Dye vs. Armson

[jaronervin]

OK...I'm trying to get a new sniper barrel for my cocker, but I'm not sure if I want Dye 18" ultralight or an Armson 16" stealth? Specifically, which is more accurate? Which is quieter? Is either more durable? Overall, which one should I pick? Thanks, Jay

I wouldn't use a barrel over 14 inches. 16+ barrels use too much gas to propell the paintball and 10 inch barrel vs. a 18 inch barrel (the same type) will have the same accuracy.

For an Autococker, I would get a 14 inch Dye Ultralite. They seem good and the regular boomstick works great.

I forgot to mention...I am DEFINITELY getting one of these two guns. And no offense, but I don't need to hear all the bad sides to getting a longer barrel, so just stick with the two mentioned, please. Thanks

Doesnt really matter a long barrel wont give you less of an advantage really, just uses more gas. Whatever you feel is more comfortable. I would suggest getting the Dye ultralight barrel.

You'll notice there are a lot more reviews for the Dye barrels than there are for Armson. I suspect most of the people here haven't tried the latter. They sound great from what I've heard, but if you're looking for a proven performance barrel I think you'd do better with Dye.
