Ramrod barrel

[automeister]

So I would like to find a ramrod barrel but have not sourced one. I have seemed to come to the consensus that many in the community think that they are not effective. I am not sure if I fully grasp what the engineers had intended by its design. Is it truly not effective? Has anyone had any success with one? Either way I still want one

It's a gimmick.

Something to designed by someone (not engineers) to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

The pet rock of paintball.

haha what was the problem they were trying to address?

Selling more markers and barrels...

Self cleaning barrel... But like the ads showed leaves and twigs sticking out of the rods not paint

[automeister]

Are they horribly inaccurate?

[Ecapnation]

At best it's a three inch barrel with a big. muzzle break

Don't let them dissuade to you! They just want to keep the ramrod a secret and horde them all to themselves. You want a ramrod, follow you dream and go for it!!!

I've had one since my then crossfire rep handed me one at IAO 2001 lol

HAHAHA is there a movement to keep these things in only a few hands

It's not a movement, just a reflection of how few actually sold.. because it was an obviously dumb idea. Even for the shameless marketing of the 90's, this one was an obvious stretch. I bet the manufacturer sat on a few dusty, unsold pallets of these, and they eventually ended up in a landfill.

The lack of money in their pockets
