   I'd get the Bigshot. when i wanted to buy a barrel i tried out 4 different barrels at my proshop on my custom. the twister,bigshot,J&Jceramic,and the whisper barrel. i found out that the bigshot was really loud, the ceramic and whisper and twister were fairly quiet, the whisper barrel sucked at accuracy, ceramic was quiet and accurate(just an all aroound nice barrel) and the twister was a lil unaccurate. the bigshot and ceramic were the most accurate of all them. just facts according to my tests.

Most barrels are the same. Of the two most people use the Bigshot.
You should get something at least 10inches, 12inches is even better.

I would get the bigshot, just because so many people who have/have used them, really like them. They are affordable and reliable. In choosing a barrel though, it's mainly preference.

Buy the bigshot, but get at least a 10" one.  Some length is needed for the paintball to achieve maximum stabilization and therefore more accuracy.

 what are u looking for in the barrel. both are good barrels it just depends on what ur plans are for it as to which barrels u should buy. is it for speed or woods. for speed i would go with the twister. for woods i would go with a longer bigshot.
