I've decided to get a 2 piece barrel but i dont know what bore size(s) i should get. the sizes i have to choose from are
.683 .686 .688 .690 .693
they currently have a special where i can get 2 different bore size and a front for $90 or all five sizes for $199, or 3 for 169...

I'd go for a .688 and a .693.

I don't know; I live in CA and it never gets really cold.

Might not be a bad idea to get a .686 and a .693.

What barrel are you thinking. Sometimes it is good to go ahead and get all bore sizes. I have played with paintballs that are still smaller than a .683.

im thinking of getting a hammerhead... if i buy the deal with the barrel and two fins for 99$ i can get the other three for 30$ apiece but i wouldnt get the ball sizer grease or case and it would be cheaper than if i bought the kit... ive got about $100 in cash right now so i think i might just sell sme stuff on ebay to get the $200 for the 5 piece kit

get the larger bore for sure,that way no matter what paint you shoot it should fit just fine.And probably .686.You reallly only need 2 bore sizes
