A 14in. or 16in. Smart Parts Teardrop or Empire Twister should do the trick.

All right. I'm not going to start the whole "sniper" debate (but there are no "sniper barrels" in paintball). For all barrels, if the balls leaves it at the same speed, it will travel the same distance. The only exception is the Flatline because of the backspin it puts on the ball.

If you have a Tippmann, I suggest a 12'' Teardrop, CP One Piece, or JJ Ceramic. The length of the barrel does not affect accuracy or range (after the first 8-10''). Infact, the longer the barrel the shorter the range because of the friction of the ball in the barrel.

^ That's your best best.


If I were you, I wouldn't expect to be able to shoot far and still have good accuracy. It just doesn't happen in paintball.

If you want to shoot far you can get a Flatline for your Tippmann, however I've used one and it wasn't accurate in the least bit. Your best bet is to get a decent 12-14" barrel some good quality paint that matches the bore size of your barrel and then don't be afraid to get up close and personal with your opponents.
