[QuiksilverMV]

Which is better?

PLEASE VOTE!!!!

[Helmut]

Read reviews.

[STO Balla 22]

Neither! CP 1 Piece, J&J Ceramic or Lapco Bigshot. Period.

[PeYToN-SS]

STAY AWAY FROM THE FLATLINE

Sry about the caps, just trying to get a point accross.

[un4givnpb]

this site is called paintball REVIEW for a reason. Read reviews. IMO i would go with none of those, but the teardrop or CP1 piece...

[Superbeast]

d) none of the above

Here is what I said in the Tippmann forum where you asked the same thing:

First of all, this should be in the barrel and paint forum. Second of all, I wouldn't get any of those. My ranking would be:
Custom Products 1 Piece - Accurate and low cost, very customizable
Lapco Bigshot - Accurate and low cost
J&J Ceramic - Accurate, quiet, can shoot though breaks, very low cost

[Mojo]

The Smart Parts Progressive is a really nice barrel, I'd get that one. :tup:

Yes, but for cheaper the progressive is a good choice, it's like a teardrop but with less porting.

[chibissj]

it's got the same amount of porting...just a different porting design.

(when talking about progressive against the teardrop)

[hybrid-sniper]

Progressive, my sister has one and its pretty nice.
Better then the flatline and STAY AWAY FROM CMI, their barrels are very crappy.

[SonixShooter357]

I actually polished a CMI thunder pig and ported it, but that is a lot of work. GO for a cp 1 piece

[clown_13_2001]

Don't get a cmi. IMO it is worse than the stock barrel. The only thing I like about it are the colors. They look really good on a gun, but perform horribly.

[Ares - II]

this is pointless cause people posting here havent owned or used all the barrels,

my interpretation of being able to judge a barrel is playing a few games with it, and doing target shooting. then you can judge it against other barrels you test. Otherwise its pointless

There are things called periods you are supposed to put into sentences. . <----------------that is what they look like. They help the reader figure out what you are saying and also not make you look like a retard. WORD OF ADVICE.

[STO Balla 22]

Amen, Clown. Please try to conserve our brain cells and use periods.

I hate it when people don't use periods. I can't flow with the paragraph, it gets all jumbled. Maybe he just hasn't had enough english class.

Sry about the caps, just trying to get a point accross. You people are HOPELESS!!!

Edit: Forgot those dang slash-thingies!

[dice23]

i get confused when people dont put periods. but anyway i wouldnt go with the flatline. when i used it i curved like my stock tippmann barrel.l it also gets confusing to put together and it messes with the velocity. it makes ur gun look ugly too

[STO Balla 22]

The Flatline is also hard to clean, overpriced, loud, not that accurate, and it looks horrible.

[buckie]

amen to that .(period)

Haha, that is kind of sarcastic, don't you think?

[dice23]

sorry king faruk. but my school just ended and i really dont need anymore teachers.
and the guy at the proshop installed it. he threw away the manual. he's pretty stupid

[dice23]

Yes, sadly, paintball is full of idiots. But that's a whole different topic.

[buckie]

[buckie]

they are inacurate. lol installed correctly or not backspin only makes ur ball go futher not make it more acurate. ooo and i have played with one installed correctly personlity didnt like it.

Its funny how u people manage to bash/flame everything , on the threads people make, even the creators. We know you(everyone) have opinions, but they dont always need to be herd and you need to present your opinions differently.

If you have a problem with somone not using periods, Send themn a PM we dont need to see it on a thread about barrels.

As far as barrels go,
A barrel is a barrel, Its what you like not what people like.
Most barrels are pretty decent if its not stock usually it won't suck.

So dear Mr. Thread Creator Get what you like, and Hopefully youve learned your lesson on asking people what they like.

Also the Thread creator asked

Which is better?

I dont think the answer requires bashing of the other barrels.

Edit: And I wouldn't really call it "flaming." It's more of an "intense argument."

A barrel is a barrel, Its what you like not what people like.
Go read Teuf's Preference is a Crock thread in the General Paintball Talk Forum, and tell me that. Ok, if it's what you like and not what everyone else likes, then go buy a crappy barrel...if it's all preference, why should we even have PBreview? Because it's not all preference, some barrels actually are better than others, and some aftermarket barrels really are bad, some just as bad as the stock barrel.
