| Hey, I was wondering if the Dye Boomstick, 14 or 16 inch, would be good for a woodsball, for my A-5 . I read some great reviews for it so i was wondering... |

Anything over 12 will get you nothing noticably better, only worsen things. Such as your effincy on air. And boomstick, ive used one before and i just dont like them. It wasnt anymore accurate than my stock angel, and it was heavy. Dont get me wrong, they arent bad i just prefer stiffis. ------------- |

| The only reason to go over 14 inches it to have some extra barrel length to push in the bunkers. A 14 inch will shoot just as well, if not better than a 16 inch, and it will use less gas. If you don't care about length, get a 12" it performs identicly to a 14", but less barrel sticking out. |

How is a longer barrel going to put out more gas? Your gun doesn't
adjust it's gas ouput due to the length of the barrel. I **edited**ing hate
that myth.

You need more air/c02 to propell the ball just as hard/far out of the barrel of a 16" compared to a 12". ------------- |

That's true, but you don't have to adjust the velocity if you don't want to. ------------- YONK~!~ |

Yeah but if you don't it decreases preformance of your marker, along with its abilitys. ------------- |

| what about selling my A-5 with stock and a teardrop online and getting a spyder electra or something along those lines? Would that result of a faster and more accurate gun and use less air than my A-5? I'm not sure. |

Stick with your tippmann. Spyders are known to have many problems, just trust us on this one.
