Out of those choices I would say Freak, more money but I think it's worth it.

I have the 12" Broomstick and the 13" Snapshot for my A-5.
I can't really see a difference between the two in accuracy or noise. Both are high quality barrels. I would recommend either one. ------------- Crusader Tippmann A-5 Flatline, Broomstick, and Snapshot E-Grip 68/4500 HPA VForce Morph face saver |

Lapco snapshots are very good and they shoot well, I think it takes
small bore paintballs. I hope you are happy with whatever decison you make! 133t -------------

yeah the teardrop is better than a bigshot. The bigshot may shoot just about any kind of paint but your not using cheap paint [as in wal-mart specials] in your A-5 right? If not then a teardrop will shoot is very well. Footnote: I have shot BLUE STREAK paint in the teardrop to see if it shot and it shoots surprisingly well! NOT reccomended though since it is such horrible paint |

i dont care about the price its the performance of the barrel, and i think im gonna go with the teardrop =) of course my flatline is awesome, its just that when i play speed ball, i dont need that kind of range.

Save your money and get the bigshot! My friends has a bombstick and I have a lapco bigshot. They perform the same and his cost way more! ------------- New Black Matrix. |
