Try this one, its rifled, and accurate as any other barrel, except a flatline  http://www.endgameinc.com/Paintball-Products/Default.asp

dont use a pipe cutter because it will form a lip around the inside of the barrel. if you have access to a lathe use it. if not use a hacksaw(carefully) then clean and square the cut with a fine mill file. just make sure there arent any burrs around the inside of the barrel

i did this to mine. actually right behind the porting is were i cut it off. its loud and i love it. and if you have never tried it you have no idea how accurate it can be. if you do it right it will be more accurate than the stock barrel because there are less defects for the paintball to travel through. and if you have any doubts a short barrel can be accurate take a nelspot007 for example. it can shoot a quarter off a tree at 50 feet away with a 4" barrel. the cut off barrel will NOT compare w/ a freak but it is an improvement. try it its worth it

The only difference from the 18" is the noise level. My short barrel is pretty loud but will shoot about as accurate as a Freak-All American at thirty-forty feet which is better than decent. Of course you need a good bore size match between your barrel and paint. I find C.O.R.E. and PMI work the best. However, Do not use diablo's.

No it isn't.

Whoa! If you meant that to "BigGun", you have no idea who you're talking to. BigGun worked in machinery shop for quite awhile and he was pretty good. So, please make sure you wash your feet because I'm putting them in your mouth .

LOL, schoolgirls?!? Who does this guy think he is??? Whatever, CGO out…..

P.s. Understand, I have no problems with your stock-barrel improvements, but don’t flame my friends.

Actually, a longer barrel WILL use more air, as you'll have to increase your gas flow to get the velocity up from a shorter barrel. It takes more pressure to fire the paintball down the barrel and get it to reach the desired fps due to friction. The more barrel, the more air.

Whatever....When the gun shoots, it uses the same amount of air every time. A longer barrel doesn't use more air.

And the only improvement to an A-5 stock barrel is to cut it up into a million pieces and burn it till there's nothing left. Then go buy a good barrel.

or you could spend 30-40 on a JJ ceramic, it gurantees accuracy, but if you don't have any, it wont help.
