Lapco Big shot (good barrel,really loud, decent accuracy, pretty cheap)
Flatline(RANGE!, accuracy is pretty good,heavy, loud)
All-American (cheap, Very good accuracy, pretty quiet, too much porting)
Marker Setup:

GTA expansion chamber
collapsable stock
r-t
and flatline barrel
2003 Black Shocker:
Max-flo 68/4500 system
14 inch stiffi Switch
Black Empire Reloader B
Recommended Paintballs:
Pmi premium- works exellent with the .691 size
Marbalizer- good paintballs, but just alittle small
dusk- worked well could be better
xball- Awsome paint shoots far and accurate but just alittle too small
inferno- got a old batch it worked ok
Strengths:
LIGHT!
Very Accurate
Ok price
strong
Weaknesses:
None really
Review:
ACCURACY:
With my A-5 and expansion chamber I can hit a trash can from 40 feet away with about a 3-4 inch grouping some times closer. At distant ranges with pmi premium or xball I can hit maybe a 5 inch grouping at about 70 feet away.(one day it was doing like 3 in from 75 feet with the premiums)
DURABILITY:
Very durable, havent hit it with a hammer like some people have but it feels very strong
NOISE:
For me it hasnt been super quiet like everyone says, but for some reason one day I was at the shooting range and I couldnt hear my gun shoot it was that quiet! Full of potential
DISTANCE:
I can get very good distant grouping up until about 150 feet maximum range
Conclusion:
For some reason my stiffi performs oddly with my A-5 not anything bad but it will be alot more quiet and alot more accurate some days even at same velocity and paint. Definetly get this barrel if you want superior performance. CANT WAIT TO TRY THE SWITCH ON MY SHOCKER!!

I own an A-5 also. The stiffi isn't as quiet as everyone says because the A-5 is a very loud gun compared to any other gun (probably because of the cyclone) and you can't make the hammer any quieter without the use of a silencer, and the stiffi isn't a silencer.
My friends have used stiffis on their 98's and they are a lot quieter than on an A-5.
