The J&J ceramic is good, the Lapco big shot is a good barrel too. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">

Flaltine rules but there is no best barrel for all of those things. Flaltine has best range, bigshot is them ost accurate, whisper is the quietest. ------------- I need to find smaller pictures for my profile. |

Who cares how quiet your barrel is. If you want distance then you have to get the Flatline. The Flatline is the only barrel that adds distance to your shot. It also has good accuracy. In my opinion, the Lapco Bigshot has better accuracy but the Flatline adds both to your shot. -------------  |

i know this sounds **edited** but if u have a A-5 get a teardrop it makes any ball hurt real bad ( hint hint "tear drop") but the flat line is the only barrel that adds range (i have both barrels) ------------- I need to read the rules on sig and avatar sizes. |

I have no idea why a Lapco Bigshot would be better than a J&J Ceramic. If I had a choice, between the two, I would choose the J&J Ceramic. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

Well, duh! I'd choose accuracy over plus distance any day. Just get the Bigshot and trust me, you won't regret it!!!

you are making an excellent choice may i suggest the 14 inch bead blasted model the dull paint job makes it more flush with the dull black of a tippmann and i dont care about the physics or w.e i have more distance with this barrel than i did with my stock one the paintballs go farther so w/e -------------

Allow me to correct myself but the Flaltine is only slightly less accurate than the Bigshot at the bigshots maximum range. The Flatline will still be going for much farther. ------------- I need to find smaller pictures for my profile. |

flatline is probably the best barrel out of paintball. then dye boomstick. the jj ceramic and lapco big shot are also very good barrels |

There is no best barrel. "best barrel" would probabaly be any barrel matched up with good paint and the skill of the player using it. *Just my 2 cents worth. Have a great day. -------------

Bighsot is 50% cheaper than the flatline and shoots just as accurate if nto better but not quite as far, by the time a ball from the flatline goes farther than a ball from another barrel its going so slow you can just dodge it

Flatline. You get more distance if you're a woodsball or a cover player.

You r an uber n00b. The balls from the flaltine don't slow down that quickly or that much at all. ------------- I need to find smaller pictures for my profile. |

| Flatlinbe does nbot slow the ball down, It looks like it does but it doesn't. LAPCO FOR PRICE AND ACCURACY!!! but hey i want a flatline too... but money is short at the moment. I have a bigshot I like it a lot i've played with it 4 times and put 3000 balls through it. Tat thing is the bees knees, ha ha ha, hanging around my grandmother too much. |

I prefer the freak system because paint comes in all diff sizes and the barrel is much more accurate when the paint fits the barrel right ------------- http://jeffspbpix.mypicgallery.com/mpg/Route.asp - My Gun |

I'm just a poor college student lol so I look for cheap barrels. I bought the teardrop and I dont want to look for a new barrel unless I get a barrel kit. I love the barrel. It works great for me and is CHEAP!! Also...I try and play as much speedball as I can with an A-5 and the flatline is just not an option. ------------- Every drop of blood,Every bitter tear,Every bead of sweat,I live for this!
