Ceramic or metal barrels?

Which do you prefer, I've only tried 1 custom metal barrel since I'm still new to paitball and it was Lapco bigshot 14" on my brothers tippman and its great.

And down sides of either/ strenghts?

Carbon fiber.

It doesn't matter as much as how well it matches with your paint-to-bore match.

The J&J Ceramic barrels are only coated on the inside with ceramic, they are not made entirely out of it.

Yup I was looking at a cp 1 piece, or the j&j.

CP makes great barrels. Although this should be in the barrel section.

I second the carbon fiber.

Should be in the Barrels and Paint section. Personally I love carbon fiber, though it is a bit pricy.

Never had trouble with a J&J barrel, plus the ceramic cleans very easily. J&J is great for people who want a quality product that isn't the Nike of paintball.

Carbon fiber is too expensive for the measly advantage it adds, so metal is my favorite. Ceramic really isn't better than aluminum in my experiences.

I second this. There arent any "true" ceramic barrels out there. Simply because they wouldnt stand up. Even a polymer ceramic wouldnt be durable enough.
Barrels such as the J&J only have a thin layer of ceramics lining the inside of the bore.

And while the J&J Ceramic, or S2 are both really good barrels that shoot fairly well, the Cp does have a bit better accuracy.
