I have a Boomy and I love it. It hardly ever breaks paint in it and its crazy accurate. The only thing I don't like about it is its weight, its a little heavy but you don't really notice it. Bigshots are good barrels too. Light, very accurate and a lot cheaper than the Boomstick. If you don't mind spending the extra cash, I'd say get a Boomstick, but the Bigshot is almost just as good and is almost half the price. Hope that helps.

Bigshot!

Half the price

Gloss or Bead Blasted finish

Great Performance

To be honest I don't think the boomstick would differ much from the bigshot.

Did I mention Half the price?

My friend went into our local paintball shop and said he wanted the best barrel as far as accuracy for the A5, they asked him if he wanted "the best for the money?"... he said no, and he bought the boomstick for $130 (ouch)...

It is insanely accurate though... I'm envious..

Look, both are good barrels, You won't be unhappy with either.  If your setting you gun up for hte one shot kill, the boomstick is just a little bit better.  You get what you pay for.  But most people can't tell a huge difference...so...both are great choices.

Boomstick and the Bigshot, of same lengths, will give the exact same performance. Thing is, the boomstick is overpriced.
I need to find smaller pictures for my profile.

Neither in my opinion, but the lapco is cheaper. If you want the best accuracy go for the Armson Stealth. My friend owns one and that thing makes a PB marker shoot like rifle. Once I get the cash, I am going to buy one.

Good luck!
