i would like to know if a small bore barrel or a big bore barrel is good for low pressure.

small bore is the best for low pressure. THere is less barrel space, so you use less psi. ALso, a barrel with little or no porting should be used with low pressure. Some examples are the LApco barrels, JJ ceramic, or hte AKA Javelin(small bore).

Does anyone know if the Carbon Fiber fits those prescriptions for a low pressure barrel?

depends on the paint...you want a tight fit...but not to tight as to break balls....your best bet is to have at least two different bore sizes....more so if you use feild paint and you don't know til you get there what you will be shooting...

but the key is to have very little porting....a muzzle break is fine...but try and get a barrel with little other porting...

go for a Lapco barrel or a JJ barrel. THose two are very gas efficient.

if you shoot like Hellfire or ALlstar, get the Autospirit, but ifyou shoot anything else, i.e. Marbs, premium, etc etc, get the bigshot. As for J and J, get the Ceramic. Very slick and accurate, as well as quiet
