I have used it, and it's not very respectable. Tippmann's stock barrel are just straightened aluminum pipes. Feel the inside of it. Not very smooth is it? Investing in a new barrel will certainly help. ------------- I don't have a sig anymore

the stock barrel is good, later you need to get a barrel kit or a new barrel. You should consider on getting a barrel kit like evil pipe kit or the freak kits. -------------

Most people don't like flatlines in speedball, some back players do, but not most. Tippmann has a reputation for having some of the worst stock barrels around, investing in a kit would be best. -------------

I have never used my A-5's stock barrel. Or my 98c's, for that matter. |

I would actually recommend you get a 12" Lapco Bigshot for speedball. They are pretty much the most accurate barrel you can buy. -------------

So what is this experience thing you talk of? What is that? Stock barrels suck monkey chunks. 111 posts and you never read a thread about barrels in here? Must be a younger sibling using your account. -------------

go in ur back yard and tape the vents of the stock barrel up and shoot some balls off you get better accuracy and distance works better with 98c stock better but A-5 is good too ------------- http://img203.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img203&image=kerrypyle0nt.jpg">

The stock barrel sucks for speedball, so does the flatline (it was suggested above, its a BAD idea) The lapco bigshot 12" is a great barrel, if you have the cash get an evil pipe kit or lapco snapshot kit. |
