The J&J ceramic is good, the Lapco big shot is a good barrel too.

Flaltine rules but there is no best barrel for all of those things. Flaltine has best range, bigshot is them ost accurate, whisper is the quietest.
I need to find smaller pictures for my profile.

Who cares how quiet your barrel is.  If you want distance then you have to get the Flatline.  The Flatline is the only barrel that adds distance to your shot.  It also has good accuracy.  In my opinion, the Lapco Bigshot has better accuracy but the Flatline adds both to your shot.

i know this sounds **edited** but if u have a A-5 get a teardrop it makes any ball hurt real bad ( hint hint "tear drop") but the flat line is the only barrel that adds range (i have both barrels)
I need to read the rules on sig and avatar sizes.

I have no idea why a Lapco Bigshot would be better than a J&J Ceramic.
If I had a choice, between the two, I would choose the J&J Ceramic.

Well, duh! I'd choose accuracy over plus distance any day. Just get the Bigshot and trust me, you won't regret it!!!

you are making an excellent choice  may i suggest the 14 inch bead blasted model   the dull paint job makes it more flush with the dull black of a tippmann   and i dont care about the physics or w.e   i have more distance with this barrel than i did with my stock one    the paintballs go farther  so  w/e

Allow me to correct myself but the Flaltine is only slightly less accurate than the Bigshot at the bigshots maximum range. The Flatline will still be going for much farther.

There is no best barrel. "best barrel" would probabaly be any barrel matched up with good paint and the skill of the player using it.

*Just my 2 cents worth. Have a great day.

Bighsot is 50% cheaper than the flatline and shoots just as accurate if nto better but not quite as far, by the time a ball from the flatline goes farther than a ball from another barrel its going so slow you can just dodge it
Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I have stayed alive.
