Armson Stealth VS CP one piece, the final showdown!

[Avatar]

yet another "what barrel should i get?" question. i have a spydy tl plus and i need a new barrel. first off let me state that cash isnt a factor in my decision, ive already saved up the money for the armson, but then i read about the CP. i use big ball religiously (i dont give a crap what they say, ive never had one of my balls bounce) and from the charts it seems that both would work, but which one would work better? does the rifling actually matter? does the anodizing on the CP actually chip? which one is quieter?

I have my armson stealth up for sale. I might go electric and hate to sell it but that's life! :D Here is the URL If you had bought one already, I hope you didn't pay retail...

yes well thats all well and good but it really doesnt answer any of my questions, and i have to say that since you are selling it any review you give could be biased.

[Goldfinger]

In my experience, its going to be a matter of personal preference. So that's up to you. If you become interested in the next few days and you do decide to look into it, you have the url to my barrel. :D

Personally I like the CP barrel. THey'll only chip, if you get a nickel barrel, but not all of them chip. Also you can get the CP barrels in different bore sizes if you like at http://www.e-paintballoutlet.com

Goldfinger, This isnt the right forum to be selling your items. Either go to the barrels forum in the trading forums or do it over a pm.

the website has a real low price but i go to store and its not there. also which barrel is quieter?

[AllOleander]

I have a blue CP and it has never chipped. I have heard that the nickel chips sometimes, so I agree w/ Saiyan_Warrior.

CP ALL THE WAY! ARMSON IS JUST USELESS RIFLING AND IT IS UGLY AS HEL!

[macdruen]

armson armson if you want different sizes get a stealth and a pro

[Magadeth]

the Armson barrels are kickazz! My friend turned me on to one. He had it on his spyder aand that thing was super accurate. I now own one for my mag and like it alot.

[snipinhick]

both faily accurate, but i find the rifeling JUST a little harder to clean after a day of paintball.

[Mephisto]

I have never used a cp but have played against and with an Armson Stealth. It is insanely quiet and accurate. Doesn't self clean well but hardly ever breaks a ball if you use the right kind, so no problem there.

[irrelevant]

you guys who say CP are dumb. the barrel is giving you problems cuz you are using cheap crap paint. if you use good paint, no problems at all. they are accurate, quiet. they are not one of the better looking barrels, but whos gonna see it while they are getting lit up. ARMSON all the way!!!!

I know this isn't one of your choices, but you ought to check out the DYE Ultralight. Paintballnumber1.com has it onsale for $59.99. I heard it's REALLY nice, I ordered one for my 98 custom a week ago I'm stoked. They have them for spyder but only in the 12 and 16 inch lengths. Still maybe you should check it out, it's upto you though. As for the two you have picked, I'd go for CP, although I've never seen one in action I've heard nothing but good things about them on the internet and from players that I play with.:)

man I don't think I've ever seen one THIS old pulled back before, good one chief

What did you think he still didn't make his decision in 1 1/2 years?

You may want to try doing that problem one more time...

[Shredder]

I've used both, and I can say for sure the CP is the better barrel. :)

[ACS87]

dude sorry... i dont usually catch the date. i must've done a search and those usually bring up older ones too i guess, and then after awhile forgot and thought that it was a recent post. again...sorry to piss everyone off, didn't mean to. :(

[reneirwolf878]

I got more of a laugh then a pissed off'd mood.

It alright, lol it was great

What did you search for? cp one piece? I would think that a bunch of other threads would pop up first with that in it. Didn't you have to cycle through a few pages?

[ACS87]

uh i dunno exactly how i came upon this thread. i think i just searched, musta thumbed through a page or two and came upon this one and didnt notice that its from '01. yeah i was lookin for CP barrels (have an ultralite now though) I guess I wanted to see what everyone had to say in this thread and instinctivly put my 2-cents in, even though its old. lol..
...maybe it i came upon it through the "This barrel vs. that barrel" thread? oh well, sorry again guys.

[AaronZ]

armson barrel- got one. I think its pointless. Used to like it, then started speedball and chucked it out the window.

Notice that this thread was OVER A YEAR OLD before you trugged it back up.
