Final Barrel Decision

[FredRandle]

ok, I guess I lied when I said my other barrel thread would be my last.

I've now narrowed down my barrel decision to these to similar barrels.

Dye Boomstick or the JT two piece.

I've heard that they're exactly the same but the JT is cheaper. If the is true then I'll get the JT, but I'm willing to pay extra money if the Boomstick is better. Please help me out!

A paintball does not care what barrel it came from or how slippery the inside of the barrel was after it has left the gun. Accuracy is affected mainly by what happens to the ball AFTER IT HAS LEFT THE GUN. If the ball has paint on it or is dirty, the paint will alter the flight of the ball due to irregularities in the flow of air over the surface of the ball. If wind pushes on the ball, it forces it off course and it won’t go where you thought it would. If the seam is not formed well, or the balls fill is of lightweight nature, the air will not flow evenly over the ball and it will go off course.

Here is a list of possible factors (in no particular order) that will affect your accuracy:

Velocity too high ( over 280 can cause curving)
Paint in the barrel
Dirt in the barrel
Oil in the barrel (after lubing gun)
Dirty paintballs
paintball seconds
Cracked paintball
Uneven fill mixture (old paint)
oversized paintballs
Wind
Humidity
Barrel bore too tight
Bent barrel

yes, but most of the time we have none of those bad conditions. (unless you buy crappy paint and drop it on the ground). And the rest can be fixed, for example, shooting over 280 fps, by a nicely honed barrel,
*cough* *multiple switch equation* cough* , they tested the barrels accuracy at 340-360 fps with accuracy.
