TearDrop: Great Barrel, I've never had a problems with the one i sued awhile back but there is 1 thing about it.... IT Chops up Squeegies like a Cheese Grater. 32* Terminator: Good barrel but I think only M98 with Ceral Number 495,501. Empire Twister: Never really heard of it... so it might not be good... |

i would definitely go with the tear drop. i have shot all the smart parts barrels, and with my 98, never chopped a ball with any of them!! ------------- insanefront53 |

Do you not realize how ignorant that statment was? Barrels, unless it's something like a Mayham with that reciprocating barrel design, do not chop paintballs. Once you do break a ball (and you will), you'll need water to make it shoot straight again (let it dry). The paint and shell can get caught in the porting and seap in after being sqeegeed, so it can cause breaks or bad accuracy. ------------- http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/members.asp - !!**~~My Hate List~~**!!

Ok call me new but I see a few of you saying the barrel chops balls. I was under the impression that you can either have a "barrel break" (a pintball that breaks in the barrel) OR a "chopped ball" (a ball that's the next in line to fall into the port or chamber and the bottom gets cut off of as the front bolt comes forward and sends out the ball in the "port/chamber". So my question is a barrel can break a ball but not "chop" a ball...correct?

Though I have to say I like the intimidation factor of a loud barrel + RT on full auto. Nothing keeps the other team's heads down while you move up. ------------- Tippmann A5 w/RT 18" Dye Boomstick 14" Commando F/X M4 Stock Weaver foregrip Offset Tasco RD Scope Remote w/20oz CO2 |
