| does a non ported barrel give you better distance? Ive heard once the air behind the ball hits the ports the ball will stop accelerating is this true? |

Ported/non-ported . . . it doesn't matter range-wise. Any ball that leaves any barrel at 280 fps will go just as far as any ball leaving any other normal (non backspin) barrel at 280 fps.

| thanks for the info I love my jj barrel but my buddy has a blitz with an evil barrel and is giving me a hard time cause his range is alot better than mine and everone else ill invest in a chrono cause he has to be shooting hot with that kind of range. We actually had a guy quit playing saturday cause he was tired of getting shot my the blitz |

YES! GET A CHRONO...
It is dangerous to play without chrongraphing the guns first. I find at least one marker at over 350 every time we have a big game.
And then get an Apex. You will then shoot longer than anyone using a regular barrel.

| yea I talked to him today about getting all the guns chronoed he agreed with the idea. I know im not shooting as hot as he is but the other week after 4 of by ball bounced off of one guy I turned mine up a little. Id put $ im not over 300 but am ivesting in a chrono to at least be on a level safe playing field. |
