product review Throughout the entire day of play on a breezy Fall day with temperatures in the sixties and a cloudy sky, the Crossover XVR kept up with anything shooting back at it, did so at very high rates of fire and simply refused to chop a single ball. No paintballs broke in the barrel either, and that Tippmann two-piece barrel performed admirably, not only keeping paintballs on target but doing so very quietly thanks to its plethora of porting. Players will certainly enjoy the ability to switch to an Autococker threaded barrel and use whatever they’d like, however. Finally, the XVR even proved to deliver solid air efficiency, as I shot nearly a half a hopper of paintballs at the chronograph, another full hopper and five 180-round Pinokio pods on the field and walked off with plenty of air still in the 68 cubic inch bottle. 148 PAINTBAL
