Witch one is best? I want the one that is the best barrel for cheap paint? I want the the one that can handle all types of paint! Deal with a break and still shoot straight, and is also easy to clean!

Get a J&J. They are awesome barrels. I did find that Elite's are too big for the barrel so they break. If you avoid that paint, the J&J is the way to go. ------------- http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5504952">

bigshot, you just need to get medium bore paint and it will shoot farther and straighter than a j&j ------------- what? |

It will not shoot farther than the J&J, they have the same range. I've played with them both, and I'd have to say the Bigshot is slightly more accurate.

I've got a JnJ, and I quite like it. It's good enought to where I don't want to spend another $50 on a Lapco. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

I love the Bigshot. Most accurate thing I've ever seen. Works well even with old paint, and it's always clean. -------------

Now, what do you mean "Effective Range"? I tend to think of effective range as the range at which you could expect a paintball hitting someone on the body, and having a greater than 50% chance of breaking. If you're talking accuracy, that's a bit difficult since we are essentially shooting a cone that widens and contracts from batch of paint to batch of paint, and depends on when you're cutting off the cone as being too inaccurate. ------------- M98C- W/QwkStrpCut Comp Air & Palmer Fatty Stab Gas-Thru Stock Lapco Sight Rail W/ADCO 30MM EDOT Qloader W/ CMS Freak SS W/Stif-Tip * Flatline * Armson Stealth |

Care to explain what you mean by that? Physics tells us 2 balls shot at the same velocity will go the same distance, no matter what barrel is used. So I hope thats not what your talking about. If your talking about the range at when it will break, Both paintballs will be going the same speed at a given time, so that doesnt work either. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

i mean the range that you could point the marker directly at someone and hit them in 1-2 shots. that means in an open field and the person is not moving. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

In that case... Every barrels "effective range" is the same. Except for the flatline and apex. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

nope my stock barrel might only be able to hit someone at 100 ft where a freak might hit 125-150 (within 1-2 shots) no extra range just more accurate. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

| Does anyone have or used both barrels? I don't care about range. I just want to know why one would be better than the other. my main reason is i'm sick of getting barrel break's in my werk's! I know barrel breaks will always happen. I also know better paint to barrel match will help this problem. But other than what wal-mart or D's sporting good's has to offer i'm out of luck! I just want to know which one is better for the paint I have access to. Also can anyone give me J&J's website? |

Thats mostly paint to barrel match. And yes, I have used them both. My brother has the J&J, I have the bigshot. We both agree mines slightly more accurate. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

That's up to you! Not possible to say! All paint is different! Also not possible! A dirty barrel is a dirty barrel! |

Thank's hybrid-sniper and you won't see me. You guy's said it all in the last two post's. Now I need to choose the bigshot or the snapshot!

That is not alwas true. If you compare the flatline or Apex barrel to a standard straight barrel, and shoot them both at the same velocity, they will not both go the same distance. The flatline or Apex barrel will surpass the distance. -Silent

I'd go for the Snapshot because it's a kit, and with a kit you can shoot pretty much anything. |

Flatline and apex are exceptions, everyone knows that, i didnt think it needed to be said. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| I own a J&J and could not be happier with it , but if your breaking paint with the werks barrel its gonna break in any barrel . This is my experience with the 11" werks and my 14" J&J. The only difference is that the J&J will actually or usually clean after a break with a few shots as not the case with the werks . As far as accuracy I am amazed at the accuracy that I can achieve with the J&J and so are many who are peaking through small holes in their bunkers only to take one right in the mask . Time and time again I nail these peepers who think they are safe peeking through a 6" whole in thier bunker ! |

I'm going to get a 12 inch J&J for my 98. When I get my A5 I will get the Lapco Bigshot for it. Thank's for the help wrathlon!
