    Posted: 17 July 2004 at 11:14am
hey, sorry for posting on this topic again, im sure it has come up many times before but im still a little confused.  first off i have a few questions

-Do all barrels fit all guns or most guns...etc.
-Is there a difference besides weight with the ceramic/composite and metal barrels
-Which company puts out the best barrel in your opinion
-What is better, 12" or 14"

alright well here is what im looking at getting currently (no particular order, also i am getting the tippmann a-5)

-32 degrees Carbon Fiber 12"
-Smart Parts tear drop 12"
-Dye Iron man Boomstick 12"

also if you could, could you post some of the better barrels for both 12" and 14"

If i where you i would look at lapco Bigshot, Microshot,and Autosiript. Along with J&J cermica.

also if you could, could you post some of the better barrels for both 12" and 14"

If you have the money get some type of kit. Evil freack ect..

Lapco BigShot
Lapco Microshot
Lapco Autosiript

J&J Cermica
TearDrop

I would get it 12in.

Well most 2 piece barrels are guled together which means that you cant take them apart. But there are other 2piece barrels out there where you can buy different backs and fronts like the freck,evil pipe,empire ect..

But make sure you know alot about the barrel befor you buy it. Check www.pbreivew.com thoses are people that have bought those products and ect.

Not a good idea to make fun of a mod. Anyways go with the 12in lapco Bigshot, and search next time

 Ehh. Mods aren't anything very special. Like hall monitors at a school. ANyway, the guy had many specific questions that would have taken hours to search. He explained it on his post.

14" dye boomstick/ultralite, lapco bigshot 12", CP one-piece 14", and flatline are all great performing barrels. the j&j ceramic isnt that special just cuz its self cleaning...ive seen and shot more accurate barrels trust me dont get the j&j ceramic.

good luck!

lol thanks hashi and everyone else.  and stiffler what makes the j&j not so great?  i read over like 50 reviews explaning how they love it and read up on it and it sounds great to me.  not like digging at you, just curious why you think that way?  anyway no offense to you or anyone else agaisnt the ceramic, but i know im going with that.  i also have a ? about it, ive read some people call it ugly and all, could you spray paint or use some other type of paint on the exterior of a barrel if you wanted to?


hey lol another question, sorry i would post a new topic but it would seem like a waste.  i read on the details for d-day (i know it passed) you can have flashlights.  im sure there are but havent been able to find any, but what im looking for is a holder/clamp for a flashlight where you can put on your marker or where the barrel connects to the marker.  could someone tell me if this is out there and if so supply a link?

-Do all barrels fit all guns or most guns...etc. No, they make barrels with different thread sizes to fit different guns.
-Is there a difference besides weight with the ceramic/composite and metal barrels There is a difference in scratch resisitance. I think metal wold be the strongest.
-Which company puts out the best barrel in your opinion Tippmann puts out the Flatline which is the BEST barrel for woodsball but theri other barrels stink as far as I know (not sure about the new Werks thing) Unless you play speedbal lget the Flatline.
-What is better, 12" or 14"

It's all about preference.

alright well here is what im looking at getting currently (no particular order, also i am getting the tippmann a-5)

-32 degrees Carbon Fiber 12"
-Smart Parts tear drop 12"
-Dye Iron man Boomstick 12"

also if you could, could you post some of the better barrels for both 12" and 14"

Flatline
Lapco Bigshot
Stiffi
32* Whisper
Tear drop

The bomstick is way over rated. You'll get the same range and accuracy with the Lapco Bigshot.

I need to find smaller pictures for my profile.
