So here's a weird one. I had a ChronoBarrel for a while. It worked great. I used to be able to test it by dropping darts down the barrel, or just sticking my finger in the opening to break the beam. Then after a month it simply stopped working.

I waited, and when I saw the price drop, I ordered another one. Lo and behold, the new one won't register a shot when I stick my finger in the barrel either. So I attached it to an old Stryfe, took a few shots, and it seems to be working fine.

Then I took my old one, attached it to the same Stryfe, and it also seems to be working fine. So I guess the ChronoBarrel doesn't recognize slow moving objects like fingers and dropped darts. But at one point it did. Strange !

Two additional things: That Stryfe I used for testing shoots about 110 FPS, so it's good to know the ChronoBarrel registers speeds above the stock 70+ FPS ranges. I was worried that it wouldn't work with upgraded blasters. No idea what the top-end is.

Second, the ChronoBarrel has dropped to $8.42 at. So if you've ever thought about getting a chrono, this is a really great opportinuty.
