I got my 98C a while ago and I still have the stock barrel for it. I
mostly play Woodsball, but in the winter I play indoor. I don't really
like the flatline because you have to buy paint at the place I go and
the paint sucks. It could have been that the barrel it's self was
broken in some way, because I saw a few flatlines out there. I want
something that will get me distance but also accurate, I can care less
how much noise it makes. Thanks everyone. |

A J and J ceramic is a great all around barrel as well as The Lapco Bigshot.
I would say the lapco runs for around $50 and the J and J for $40. http://www.countypaintball.com - Check out County |

j&j ceramic is an excellent choice, it's what i run on my 98c. i've used lapco bigshots various times, and they too are good. however i prefer the j&j ceramic. 12-14 inch is a good length. -------------

| How much more distance will I get with it, because that's what I'm mainly after. |

^^ all barrels will shoot pretty much the same distance. The only barrel that adds distance is the flatline but you dont want it. J&Js and lapcos are good so i would go with one of them. -------------

I'd go for the All American. It won't add any extra distance but will be a lot more accurate. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

JJ Ceramic or LAPCO Bigshot ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Heyya! I've found for a budget barrel, the Lapco Bigshot, J&J Ceramic, and Custom Product 1-Piece all preform about the same, it just comes down to personal preferance and a few features. I like all three. For high-end, I love the DYE Ultralite/Boomstick, J&J 2-Piece, and the All-American. Most preform somewhat equally, considering most use the same technology, materials, and processes. Good luck! ------------- Rawr... |
