Opinions Please...

I'm getting back into paintball and I was just wondering what everyone thought about Titanium Longbow barrel or the Sly dual-carbon barrel. Back when I used to play the Longbow was one of the best barrels. So many have come out since then. So just give some opinions or information on what you think and/or know about them. Any information is appreciated...and thanks in advance

They still are good barrels, just freaking expensive! Basically a quality barrel from CP, Dye or any other large name company will be on par with each other. People will be telling you brand X is better than brand Y because they happen to own X and want to think they made the correct choice. However, if you want a tried and true barrel, the best one for a reasonable price is the Stiffi.

even though it's control bore is 1" or so long?

even though it's control bore is 1" or so long?IF you have an open bolt gun you can buy a single sized bore. A closed bolt gun will need a back that matches the size of the paint so that it doesn't roll down the barrel, in that case 1" is that is needed.

Intriguing, so if i were to get a, lets say, .696 barrel, and the paint i used that day was avg .688. the only thing it would do is hurt my effeciency? or would it also slightly effect accuracy? i remember reading stuff like balls bouncing around in a barrel, but that seems...hard to believe. after this question, i think i'll be straight.

*edit* except for...my local shop is out of stiffi's they're trying to get in the new mamba ones. anyone know a good site to get them from? if not, no biggie
