For a High end semi gun what do you think is a good barrel? A Dye Xcel of a Dye Boomstick. I price differs by about $60. Is the boomstick wroth the extra $60 Or is the $40 Xcel good enough? Feedback please. My local paintball store is having a big sale and both of these will be cheaper. But I promised myself to spend a max $200 at the sale. Is the boomstick worth me not getting Expensive paint for cheap? :pissed:

Xcel is really loud. Its also aluminum, which is less accurate. The boomer is really worth the extra money, it gives you the more accurate stainless back, the lets it drift out with the aluminum.

Yeah, screw the XCell. Go with the Boomy or you might want to try the DYE Aluminum, nice barrel.

How could making it aluminum be less accurate mostly all barrels are made out of aluminum :rolleyes:
I honestly dont think the boomer is worth the money. Take for example the Bigshot or CP those are excellent barrels and well worth the money and is Much cheaper then the boomer.

Do even think about X-cel.
if you wanna go spend less go with CP BARREL There the same price and they shoot JUST AS GOOD AS A BOOMER. (they dont look as good:() BUT for performance CP is Awsome. I dunno about bigshot.
Just look at it this way alot of pros use CP alot more use DYE But Ive havent seen people use bigshots? So it a toss up over Name BRAND or GENREIC.
If you dont wanna spend 180CAN bucks on a boomer go with cp. I personally own a Dye aluimuim and im not impressed:( although Ive had a Boomer and it shoots great but not for 180. I own a freak heheh but if i didnt have a freak id stock up on CP BABY.
my 2 cents
