Choose which barrel, I need another, mainly for speedball, from these 4 choices which would be best for accuracy. I dont care how loud/quiet it is. ------------- Tippmann A5 Lapco Bigshot 12" E-Grip Dead on Bullet Drop Macro-Line 68ci 3000psi Carbon Fiber tank |

| Ultralight is great, but if you have some cash get a kit. |

That's the only color ceramics come in. They aren't available in grey anymore. Also, stay away from anything Smart Parts. The DYE Ultralight is a great barrel. Get that if you're looking to spend the money in that price range. If not, the Bigshot and J&J Ceramic barrels are great. The J&J actually matches the finish of a Tippmann quite nice. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

I use an Ultralight and I love it. For some reason it's loud, but I think that has more to do with my gun messing up than the barrel. Its pretty accurate, and I highly recommend Marballizers for use with the Ultralight- they match perfectly, and shoot like a dream. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

If you have the $$$, get the Freak. If not, pick up the All-American, you won't regret it... ------------- I don't have a sig anymore

Not really. Most paintballs aren't the exact same bore size every time you buy them. |

Is the Ultralight any more accurate then the bigshot. I have money but I don't really want to spend 150$ CDN on a barrel.

You don't need to spend a lot of money on a barrel for it to be good. Let's face it. It is just a pipe with a highly polished bore. There is not much it can do to effect the flight of the ball.
With high quality paint a Bigshot will provide the same performance as an Ultralight. Take care of your gun so it stays consistent and buy quality paint. ------------- Didn't I say, "No Guns for the Monkey?"
