Choose which barrel, I need another, mainly for speedball, from these 4 choices which would be best for accuracy. I dont care how loud/quiet it is.

Lapco Bigshot 12"

Ultralight is great, but if you have some cash get a kit.

That's the only color ceramics come in. They aren't available in grey anymore. Also, stay away from anything Smart Parts. The DYE Ultralight is a great barrel. Get that if you're looking to spend the money in that price range. If not, the Bigshot and J&J Ceramic barrels are great. The J&J actually matches the finish of a Tippmann quite nice.

I use an Ultralight and I love it. For some reason it's loud, but I think that has more to do with my gun messing up than the barrel. Its pretty accurate, and I highly recommend Marballizers for use with the Ultralight- they match perfectly, and shoot like a dream.

If you have the $$$, get the Freak. If not, pick up the All-American, you won't regret it...

Not really.  Most paintballs aren't the exact same bore size every time you buy them.

Is the Ultralight any more accurate then the bigshot. I have money but I don't really want to spend 150$ CDN on a barrel.

this is a tuffy...if you're short on money go with the bigshot...if you have money but rn't willing to spend a whole bunch on a barrel right now go with the ultralite...if you have money and you're going all out then get the freak kit.

good luck!
