I Am In A Predictament

[pr0kch0p]

Should i wait until more Lapco Bigshots come into stock or should i get a Smart Parts All American?

The All American is a little more than i want to spend but i think it is money well spent. I will be shooting mostly PMI Premiums, which barrel will be better?

Suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.

[VeNoM]

do you have enough money to get the smarts parts til the big shots get in? that would be the best bet cuz the smarts parts are definately gonna be quiter then you have a quiet barrel and an accurate barrel. if it were me i would wait for the big shot because i dont know where id be with out mine I LOVE IT! BIG SHOTS RULE!!!!

[pr0kch0p]

i have enough, but i need something that will last until september because i cant buy any more pb stuff until then :(

[VeNoM]

what kind of gun is it for? ya i geuss if i were you i would just get tha SP than get the big shot in september. . . its still a nice barrel and it will be fine for the mean time, have you checked all stores for them? i bet you could fine one somewhere if you tried. . . in fact i ll try and ill let you know if i find one. . . NOW IM ON A MISSION!! MISSION - FIND BIG SHOT FOR pr0kch0p heheh

hmmmm well i found one here http://www.bbtpaintball.com/barrels.html but i didnt see a spyder option, do raptor barrels fit spyders? ill keep lookin just in case. . . they are cheap there too only $48.49 (steal deal man!)

[VeNoM]

http://www.paintballgear.net/actionvillage/lapstainstee6.html only has the stainless steel ones in. . . that wou be better anywa but they are more expensive they want $79.99 for them there plus ya gotta shipping and shiii. . . poop. but that barrel WOULD RULE!!

[pr0kch0p]

i know i can get a stainless, but i just want the aluminum one, and yes i have checked every store imaginable.

its for a spyder xtra as seen in my sig :p

i dont want to buy another barrel, so i will call up g3pb.com tommorow and see when they will have more in, hopefully by next week

so no one likes the all american?? i have read a lot of good things about it and it seems like a worthy barrel! anyone want to help me out??

i guess none of you have shot the SP barrels eh. I have tried both. and the Lapco is hella loud! the SP barrel is very quiet, and it's just as accurate as the lapco, if not better. It's a great barrel.

[Jake]

Yeah but in speedball does it really matter how loud your barrel is? If you play in the woods, then I can hit people in 3 shots with my Lapco so it is not really a problem.

[pr0kch0p]

well, i guess i am just gonna wait for the bigshot to come into stock. most places say it will be about a week or two.

the splatter times did a very good and very fair test that compared the ACCURACY of differnet barrels among them a DYE, LAPCO, Smart Parts, and a Bob Long. needless to say the lapco ruled! this alone is what convinced me to get the lapco and it has proven to be very accurate (the best barrel i have ever shot!) here is the test http://www.paintballtimes.com/barrelcomparison.htm

this is the table of results if you dont want to go to the link and u just want the results-
Table results:

Barrel 20 ft 50 ft 80 ft
Dye 5.5" 13.5" 25.0"
Smart Parts 8.5" 18.0" 28.0"
Bob Long 4.0" 10.5" 26.0"
Lapco 4.0" 6.5" 17.0"

this is how big the pattern was at the different distances. look the lapco had a 10" smaller pattern at 80ft. !!! LAPCO RULES!!!

HAH!
i tried to order a bigshot right before i became a member on this sight, must be almost 4 months by now the lathes are broke, they told me it was out of stock and they would have them in a week! 4 months ago! i'd go for the SP, from what i hear, great barrel

[Creek]

The SP AA is a great barrel,alot too do with how a barrel is performs is paint too barrel match.

[Richy_C]

I say all amreican. I think it is an all around sweet arse barrel. And beside, the only reason the lapco won that test is because the paint fit it and no other barrels as well.

[Snyper731]

Someone on the buying/selling forum is selling theirs, check it out.

did you read the test? the set it up so that the paint would match. and besides i dont think that it would make a 10" diameter difference because the paint was .001 (the difference wouldnt have been more than that)
