Does the J&J really clean itself better than any other barrel, because I was told the bigshot is more acc. and I think I would rather have that, thAN THE J&J  so which is better and why, let say ther are the same price.

I would get the bigshot out of the two. Yes the J&J cleans itself out, but it takes about 3-5 shots. The bigshot is more accurate. Mostly because it accepts more types of paint. Like you, I'd rather take accuracy. Just carry a sqeeugie with you on the field and you're set.

the J&J is a good barrel, the the bigshot is better, just bring a swab with you, a "self-cleaning" barrel isn't that important.

Yes the J&J cleans it self out and i great with all the paint i tried so far (Mostly feild stuff).  It is also very accurate more so than my Smartparts Progressive i used to have (Same as tear drop) on my 98c. 

I dont think there will be a noticable differance in accuracy between the bigshot or the J&J so in my minde the J&J is a better bang for your $.

Also if it means anything to you (Dont to me) the J&J is also ALOT quieter than the Bigshot.

I would get neither. My cousin has a dye boomstick and the thing is the 'sheet'. Its so accurate, Im afraid of him. The boomstick is more but it is the best barrel out there.

But if your on a budget I heard that the J&J is a better choice.

I'm going to the darkside...

i have a boomy also, im gonna say its the best barrel out there (besides the barrel kits) but it definately isn't worth what its selling for right now, I got mine for $79 a couple years back. I see them seeling for over $100 nowadays.
