Well heres the deal, i need a new barrel for my autococker but like everyone else in this forum it seems i need some help making a decision (we all have no wills of our own i guess). In my area i have a limited selection as far as paintballs go, theres brass eagle (uhh...no), zap proball, and then diablo blaze, inferno, midnight. Personally i prefer blaze so i would like a barrel that would fit them. I looked at that list of paintball and barrel sizes and it looks like the lapco bigshot seems to be the right size for them but that list is like 3 years old so i'd like it if someone who has a lapco could tell me if blaze (or any other diablo brand paint) worked for them. I also have the option of getting a CP one piece barrel, J&J ceramic, a smart parts teardrop or possibly AA. Do any of the paints listed above match those barrels well? I can't afford anything more expensive than those (the lapco and AA would even be pushing it) so don't go and tell me to buy a freak or boomie.

Thanks

A bigshot will shoot pretty much anything with extreme accuracy. We're talking better than a boomer (my opinion) here! I'd definetly go with the bigshot. I own a J&J and a 12" DYE SS, and the bigshot's the best for med. paint!! Even with small paint (marbs) it seems to shoot incredibly straight. Probably slightly straighter than the DYE. The J&J just isn't cutting it though. I don't know why. I just never use it. My advise: get a LAPCO BIGSHOT!!!! :D :cool: :)

ok i just need to find someone to buy the lapco bigshot with spyder threads that came with my cocker (i got it used). Or if anyone with a spyder wants to trade msg me.

i dunno. the blaze i've been getting tends to be medium one time, then small the next. you might want to try a teardrop. it is a small-med bore barrel and shoots bigball great. bigball is a terrific ball for the money also.
