stock barrels have an unusually large bore this is why a barrel should be your first upgrade ------------- http://img76.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stickemup6of.jpg">

The 98c stock barrel is a medium bore. So any medium bore ball should work well in it. I found that the Scorch from Wal-mart work good in the 98c stock barrel (still not real accurate though-think about buying a new barrel). ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Draxxus/Dusk and PMI work well. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

I use cheap paint for woodsball. It works great for the price. It's just like $40 - $30 for 2000 paint. I use the following: TORK CORE ZAP Deviant They come in the 2000 round buckets. Cheap, but effective. |

With the stock, unless you're really serious about accuracy,
find as low costing paint as possible. Just yesterday i went to a
paintball place in WI, and bought a case of Scorch for $20 from Walmart
without a single break the whole time I was there. Once you
upgrade to another barrel, or if you want even better paint, with the
extra cost of course, definetly go with PMI premiums, cause they kick
ass.

Zap work really good if you don't have a RT. With my RT all it does is chop paint. But if you are willing to spend some money allstar or evil are really good. Premium are also good ------------- decked out 98 custom |

I don't know why you bother!111one! The WAL*MART will own US ALL!!!111!!!one!!!!!shift+1!! They will make us use BE guns and paint and use the scrambled egg hopper thats square and feeds a monster 4 BPS which will be fas since they will limit us to 1bpm and make us use our scratched foggy dirty stock masks!!!111!!! and if we make a big move they will cause an earthquake and break our ankles!!!11!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!! The WAL*MART WILL OWN ALL!!!!!!!!111!!!oneoneone!!!!!shift+1!!!!!!!!!! But if you must go for the 3A Barrels they are cheap and shoot like a freak kit(that is if you get the kit) If not it shoots like an AA or Freak) I don't know why you bother though you will be using a VL gun soon an it won't have a barrel and if it does it will have marks inside so you blow three in the barrel for every one that comes out!!11!!!!!!!!! The WAL*MART SHALL OWN ALL!!!!!!!!!111one!!!!!!!!!!shift+one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------
