Which of these three is better? If you don't know what the Smart Parts is, I just copied the name off 888paintball.com; Here's link. http://www2.888paintball.com/product.asp?plid=BARRELS&icid=A5&scid=14&csid=32267355109778484829979506341097969529818670409760&code=18%2D1%2D2%2DSPT+C%2FB+14+BK&xt=br - http://www2.888paintball.com/product.asp?plid=BARRELS&ic id=A5&scid=14&csid=322673551097784848299795063410979 69529818670409760&code=18%2D1%2D2%2DSPT+C%2FB+14+BK& xt=br -------------

If the shop in my area was sellin the Lapco Bigshot I would definitely get it but, unfortunately I got the DYE Excel 14".....but again, the Lapco is worth havin. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

I have a "classic" Smart Parts 16" and a Lapco 8" Big Shot, talk about extremes. Both are good barrels, but I like my trusty SP better, at least for woodsball. But since neither barrel I have is 14," guess the weight of my response is lessened. Whatever. Either one is a winner as long as you match paint. ------------- "We do it until our balls break!"

| Lapco all the way. Nice barrel, excellent price, just make sure to get a sock as a standard plug won't fit. |

Well, Looks like Lapco is winning. I think I'll probably get that for my a-5. Well, when i get my a-5 that is. -------------
