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

I voted for the freak cause its the best out of those choices. But personally i would go with the J&J ceramic.

The barrel needs to come in black, for A5, i dont believe the Ceramic does.

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.

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.

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

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

this is a tuffy...if you're short on money go with the bigshot...if you have money but rn't willing to spend a whole bunch on a barrel right now go with the ultralite...if you have money and you're going all out then get the freak kit.

good luck!

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.
