They are great for front play on a short field, which is pretty much what about 1/3 of all players run into these days. The people at Animal Paintball use them religiously at times, particularly those playing as Action Figures. Check them out at
www.animalpaintball.com. Not only do they have them in stock and for a very good price, but they're cool people as well.
What I'm similarly wondering is if anyone has shot the Aardvark Snort barrel. Anyone? I'm thinking about getting one to add to my collection of unusual barrels.
