I bought a Lapco 12" Bigshot for my 98C last year. Days later I got hurt pretty bad and haven't played or used that barrel since. I can't remember what the bore is or what paint would be reccomended for it. Anyone else have one that may be able to help me out?
Thanks -------------

Yea, it's .689. And you'll get the best results using medium bore paint.

Draxxus Blaze? Last year I heard that 32 Degrees "Team Colors" was a good quality paint. Is that still the case?

no, because it fits the barrel really well and is cheap
why, you got some hot pink stains on your jersey or something? It wasn't me! LOL ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

Draxxus Midnight...is it comparable to the Blaze? What's the difference? -------------

Blaze are a little better, but also cost more. So if you are just messing around I'd get the Midnight. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

how well does zap rec series and RPS Bigball work in it???????? ------------- new A-5 user |

^It shoots almost any paint well, especially the medium-large sized stuff.
Personally, I don't think much of BigBall at all, I would much rather spend the extra $5 or so and get the RPS/PMI Premiums, much more consistent size equals better overall accuracy. The $5 will be worth it when you are getting more kills and the balls are going where you want them to every shot. I haven't used ZAP rec series, but I have used the ZAP Chronic quite a few times and would kinda give the same advice, pay the extra cash and get the quality paint. The Chronic is really good, easpecially for the price. Not to say there isn't good bargains for under $40/case, but for my money and playing enjoyment I prefer depending on the products that are more consistent. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |

Ok I'm down to the final 3 choices for paint to play in our yearly work PB get together
The Draxxus Midnight which is $31 (is there a bad reason it's on sale?) The 32 Degrees Team Colors $34 The Draxxus Blaze which is $47 My gun: 98 Custom, CO2, Lapco Bigshot barrel Will the extra cost for Blaze pay me back in better shooting, less problems? Or will this completely Rec player even notice? -------------

I personally think the PMI/RPS Premiums are just as good as the Blaze, but better fit your barrel. ------------- "People who see the future earlier than others are always feared and misunderstood." - Jose Canseco |
