I have been wondering which barrel would you guys choose. Please take both qiuetness and accuracy into consideration, but accenyuate the one you feel is most important.

if you sue Pmi premium you need a medium bore barrel. You cant use a Boomstick(small bore) so i'd say your best choice is the Smart Parts big daddy. Its like a boomstick except its a medium bore.

I think Big Balls are medium bore, http://www.Paintballgear.com has a size chart. Click on a paint brand and it's at the top of the page.

As for which barrel, I'm going for a Smart Parts Tear Drop. My second Choice is a Lapco Big Shot and Third Choice is a Smart Parts Boss Progressive.

I was seriously considering a CP one piece, but then I called Custom Products, twice, and each time it sounded like the person I spoke with had just finished Huffing down a big ole bowl of Weed and was too stoned to understand what I was saying.

well, I had an m98 custom with lapco bigshot, I was shooting nelsplat (both medium bore) and it worked from 30 feet, which is the farthest I ever shot that combo...

I just got my spyder tl+, played for four hours the other day using nelsplat with stock barrel (both medium bore) and the accuracy was horrible...from 50' out...I would have a spread of a couple feet I'd say.

I just got my j&j ceramic and marbilizers, and man, it's a big difference, the j&j/marb combo shoots extremely accurate, from 40' I had a spared of only a few inches. The balls come out much straighter, instead of curving.

SO, I'd recommend the j&j. Many think it looks odd, but it looks SWEET with my silver spyder tl+

I would say that smart parts makes the best .68 barrels. They make the TEARDROP barrel wich is an afoordable, pretty acurate and quiet barrel. They also make the ALL AMERICAN. This is for the person who has a little more money. The all american has realy awsome range and the accuracy is better than the teardrop. Now comes the best of them, the BIG DADDY. The big daddy is around $100 and is a mix between the teardrop and all american. It uses an all american back to accelerate the ball, while the teardop front acts as an extreamly accurate guid for the ball. This barrel is has a .68 back and .700 front. This may seem like it would be inacurate, but the co2, air or nitro is guided through the barrel in a special pattern that greatly increases accuracy. If i were you i would save my pennies and get the BIG daDDY.
