I have a CMI True Flute 16" barrel. Do you think i need to upgrade to a more profesional barrel? I play woodsball, usually play less than 5 on 5. I play slow paced games. Please conside i am not a paintball freak or ubsessed with the game like most of you are. ------------- 98 Custom 16" True Flute barrel Viewloader Quantum hopper |

wrong forum.....New player forum is where you wanna go. I would say get a Bigshot or JJ ceramic, though.

Yeah, Bigshot or JJ Ceramic is the best choice for the price and accuracy. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Actually this should be in Upgrades and Customizing since hes asking on a upgrade. As to the barrel question, these is no such thing as a professional barrel, unless yer asking bout those barrel kits that come in 2 to 8 barrel inserts and those are not only jus fer Pro Players, anyone can get them. Lapco Big Shot J&J Ceramic All American DYE Ultralight or Excel etc. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

i like the J&J and the Bigshot i've never used a boomstick but its sposed to be a great barrel.but for woodsball,theres no better barrel than the Flatline,as long as you install it and shoot it right,and use high quality,small bore paint. ------------- 98 custom J&J 14" ceramic pen spring mod |

| who cares if hes not obsessed with it. if he wants a new barrel, which he should get, then he wants a barrel and theres nothing you can do about it. why cant you just answer his question or make a suggestion??? any way, i think the flatline is the best woodsball barrel you will see on the market today. |

my boomstick does wieght more than must barrels ive seen but my 16in balances with my gun great. but i just ordered a remote line so that could change. i may have to get a stock to rebalance it out. we will just have to wait and see. ------------- Tippmann for life ~98c ~16in Dye Boomstick ~Pen Spring Mod ~Remote Coil ~6 in 1 belt ~14oz and 20oz Tanks |

I have the same one you have... I really believe it's one of the best barrels out there, the rifling is far superior to the rifling on a Armson. It's really cranks my accuracy. I might stay with this barrel, but if I was too get another barrel I'd get a Big Shot. Just take your velocity and calm it down a bit and compress your spring. You'll be amazed. This comes from someone who has actually used the barrel. Just keep it. ------------- I'll see you before you see me. <I had a moronic quote in my sig> |
