OK...I need some help from the "Subject Matter Experts". I have an A5 and I'm running compressed air. Cost not being an issue, what is the most accurate barrel or barrel system I can get??? P.S. I have a FL and although it shoots flat and far, it is not very accurate.
Thanks for the help in advance.

From what I hear a Boomstick, Freak kit, Empire kit, and that's all I know for the higher end ones.

For the best results like Tippy said always match your paint to your barrel. -------------

All barrells are accurate as long as the bore size of paint is the same as the barrell I personaly reccomend the Lapco bigshot 8.5" barrell remember its not the length of the barrell in paintballing that determines the accuracy. i hope i helped ------------- Tippmann A5 Red/Green dot sight Lapco Bigshot 8.5" Palmers A5 Stableiser 20oz Gas canister/Anti Syphon |

Like these other guys said, its all how well the ball fits in the barrel. I personly like the CP 2 piece barrel system. I like the way it looks and you can get it in several differnt lengths and dang near any color you want. When it comes down to a barrel pick a decent barrel system nothing too cheap but not over the top expensive either, and choose the one you think looks the best on your gun. ------------- "The essence of war is violence.

I like the Dye ultra light, i got one on my cocker, and its a VERY nice barrel. And like any 2 piece barrel, you can make a kit out of it if you wanna buy some more backs ------------- Ans GX-3 Dye ultra light E2 JAckhammer LPR ANS gen-x 2 reg eclipse QEV's nexus ram Egg 2 68/3000 carbon fiber tank Uni-mount |

flatline very accurate at a distance if you can find the right paint. i would suggest using marballizer. its expensive and if your running hpa you should get great peformance. P.S. what kind of paintballs are you using for flatline, or you might fiddle with your velocity a little and see which shoots best, works best with 275-285fps for me. |
