I use one piece unitec barrels as mentioned in the thread that Morph has posted (namely as they came standard with my marker), they are fairly cheap to get hold of and do a great job while not being loud. I prefer one piece rather than inserts as the bore goes all the way to the tip. Warped gear are currently selling them for around £22 (£5 extra for the back if you need one) even if you went for 3 barrels, say bore .693 .689 and a .685 (which could cover most paint) and just one back to fit them it would come to around £70 but you get the bore all the way down the barrel so i would say its worth it. Plus your not forced to get all the barrels at the same time meaning you could spread the cost if needed.

i use a deadlwind fibur barrel on my etek 4 and on my demon before that, all depends on the paint your using as after the first 8 incehs of any barrek you'll then start to loose power behind the ball, ive onli ever had two breaks in god know how many cases through it and that was onli cause i forgot to put an insert in lol (the exceptions being crap clear paint) found that with the unitce barrels on my demon if it wasnt quite right bore size then used to get balls stop halfway down the barrel once the air behind could escape through the perforations, personally still prefer a barrel with inserts weather it be a CF deadlywind or freak back/front setup. (plus the deadlywind has like no weight to it lol

sweet, ive also bin given a hush bolt but do i need any other upgrades to use this ? They work fine without any mods, but the hush bolt makes it a bit more efficient, with that and a good paint to barrel match it should be quite consistent. Spend any spare cash on paint!

speaking of efficientcy i did an efficency test on my etek4 last weekend, 3k fill on a 1.5l tank with a myth2 reg, firing at 250ish fps(not changed it since copehill) got through a hopper(rotor) and 11pods(locklids) so worked out at about 1920 balls (rotor =160 + each locklid 160) and had half a K of air left, mighty chuffed with it
