Hello All. I would like a ask a question about upgrading my A-5. Currently I have the E-grip and an Exp. Chamber on it. I would like to know if those M-16 look-alike barrels are as good as they are advertised to be.

Do they chop balls? (some barrels seem to like eating them up)

Is it easy to clean... (I mean, with the shroud on...)

Is is durable? (Will the shroud break when it is hit by a paintball?)

Is it accurate? (Is the barrel going to give better results over the stock barrel?)

Finally... Is it worth my money or should I buy a Flatline?

Is it easy to clean... (I mean, with the shroud on...) The BT-16 does not have a shroud, it has a handguard and its very easy to take apart.

Is is durable? (Will the shroud break when it is hit by a paintball?) Yes it is durable.

Is it accurate? (Is the barrel going to give better results over the stock barrel?) Any barrel is more accurate than the stock barrel

Finally... Is it worth my money or should I buy a Flatline? The current price on the Flatline is $119.00, the BT-16 is about the same, but there is a huge difference between the two.....both the Flatline and the BT-16 are 14" long, the Flatline will give you another 100 to 150 ft when shooting, the BT-16's range is jus like any other 14" barrel on the market.

And if you must know....I have both of them.
