Well im trying to decide what dragon to get, so my question is how good is the stock barrel on the lcd and is it ported, it looks like they put some time in it because its 2 piece but i dont no.

I wouldnt go with lcd u just spend money on full auto and fire modes that u cant use on most paintball fields. You can just get black dragun basic wich is set on semi-auto mode and save money Basic will cost u $115-$140(depending where you buy) and with the money you saved get a good aftermarket barrel(wich will be better then stock lcd barrel)

I agree. You will never use the full auto mode, and almost all stock barrels suck regardless of the gun. The Black Dragun Basic is $117.95 and the LCD is $197.95 at www.paintballgateway.com
That means you save $80 bucks at the cost of only fireing modes and a bottomline reg (vs. the LCD having an inline reg, which is a reg in the foregrip). for $80 you could get a Dye Stainless Steel barrel at www.paintballgear.com which is what I have and its a really good barrel. Regardless of what people say, all porting on a barrel does is reduce sound. The myth about ball spin is bogus, you actually do NOT want the ball to spin, unless its backspin so it will go farther. The thing that separates barrels from each other is bore size and honing. Dye makes the best barrels in my opinion.

well, i was just wondering, so im decide that im going to buy a black black dragun basic, 68 3000 psi crossife nitro tank, and a stanless steel lapco bigshot barrel. Then all the money i get im putting in a bank a ccount and im not going to take any out, and then probably in a year ill have enough for and angel with a nice air system and hopper

dont forget the 12v revvy for your black dragun even thought its only semi auto, the tirgger is so short that u outshoot the regular hopper in no time and chop balls..
