasure the Barrels cause I am probabley off 2 or 3 inchs on the "7" might be a nine.
