Hey I was wondering if any body has any experience with a 21" rifled barrel for the tippmann a-5? If you do are they any good if not what type of a barrel should I get other than a flatline?

wow. rifling doesnt help paintballs at all. nore does length. if you want a good, cheap, reliable barrel, i suggest a lapco bigshot or a j&j ceramic. probably about 14". all you need is about 8" to accelerate the paintball, and a few more inches to guide it, say 4-6". anything past just requires more gas to drive the ball down the barrel, and doesnt help accuracy. so it just wastes air. id suggest hitting the deck to avoid "anti sniper fireballs" Edited by DeTrevni - 09 May 2006 at 5:56pm |

doesnt the rifling put more spin on the ball and make it shoot farther? and beside I can get this barrel for less or the same as a 14" barrel |

Not worth it. 14" is long enough.

I will verbally assault anyone with a 21 inch barrel. Luckilly, no one around here is stupid enough to use them. Lapco Bigshot ftw. |

I havent got my stock barrel off yet and I dont have the new

A 21" Rifled Barrel will not make the marker more accurate. Rifling has no effect on paintballs, due to their liquid fill. A 21" barrel will actually cause gas waste, and maybe even decreased accuracy due to friction. But if you want to waste your moeny, go ahead. |

Its physics. The ball accelerates down the barrel for the fisrt 8 inches or so. After that, the friction in the barrel slows the ball down. Therefore extra gas is needed to keep the ball moving down the barrel at field speeds. This is why when you change from a 8" to a 14" barrel of the same brand, the marker may need chronoed again. |

friend of mine has a 21 inch barrel. it doesnt waste gas. or lose accuracy. it is a little more accurate then the 16". but thats about it. other then it makes yr gun look awkward. 21" barrels take speed off the paintball. thats just about the only negative side to them. go with a 16 " if you want a longer barrel they're a little more accurate then the 14's but on the other hand 14" barrels are optimum for everything ( speed/accuracy ). smatr parts, lapko, J&J all make great barrels. do your research
