The tippmann sniper really isn't that good. The J&J is definitly (sp.) better. Go with 14" because the added barrel length doesn't improve your accuracy at this point. -------------

| Barrrel Length does not = Distance. All straight barrels shoot the same distance. I would go with a Lapco Bigshot. |

| No, all Straight barrels shoot the smae distance if chronoed the same. The maximum effective reange of any straight barrel is 75ft. |

Ahh, ok! And what barrel can shoot to longer distance? (expect flatline) |

^^Besides the Flatline, the only other barrel is the BT Apex. It's also a good barrel, and is worth a good look. |

But niether of those two barrels have decent accuracy at range. The ball loses velocity at the same rate as a normal barrel, so the chances of gettinga break at maximum range is slim to none. |

J&J ceramic, 14". The Tippmann sniper barrels suck. All Tippmann barrels have less than acceptable inner diameters and finishes. Tippmann makes great, durable guns, but they're barrels suck. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

The Tippmann Barrel are junk. The J&J is a good barrel and I was once happy tp own one before upgrading to a Lapco bigShot. If your able, but a Lapco Bigshot. Its dead on accurate and light weight! The sizes doesn`t matter. The longer the barrel is, the more consistancy you may lose in air/co2. I use a 14". but a 10" for you would be fine. Remember, the sniper gimic in paintball doesn't fly so well as guns are not accurate or long firing enough to use scopes or long barrels. ------------- "The key in war isn't to die for your country, but to make the othe bastard die for his". |

get the 14" J&J ceramic, instead of the Tippmann sniper barrel. Now if you put the Lapco Bigshot as one of your options, then I would opt for that barrel vice the J&J and the Tippmann. ------------- A5 Rfs Dwg triggr Ricochet R5 8"Lapco Bigsht/14"CP Classic Palmers Stab.

but a 10% chance of a ball break with a flatline at 175 feet is better than a 0% chance of a ball even getting that far with a strait barel |

True, but is that worth the money? In my opinion, No. |
