I have and do use one, it IS a Hammerhead BangStikxx

I will not use another setup

ALSO they will accept ALL Hammerhead backs, so if you want to use on your cocker or your 98, just order the backs.

Thanks much. Saw the new Straightline on your site. Is it available yet?

That's for sure! I used a .682 insert with my latest batch of Visible Impact today. No probs.

Thanks again Eric,
I know the HH products are top quality, and my guess is that the Straightline will shoot every bit as good as the advertising says. I just wish they had a shorter version like 10 or 12 inch. Been shooting my Freak for years but I may be ready to step up to HH or maybe PPS brass. (I will admit I like the idea of the muzzle end being "sized" like the breech end.) However, the consensus seems to indicate the HH is a slight bit more accurate with proper paint/sizer match up. Still thinking about it.

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

How about a BRASS Hammerhead! Ha! If brass is supposed to offer a better surface (more slippery?) as has been suggested in previous posts, than a brass HH would be great! Just thinking out loud, LOL

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

AHHHHH!!!! tons of long posts...took me like an hour to read them all......i vote we make a twisted "Sideline" barrel it takes the magnus and gyroscopic and combines them in a way....uses the awesome power of backspin.....but puts it to work spinning the ball horizontally (if anyone ever makes one of these...i get one for free because of the idea Muahahaha!

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

^^ it's called turning an apex 90* and getting the same effect. It's known as a corner shot.
