How good is the rap4 tactical rifled barrel? Would anyone recommend it. What are some other good barrels. If anyone knows any please give me a link. Thanks! Edited by rhino4195 - 15 April 2008 at 9:43pm |

Rifling has never* been proven to provide do anything in a paintball game other than exacerbate the effect of barrel breaks and make the barrel harder to clean,
*Testing done on Armson rifled barrels quite a few years ago indicated a slight increase in efficiency. However, stop motion photography proved than spin was not being imparted to the ball by the rifling. The conclusion was that this specific rifling made for a better ball to bore fit. |

The same barrels that are good for speedball are the ones that are good for scenario. How much are you willing to spend on a barrel? The J&J ceramic line barrels are pretty good and you can go all the way up to three piece barrels. If by scenario you mean you want it to look like a real gun barrel, just paint any barrel black. |
