	The J&J ceramic s2 is just the newer version of the standard J&J ceramics. It looks like it has more porting and the looks are definitely different. The Lapco Snap Shot is a two peice barrel that would allow you to change the length of your barrel by changing tips. This is a nice feature but it seems that it is unnecessary. The Lapco Bigshot is a more fairly priced barrel at $50 as opposed to $100. The ceramics are slightly cheaper than the Bigshot but they are less resistant to scratching. Check out reviews on pbreview.com. S2: http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/3765/ Snapshot: http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/2752/ Bigshot: http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/240/ I personally use the bigshot on my 98 Custom and have a friend that uses one on his A5 and they have performed flawlessly as of yet. They are extremely accurate and light scratches are not noticeable. The J&J is very accurate as well.

	Comes down to prefference mainly. The J&J is a lil quieter. Lapco is louder. Both are amazing barrels. I use J&J and love it.
