Mid Level Barrels

[DontKillWhitey]

Witch Barrel is the Most accurate.

[Super Nick]

Those barrels will all be about the same accuracy wise, as long as you have good paint to barrel match.

[PiranhaPro]

Accuracy is all in the paint/barrel match.

As long as the barrel isnt warped, and is consistant bore siz all the way through, they will all be just as accurate with the right match

[compadre7]

Yeah, paint to barrel match determines the accuracy, distance, etc.

[Snyper731]

I think either the J&J or the terminator. A guy i play with has a terminator and its QUIET! Also accurate. The J&J looks good and ceramics are a unique material they will last a long time and there isnt a lot of friction so it will shoot better. And as everybody else said (but they shoulda said more i think)paint/bore match needs to be good.

After firing HP and LP guns, I have to disagree with this. LP makes quite the difference when it comes to accuracy. If you run at a low pressure, the deformation of the ball will be little, and thus the ball will be more round coming out of the barrel then if a HP gun fired the ball. No, paint to barrel matches do not determine your distance... Well, not having it fire further than any other gun if they were chronographing ath the same velocity. :)

[PiranhaPro]

Shhhh, were talking barrels, not setups, i understand a LP setup is has less of a hit on the ball, making less deformation, and thus providing more accurate shots, i know this, but when its just barrels, as long as the paint match is good no barrel will be more accurate, unless it is warped or isnt consistant.:)

Xcel by far its bore is large and has lots of porting to make the balls go accurate.

[Super Nick]

The porting in the barrel doesn't help the balls fly more accurately. All it does is make the barrel more quiet.

Like nick said, porting does nothing but make it quiet, and large bore isnt too good, its hard to find a good paint match

[Thor the Mighty]

why dont you get a nyte stykk? these are great barrels for 39 bucks!

[Hsuve]

Another $10 and you got yourself a CP :)

[Defenestrator]

the terminator is horrible and the Smart Parts has to much porting which you can't use if u want to go Low pressure in future.

What are you talking about? I have a Terminator and it's awesome.

[pr0kch0p]

wut about CP barrels?

BTW, my bro has a terminator and i am not impressed by it.

In hp Guns paint mach is just as important if not more so in hp guns the muzzel velosity is typically greater thus causes much greater friction wear and imperfections would make it so that the paint hasmuch hiher chances of breakage. Which in turn would make your gun less accurate. For hp guns i recomend the j&j because it has the teflon coating on the inside causing the least amount of friction against the pb as for paint Pmi Premium is an excelent match for the j&j

[Hsuve]

Ummmm... I'm pretty sure that in your first sentance that you put HP instead of LP, it's kind of difficult for me to tell which one you're talking about...

[orryn]

Personally I would get none of those barrels. I know you are looking for a mid range barrel, but I would actually suggest spending a little more money and getting a high level barrel like a carbon fiber, SPAA or boomstick. I say this because if you get a really good barrel then you probably will never need to get a new barrel. In the long run it will save you money. Also those barrels will have much better performance than the other barrels. That is my two cents. :)

[JesterDude15]

DONT get a Terminator!!!!

I had one on my Spyder and there was 0 and that is no improvement over the stock barrel AT ALL!!!!!

Get a JJ Ceremic, the insides are coated with ceramic so as the ball leave the barrel it does not gather as much friction.

[CDietz]

I have to disagree with you, the terminator is a half decent barrel. It isnt that bad. Actually its pretty accurate. But, J&J has my vote

[Fixxxer76]

don't get any of them; get a bigshot. Unless you want it to be quiet; then get the J&J. But for best accuracy, bigshot.

[Super Nick]

What you should do is determine what kind of paint you're going to be shooting the most, then buy a barrel that matches the paint size. I would do this because you're going to be spending a lot more on paint then you will on the barrel, so just buy a barrel that works well with your paint.

[Evilcrayonusa]

Yeah the one should read lp

[Hsuve]

Which one? :(

[Evilcrayonusa]

In hp Guns paint match is just as important if not more so. In hp guns the muzzel velosity is typically greater thus, causes much greater friction wear. Imperfections in miss matched paint would make it so that the paint has a much higher chance of breakage. Which in turn would make your gun less accurate. For hp guns i recomend the j&j because it has the teflon coating on the inside causing the least amount of friction against the pb, as for paint Pmi Premium is an excelent match for the j&j

[Evilcrayonusa]

Heh i used grammer and yes i meant hp in both

[JesterDude15]

JJs Rock

[I win]

All in all Terminator Has the best reviews hehe

[JesterDude15]

People can be ignorant.

I HATE my Terminator barrel.

Who cares about reviews. I own the barrel, they probably do to, they just prolly have not tried anything better.

[Evilcrayonusa]

J&J ceramics Just do

[SilverBullet]

EvilCrayon. How can you say that the muzzle velocity of hp guns is higher than lp guns. The velocity is always adjusted so that it is the same. Therefore, you can only say that with a given amount of gas, hp can accelerate paintballs to higher velocity's than lp. I, however, would have to disagree with this also. Most people agree that a paintball is accelerated to muzzle velocity or thereabouts in about the first 6" of a barrel. Although this is probably referring to hp setups, lp barrels should easily be able to acheive the same velocity with the same amount of gas with even a 10" barrel. The only problem with lp is that it takes more time (Impulse = Force X Time) and therefore distance to create acceleration. As I stated, the length of most paintball barrels would allow for this if only they were not ported. In ported barrels, the gas escapes, and thus the pressure and force decreases subtantially behind the ball. At a certain point, the force of friction (against barrel and air) exceeds propelling force, and the ball decelerates. That is why, especially with ported barrels, shorter barrels are much more gas efficient.

We have a Collage Grad here!!!! :)

[braiden1835]

Taso eliminators are awesome

[SIGSays]

ummm......... ever hear anything about a lyte stick. they say it's made my 32 degrees. i'll get some pics really quick. and it's 20 dollars.

[orryn]

yea, nyte stick, http://www.32ice.com/html/barrels/nyte.html

[Super Nick]

Sig, why did you post in this thread? No one had posted in it for almost a month, and it looks like whoever started this thread got plenty of help.

[SIGSays]

oops sorry... didn't notice. sorry again. and no it's not a nyte stikk. it's a lyte stick. i'm not with it today.

[PiranhaPro]

Actually it IS the nyte stick...

[Knightraptor]

Actually there is a barrel called a lyte stick its a little different from a nyte stick but the only one i have seen is for the stingray LOL. And a PMI Razzor barrel is a pretty good barrel for the price.

[Letchworth40]

GET A LAPCO. Its as accurate as a boomstick but twice as loud. and its $50

[MuckRaker]

Moving to Barrels/Paint forum. Guys, please help out by putting stuff in the right forum.

Thanks.
