![]() ![]() ![]() New players should make saves when prompted at the beginning of 0.8.3 content. Thanks for reading, and i hope this ramble was of some use.Version 0.8.3a build 27 – This is an alpha build! Returning players should keep their old saves. Depending on a comparison, this could be a con. Price is only about £15 cheaper than the Prommy Barrel. Packaging the best around for tightbores. However, i would guess that this is not far behind, and in terms of performance, will you notice the difference? Looking at detailed shots and reports of the Prommy EG steel barrel, it is clear that this will not be on a par. Considering it was £41 here in the UK and the Black Pythons are £35, i see no reason to buy one of those anymore. The construction is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of a brass barrel, and improves upon Madbulls Aluminium barrels greatly. A few fliers hit the paper itself, only 1 0r 2 shots missed the target after i had sighted myself in.Īll in all, i am impressed with the barrel. Steel Bull - There were two quite clear groups after that were quite small considering i was firing without a rest. A few fliers just missed the top of the paper as well. Stock Barrel - there didnt really appear to be any clear groupings after the two volleys, apart from one really long line that could have been random. So about a 15 FPS increase then, which was pleasing.įrom a distance of 30 meters, i shot 2 volleys ( separated by 15 seconds ) in semi auto at an A4 sized target from the shoulder - i wanted to keep it vaguely skirmish realistic. 20's gave the gun a before and after chrono. It fitted my Bucking and the Prowin Chamber very snugly ( perhaps the bucking a little too snugly - see pic where the bucking is stretched tight over the window) and gave a good air seal.įirstly, using an Xortech X3200 Chronograph and Blaster. In case you dont recognise the Bucking, heres a picture.Ī problem with the Black Pythons was that their outer diameter was quite small, and so unless you used a madbull blue, you often needed some PFTE tape or some floss to make it work correctly. I had a Prowin CNC M4 Hop unit, an H nub and a Deepfire 3 Pronged Hop Rubber. Impressive stuff.īefore i go on, ill let you know which parts i was fitting this barrel into so you can draw comparisons with your own setups. On the Steel Bull, the polish on the inside is very nice indeed, and when i tryed to clean it no dirt would appear - it was polished to a high standard and it came very clean out of the box. ![]() The largest criticism however of the Black Pythons was the coating however - although this got better after the updated process, it still let the barrel down and wasn't great - especially when companies like Lonex could get it right for a lower price. The Barrel is nice and weighty, and cold to the touch - i feel like i would have a very hard time trying to bend or flex it - people complained at how soft and fragile the Version 2 aluminum Black Pythons were. The Stock King Arms barrel had no crowning. The Barrel is also very nicely crowned with a nice deep and very smooth cut. The Hop window seems to be slightly narrower but alot better made and finished - the surface of the barrel is far far smoother than the brass. Thats nice.Ĭonstruction and Comparison to Stock KA Barrel.įrom this distance, you cant tell to much. It also smelt of delicous bubblegum when i removed it from the plastic sheath. Once again, Madbull makes some big claims on the rear of the packet ( "Performance Enhance Guarantee" is written on the front). Given the steel nature of the barrel, i honestly thikn they should package the aluminium barrels in this foam, and the steel ones in the wee plastic covers. LWA sent the item without bubblewrap, and because of the really solid foam packing and tight fit within the plastic, the item was in still perfect condition after being given the standard abuse by ParcelFarce. Seeing as it was made out of very soft aluminium, the barrel could be bent in the post etc fairly easily because of its poor vessel. One of the largest complaints that i heard about the V2 Black Python barrels was that it came in a weak/flexible plastic tube that didnt adequetley protect the barrel. But i know how arnies loves the detail, so lets proceed. Long story Short, its nicely made, fixes some problems people had with the Black Pythons and boosts accuracy. Been tinkering and testing out Madbulls latest offering this morning. ![]()
