need special barrel

[Korndog]

If anyone has a barrel that is 4 inches or less for a 98 custom.
If u do reply
I need one BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pEnNyWiSdOm225]

Your only hope is to get it custom made. Or cut one down yourself.


But why would you ant something that short? it would be terribly inefficient.

Jet City makes 5" barrels for 98c's.

Thank you very much, that is like exactly what im looking 4

You can easily shorten one with a pipe cutter thinger.

penny, they would be more efficeint becasue the ball has to travel in the barrel less, but more inaccurate

It would have horrid accuracy, and the ball wouldnt be able to gain its full velocity i dont think with only 4 or 5 inches.

What do you mean more efficient? It would be less efficient. Efficiency is defined as being able to function without waste. In this case lots of air would be wasted in that the paintball wouldn't be going its max speed, and have its greatest accuracy through a 4-5" barrel.

i think you'll get A LOT of floaters if you had a barrel that short....and what do you mean you want it for tournies only????

Yea i only want that barrel for tournies

[aznpsycho]

what i meant was that do you want to use it for airball?? if so, you're gonna need something longer to push into the bunkers more....

I just love short barrel because i hate smacking the side of a bunker or something like i do with long barrels.
U know what I mean

[aznpsycho]

i say live with it cuz u won't be able to aim much with a 4'' barrel. or change your style of play...cuz if you're "smacking" into a bunker everytime, then something's wrong.

You'd really be better off with like a 10" CP or a 8" Equation barrel. They perform much better than that one, but they are a bit longer. Seriously, those barrels aren't worth their weight in used kleenex. My friend bought one off ebay. Total waste of money.

If you smack into bunkers with, say, a 12" barrel, you need to reevaluate the way you play......


There is no reason you should have trouble with a anything shorter than 1 16" maybe 14" for some people.

I was talking about a 16 inch barrel

[STO Balla 22]

You're kinda digging yourself into a hole man, just get a longer barrel, listen to the smart people you're talking to (I know for a fact that penny and kowz know a lot about paintball) and get on with your life.

so you don't like the 16", so you are going straight down to a 4" barrel? not smart.

Just get something like a 12" and you will be fine.

And thanks for the compliment STOBalla

[aznpsycho]

i feel left out..... =(

[STO Balla 22]

Haha sorry psycho, I just haven't seen a whole lot of your posts. And penny- you are welcome.
