What Barrel?

[Laue]

I know this gets posted all of the time. But I searched and I couldnt find anyone in my situation.

Right now here's my set-up:
98 Custom
Flatline
Response Trigger
PsychoBallistics Drop Forward
Ricochet AK

I love my flatline, but I like playing speedball more then I do scenerio. And I just need a shorter barrel. The flatline sucks to get in between bunkers quickly.

So I'm wondering what barrel I should get. I've heard Lapco Bigshot, Teardrop, Small Parts.. And so on.

I'm looking for a 10" but I could possibly do 12" I'm not a loudness/quiet barrel freak. I really dont care.

I dont want a boomstick. Too expensive. Can you guys help me out.

All the above, definately a $48 7.5" Lapco BigShot. You will love the way it shoots.

That reminds me too much of my stock barrel *SHAKES*

[willpill]

ya. that short barrel is great for around corners. and stuff.

but again. i dont like dye personally and id reccomned the AA 12inch or the snakebite 8 inch.

AA for 60 : affordablepaintballsupply.com

check reviews for the BOA snackbite.

i dont know where they sell those.

and i think its better you put this in barrels forum

[Laue]

What about those Stealth Barrels or whatever..

[The Kampfer]

You can not compare the stock barrel with the bigshot.
But anyway it is your call.

[Relentless]

8-10 inch bigshot (loud, but who cares?)

or a teardrop/progressive... very good barrel... i have found both of them for 40$, so its well priced, too


And of course the all am, but it shoots just about as well as the teardrop/progressive, so unless if your dieing to have a 2 peice, then get the progressive or bigshot

its your choice, and shouldnt this of been in the barrel forum :eyes:

thanks relentless:laugh:

I could but since its for my Tippmann 98 Custom, I thought I'd come here to the experts. Plus I did right after I read Willpills post that suggested it and its got 0 replys and 4 views. ;)

I'm not dying for a 2 piece. I'm thinking Teardrop. They look cool too. Have any of you heard any complaints about them? And for 40 bucks you cant beat the price.

Also what about an ARMSON Stealth?

[willpill]

well teeardrops are great nice and cheap

make sure you get a good paintmatch and thanks for taking me advice;)

well for money probs - get the teardrop . no probs there

armsom stelh? hm... well read reviews. and my opinion. should be considerably quiet/accurate. decent barrel

[Relentless]

agree with willpill i do......

if your gonna go for teardrop, and your struggling for cash, then get a progressive... same bore size, and same porting, just doesnt have the indentions for the ports.......


i dont know much about the armson stealth... do a search in the barrel/paint forum

[willpill]

ok i read some.

they are quiet
kinda accurate.
come in 13 and 16.

well i would be more confident buying a smartparts barrel

i like smartparts (dunno why i dont like dye)
