they do not give you more accuracy.

there was a study do on this and it proved that rifled barrels do not shoot better then regular barrels.

they actually shoot worse, because even if the outer shell begins to spin, the paint inside the ball does not, therefore it wobbles as it goes through the air, and you lose accuracy

I got a rifled Thunder Pig barrel as my first upgrade and later got an All American.. they shot just the same but the Thunder Pig was quieter, surprisingly.

The Evil Thong Girl had something called "Motion Lotion"...it tasted pretty good, I ate the entire contents of the bottle thingy..-Hell's Oracle

I have a Hammerhead Battlestix 12" Barrel on my A5.  It is extremely accurate if you take the time to size your balls.  It is still very accurate if you don't.  I also have a Flatline.  The barrel I use depends on where I am playing.  Check out the accuaracy videos @ www.hammerheadpaintball.com
