Subject: Which barrel kit

I play woodsball and I dont want the flatline because somone said it isin't good with the E-trigger. I play woods ball 7/10 of the time and I just want a good barrel that will last me awhile. Which one is more accurate, and which one has more distance? What are the pros and cons of each one?

 

Thanks in advance,

Eric

The Flatline performs just fine with the E-grip. Why wouldn't it?

Freaks are excellent provided the barrel is sparkling clean. Break or chop and you are in deep trouble unless you can get it cleaned out.

I haven't used the Snapshot, but have never heard bad things about it.

Based on those two, I'm gonna give my vote to the SnapShot because Lapco makes sublime products and the ability to change backs rather than inserts has always appealed to me.

if i have it on full auto or if im shooting very fast on 3 shot burst with a double trigger, or if i have it on semi but are shotting very fast with a double trigger.

That shouldnt affect the Flatline at all. You must be using crappy paint.

I'd go with the Freak.

The frequency at which the balls are moving through the barrel does not affect the barrels' performance.

uhhh actully. when im shooting fast period with my flatline the back pressure breaks the balls. if you make a vent at the top of yr gun youll be better off i think im not possitive. but everyone i kno with a flatline cannot shoot very fast at all.

anyways. all thje pro's use freaks they're pricey for the kit but well worth it. youll be able to use any bore size paint which is really important when it comes to accuracy.

That makes about as much sense as loss of accuracy because you're shooting fast.

i have a freak, its nice

but i dont like the insert idea, when you squeege from one side, it shoots out with the pull through squeegee

then if i do it from the other side, im afraid ill brake it, even though i prolly wont

perhaps the peppersticks? if i were getting a new gun, id get that barrel kit

Way to name off two kits that don't come in Tippmann threads.

 

Thread adapters are bad, so don't even go there.

Get the snapshot, its just plain awsome plus it cleans itself out fairly well, if you just keep shooting for about 50 rounds.
