all i want to know is what is the best barrel for long range  shooting in woodsball, and  can  be used in semi-auto shots(7-12 bps) wen desired.

also easy to clean and doesnt burst many balls

Flatline is the only "far shooting" barrel that I trust. It is kinda hard to clean, and it is kinda picky on paint, so....

The decision is yours.

Flatline is the only further shooting barrel. Shoots good at any ROF, accuracy is usualy great, but depends on the paint. Kind of is hard to clean compared to traditional barrels.

You might still look into a J&J, though.

If you want the most accurate barrel for longer rangers, I would recommend a 12" barrel with minimal porting.

The LAPCO Bigshot is awesome, and is my recommendation. The 12" beadblasted model looks like it was made for a Tippmann, IMHO. You won't be disappointed or missing out on anything with the LAPCO Bigshot....12", beadblasted model.

*Edit* I also agree with Large Unit, the Custom products one-piece barrels are very nice. And affordable too.

I, personally would take any advantage possible. However, i dont like the look of the apex. But if an apex barrel is cheating, and i cheating with a flatline? if i have a q loader and a flatline, i can rotate the gun upside down or to the side, and accomplish what BT was trying to do. Am i cheating now?

I got a evil driver barrel and it works great with any paint. It also cleans itself when theres a break but breaks dont happen often.

good point....  well, i guess not, but what BT is advertising is it will curve to almost a 90 degree angle.....  i myself will never consider buying one, but i don't think i'll light someone up for having one either....  i was kinda tired whenever i said that srry.  i used to have an A-5 with flatline, and it never really curved that much when tilted.  i just think it's a little extreme to make a barrel that will do that.  I am mostly a stock class player so i like to have a disadvantage.  i can see your point tho.

now what is better the big shot or the cp one piece becuase those seems to be accurate at long ranges and break less ball and easier to clean than the flatline...(im never gonna buy an apex becuase who has time to adjust it and train until u get it right while waisting paint....it seems unreasonable to get an apex)...
