About 13 years ago when I first started playing, my father and I both had 98 customs (as well as every other player at the time in my area.) The first upgrade I wanted was a new barrel. Being young and dumb and knowing that the bigger the price tag the better the item was I purchased a Dye Ultralite. My dad on the other hand went down to a local shop and picked up some funny cartoon pig barrel. It wasn’t Smart Parts or Dye so I knew it couldn’t be any good. After one game I sold that Ultralite and every time my dad couldn’t make it to a game I stole his Thunder Pig barrel.
I upgraded my gun and no longer could use the Thunder Pig. I see them here and there for Spyders and Stingrays, But it wasn’t until just recently that the good old Thunder Pig name was brought up in a conversation that got me thinking. After a quick Ebay search, I found some that were autococker threaded, for only $10 with free shipping. Even if it sucked it was worth it just in memories. I then sent it to Xmagterror who was able to freak bore it for me.
I was finally able to shoot it last Saturday.
The best damn barrel I have ever shot. I was able to snap shoot my way out of so many tight spots were I felt out gunned. I was able to shoot out players with one shot. It was amazing.
On a side note Batteries Plus sucks.
