Flatline is the only "far shooting" barrel that I trust. It is kinda hard to clean, and it is kinda picky on paint, so.... The decision is yours. |

Flatline is the only further shooting barrel. Shoots good at any ROF, accuracy is usualy great, but depends on the paint. Kind of is hard to clean compared to traditional barrels. -------------

You might still look into a J&J, though. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

The Lapco Bigshot used to be my all time favorite single peice barrel but now I like the CP one peice even more. |

If you want the most accurate barrel for longer rangers, I would recommend a 12" barrel with minimal porting. The LAPCO Bigshot is awesome, and is my recommendation. The 12" beadblasted model looks like it was made for a Tippmann, IMHO. You won't be disappointed or missing out on anything with the LAPCO Bigshot....12", beadblasted model. *Edit* I also agree with Large Unit, the Custom products one-piece barrels are very nice. And affordable too. |

Apex are cheater barrels...... if i see someone with one at my field i'm gonna light them up. They take sooooo much skill out of the game...... ------------- X |

I, personally would take any advantage possible. However, i dont like the look of the apex. But if an apex barrel is cheating, and i cheating with a flatline? if i have a q loader and a flatline, i can rotate the gun upside down or to the side, and accomplish what BT was trying to do. Am i cheating now? |

| I got a evil driver barrel and it works great with any paint. It also cleans itself when theres a break but breaks dont happen often. |

now
what is better the big shot or the cp one piece becuase those seems to
be accurate at long ranges and break less ball and easier to clean than
the flatline...(im never gonna buy an apex becuase who has time to
adjust it and train until u get it right while waisting paint....it
seems unreasonable to get an apex)... |

| Well it depends on what your needs are. |

Well i think there are different advantages to each barrel. I personally would buy a lapco bigshot. (and since paint is seeming to get smaller these days, the bigshots skinnier brother- auto spirit). It is a great barrel, and performs well. It doesnt kill the pocket either. All-american's are about as accurate, and they are quiet. I would wait a while before buying the flatline.
I dont think i would get the BT barrel either, until i saw it in action. I think it has potential, but i dont think my speculation would be worth tossing 120$ at a barrel that has this massive weight at the end. |

| j&j's are nice and acurate, but redz pepper sticks are going to be another good barrel will be very light wieght,acurate,and pretty cheap(uses the same 2 piece design like an all american) |

Alright, any standard, straight barrel is gonna shoot the same distance given the same conditions/variables.
Personally, I go for barrels that have the least porting. Straight up. By design, the only thing they lack is quietness....a LAPCO or Custom Products barrel is gonna be pretty loud. But they are also gonna be as accurate as anything, due to the long controlled bore, shoot through breaks better due to the lack of porting, and give less chance for debris to enter your barrel. If you want utmost accuracy, you do NOT want the Flatline! Trust me, I owned one and sold it because of the lack of accuracy. I could not be any happier than I am with my LAPCO barrels(Bigshots and Autospirit), and I wouldn't mind having a .693 bored 10" Custom Products one-piece barrel. I also own a one-piece 12" AllAmerican, and while it is a good barrel, the LAPCO is more accurate and with a wider variety of paint, has less breaks in barrel, shoots through breaks better, and I don't have as much problem with crap getting in my barrel through the porting. |
