I have a Bigshot and it is a very good barrel. Get a 12" or 14" barrel. Anything else will just get in the way. Check out my post on the CP barrel s for $38.95 :D What a deal:D

The ultralight is a boomstick and it's around $84 bucks, thats under 100.

A bigshot is more accurate than a boomstick. I still think that the ultralite is the best DYE barrel. However, for some reasons DYE never sends their barrels to anyone who is doing a performance test. That is one reason that I will never buy one. Well I take that back, at one point in time I had a Excel, it was the most sorry excuse for an aftermarket barrel.

Get a Dye Stainless from Predator Paintball or XPaintball online for 55$ plus shipping, I love mine, tight groups and no breakage.

I've always like the Bigshot, they just look pretty cool. How do they shoot? I've got a DYE Aluminum. Very nice barrel, light, accurate, I'm sticking with this for a while.
