hey i got a upgraded 68 mag and i have a jj barrel and it is a nice barrel but every now and then ill get a ball with some spin on it and will swerve like a monkey......... and i was curious about the riffled barrels they got out now and if there any good and would be worth investing in (the rifleing is straight not curved like a actualy gun)

I have only tested one rifled barrel (can't remember its' name; not common at all, pricey at 150$) and it wasn't all that much better than my Lapco Bigshot. Your mileage may vary.

There is a small company based out of Florida and is only big in North Texas right now and they sell Hammerhead barrels, It is rifled after R&D for the government, I've seen them in action and they are the most accurate I've seen. Check them out at Hammerhead Paintball

Rifled barrels don't do anything for paintballs, because you can't get the liquid to spin with the shell. It's like turning a glass of water. It's just a gimmick.

Ive personally seen them work, and why would the government fund them if they didn't work?

apparantly because it is under the options for fins
I would get .686 .688 .690 if you have the money, but I'm not sure, can anyone with a freak or such tell the most used sizes did you notice the barrel lenghts 12.5'' they used to also make 8s'' I believe Edited by MajorBluff |

go with teh 12 inch the ball needs atleast 8 inches to stabalize and for speedball/woodsball 12 inch is most likely the best...
