before getting a new barrel look here

[toadman7b22]

ok before buying some barrel or posting a million threads or polls asking what kind of barrel i should get read this

anyway if u want a good paint/barrel chart then just get on yahoo, and type in for a search: Paint/Barrel Chart and like 8 will come up.

also paintballgeeks has a link on their site also

[BOBO2]

Ahhh..it seeems you have picked up some nice info from the forums, little noobie

:D

[JDoGG]

and isnt bigball small bore? or at least small-medium? it says medium and everyone at my field shoots it out of boomsticks and tight bore barrels great

[toadman7b22]

the size of paint has been gettin smaller and smaller
mayb big ball is gettin smaller
i noticed blaze has been gettn real small

[AllOleander]

Heh..i always thought it was large bore..or maybe thats proball...?

Its probably inconsisant so some cases are small and some are medium.

Who knows..but sorry i cant answer your question.

[FredRandle]

dude, thanks this stuff's really helpful!!!

[spyderstomper]

proball are small bore stupid.

[JDoGG]

ya, proball is small. bigball is small-medium(at least what ive seen of it), and i've been getting really small blaze balls too. maybe we could change the chart some if everyone agrees???

[high adjucator]

bigball is medium -large it was my field paint and it fit my medium-large armson pro perfectly (remember m98 barrels are half a size up from normal

[ARA]

Paint may be getting smaller but do any of you rember
0.50 cal used it things like 6 shot crossman relover
YES before splat-masters (am I showing my age?)

[Saiyan_warrior]

Bigballs are Medium-small.

[JDoGG]

ya whoever said bigball was med-large must have been using some old balls that he found on the feild after a day of play or osmething.

[high adjucator]

maybe everybody had bad accuracy that day so maybe that was it.

does anybody know if a lapco autospirit is good for midnight? (pb's)

[paintballer56]

thanx for the info
