I can't speak for the Hammerhead barrels but, Armson rifled barrels are designed so that they would spin a ball counter-clockwise (when viewed from the breech end of the barrel). So, imagine what happens when the first strike leaves the barrel spinning counter-clockwise and the fins want to make it spin clockwise in the air.... Nothing useful.

Another thing to consider, First Strike rounds are not as flexible as a normal paintball. If the inner bore of the rifled barrel is smaller than the first strike, the compression will most likely destroy the ball in the barrel. My armson barrel is .689+ so, the first strike moves through it without any problem- It slides through and doesn't spin at all.


As a result of its sliding and not spinning, is there any outcome (+/-) on its trajectory or accuracy as a result?

How come it seems like almost everything we find out is like a repeat of Tom Kayes work? i personally find it hilarious

I haven't fired them and at this point, I'm not going to waste ammo on it but, my guess is that they will not perform any better than a smoothbore barrel and they'll be less efficient due to not making a good seal.
