new to paintball- play woodsball only- What is a couple of the best barrel upgrades for a spyder mr1. The boys w/ the tippmann flatlines have way better range and accuracy than my spyder and I need to catch up.

Get a Apex Barrel it works likes the Flatline but works better

They have range but not accuracy. At those ranges you get a 4 foot spread and most likely you'll get a bounce or it won't make it to the target if it hits your target at all. Just get a normal barrel and a good paint to barrel bore size match and that will ensure the best accuracy and distances. But overall a normal barreled marker will only shoot around 125 feet effective range. So you decide if you want accuracy or distance. If you want accuracy get something like a 14" J&J Ceramic barrel or a CP 1-piece barrel and for the CP 1-piece get a .689 size paintball. I believe the J&J is .688. If you want distance get the BT Apex because that's the only other barrel that adds range besides the Flatline which is only avaiable to Tippmann's. But why stay back and pray you get a shot when you can sneak up and bunker the guy? It's more sayisfying. :)
