J&J or LAPCO ?

Get a J&J. They are awesome barrels. I did find that Elite's are too big for the barrel so they break. If you avoid that paint, the J&J is the way to go.

It will not shoot farther than the J&J, they have the same range.

I've played with them both, and I'd have to say the Bigshot is slightly more accurate. Go with it.

I second that !!! 

Myself from another thread wrote: The Lapco Bigshot shoots as far as any ordinary barrel would, but the accuracy is amazing. You can hit anything within range with just 1-2 shots. One time when I was just test firing my gun, it took me 2 shots to get a ball through a 2" gap between the limbs of a tree, and I was even using bad paint. Whenever I play, I use my Bigshot over my Flatline.

I love the Bigshot. Most accurate thing I've ever seen. Works well even with old paint, and it's always clean.

Care to explain what you mean by that?

Physics tells us 2 balls shot at the same velocity will go the same distance, no matter what barrel is used. So I hope thats not what your talking about.

If your talking about the range at when it will break, Both paintballs will be going the same speed at a given time, so that doesnt work either.

In that case... Every barrels "effective range" is the same.

Except for the flatline and apex.

Does anyone have or used both barrels? I don't care about range. I just want to know why one would be better than the other. my main reason is i'm sick of getting barrel break's in my werk's! I know barrel breaks will always happen. I also know better paint to barrel match will help this problem. But other than what wal-mart or D's sporting good's has to offer i'm out of luck! I just want to know which one is better for the paint I have access to. Also can anyone give me J&J's website?

That's up to you! Not possible to say! All paint is different! Also not possible! A dirty barrel is a dirty barrel!

That is not alwas true. If you compare the flatline or Apex barrel to a standard straight barrel, and shoot them both at the same velocity, they will not both go the same distance. The flatline or Apex barrel will surpass the distance.

Flatline and apex are exceptions, everyone knows that, i didnt think it needed to be said.
