my shop offered me a chice between those 2 barrels, 25 bucks! i figured it was a good deal and i would pick one up, but i was wondering which the better barrel was between the two, i would ratehr get the better one then use that and my bigshot or let my buddy use one since he still has the stock barrel. And if oyu could, leave a reason for why one is better than the other....
Thanks in advance! ------------- Uh oh, im becoming a gun whore, Fully Upped A-5, Red Shocker Vision, B2K4 w/PDS, soon to come....ION |

Both barrels are pretty good from what I've heard. Both seem to be fairly accurate. I would have to say go for the Teardrop though because I like the porting better. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

go to http://www.smartparts.com - www.smartparts.com they say that the smart parts progressive and teardrop are the same exact barrel, but the only differnce is the look of the porting. Ive got a prgrassive and its great, whichevr is cheaper buy it they are both awesome barrels and a great investment toward your gun! ------------- Hey Setup: Tippmann 98 Progressive 14" Pure Energy 20oz.

The teardrop is better than the progrssive. I have a progressive and I know. The Bigshot kills the two though. So just let your friend buy it. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |
