Hey i have a Tippmann 98 custom and i want to upgrade the barrell. I just play rec ball at my house with friends, so what barrel is best for under $50? I am looking at the 32º Terminator, the 32º Nite Stikk, and also the 32º Ice Cold. I understand all of them are good, the terminator is $37, Nite Stikk $40 and the Ice cold, $49. Also i shoot very cheap paint, im talkin BE and that 2nd quality stuff you get out of the back of the .888 paintball, what will be the most forgiving and the most accurate?

Suprisingly enough the terminator is actually a nice barrel. I shot one once on a spyder and definately noticed a substancial difference. SO if you wanna save your cash this is a good choice. On the other hand the ice cold wil probably be the best barrel out of the three proformance wise. It has almost a Smartparts All american porting style to it. I personally have not tried one but if the terminor is their beginning after market barrel then I can only assume that the ice cold will be all that more better.
All in all I think either one of these barrels will work great just pick the one that best suits you price range and your own personal appeal.

Dude if you want a cool barrel without spending any money, read this. *notice i said cool, not great*
Stock barrel
Hacksaw
Sandpaper
Saw your barrel in half right above the porting, and sand down the end, then you have a hella tight 3 3/4" speedball barrel. If you have a dropforward, its like a pistol. I did not notice any decrease in accuracy!

try a lapco alumminum bigshot. My friend uses it and its great on accuracy. You can find them for $50 or cheaper

dude just get the terminator
a J&J would be good but it is better with smaller bore paint
the terminator is great for the paint you use

Definatley go for the Terminator or the Lapco Big Shot. Both work excellent.

I'd go with a J&J Ceramic, cheap & accurate. Works fairly well with Zap paint as well.
I haven't used the Terminator, but I have used a Nite Stik on a Spyder. Nice performance.

J&J defintely. Don't get me started on the reasons. (If I get another barrel as a backup, for my flatline, I'm goin' with the J&J.)

I have a BigShot. I love it.
I couldnt choose between that or the J&J, so I went with the Big Shot because
A) Its black, the J&J is grey. My gun is black.
B) Its made by Lapco. I already have a Lapco DF and it matches. Haha, im sort of anal about things like that.
The Big Shot is great though!
