I want a good barrel for my tippmann A-5 ( all stock ) for woodsball. I want the best barrel for accuricy but i need it to drive power. should i get a flatline or a 14-16'' sniper barrel from tippmann? and is longer better? Last question is flatline barrel a lot more accuret then the stock A-5 barrel? Thanks a lot for helping :)

Barrel length is really a preferences thing. Basically anything between 8  and 14 inches. Barrel length doesnt really change your range at all, so buying a 21" barrel isnt going to do you any good, most anything after 14 inches just starts slowing down the ball.

I dont own a flatline but have heard them and since they are unported they are loud. Not much you can do about that with them, the distance is greater, but I think you loose out on a bit of accuracy. Again its a preferences thing.

I have a 14" Lapco bigshot, its loud and a tad long but its damn good quality and accurate. J&J make good barrels that are fairly cheap as well, accurate and quiet. All Americans from Smart parts are also a good barrel.

Oh and just about any other barrel is more accurate than the stock A5  barrel.
People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things.
