Personally, I like the Lapco Bigshot. It is a
good barrel and it is cheap. Also, I like the 12 inch barrel
better than the 14 inch. That is just my opinion though. I
hope this helps.

Excerpt from Uber Upgrades sticky: - BARREL LENGTH- For the most part, the length of your barrel does not affect accuracy. A paintball needs about 7.5-8 inches of barrel to stabilize, and to be truthful, after that, you are using more of your air source (co2, n2, or HPA). So, the longer the barrel, the A- more air you use and B- the more you have to turn up your velocity. This should help to eliminate questions asking “How long should I order my barrel?” Although, once again, I will say there is nothing wrong with asking questions, after you search. I will list some decent barrels for decent prices. (Note-I know I am not naming all of the barrels.) J+J Ceramic Stiff!

Big Shot or Flatline
I have had both of those and both are really good. The flat line takes a little more time and money because it is hard to adjust at first. |
