    Posted: 29 August 2005 at 11:24am

OK...I need some help from the "Subject Matter Experts".  I have an A5 and I'm running compressed air.  Cost not being an issue, what is the most accurate barrel or barrel system I can get???

P.S.  I have a FL and although it shoots flat and far, it is not very accurate.

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

From what I hear a Boomstick, Freak kit, Empire kit, and that's all I know for the higher end ones.

Please for the love of god don't get a flatline.

All barrells are accurate as long as the bore size of paint is the same as the barrell

I personaly reccomend the Lapco bigshot 8.5" barrell

remember its not the length of the barrell in paintballing that determines the accuracy.

i hope i helped

Like these other guys said, its all how well the ball fits in the barrel.

I personly like the CP 2 piece barrel system.  I like the way it looks and you can get it in several differnt lengths and dang near any color you want.

When it comes down to a barrel pick a decent barrel system nothing too cheap but not over the top expensive either, and choose the one you think looks the best on your gun.

flatline very accurate at a distance if you can find the right paint. i would suggest using marballizer. its expensive and if your running hpa you should get great peformance.

P.S. what kind of paintballs are you using for flatline, or you might fiddle with your velocity a little and see which shoots best, works best with 275-285fps for me.
