These awesome two-piece barrels combine the best of both worlds. A Teardrop front section and All American back make an extremely long ranging and accurate tournament barrel.

Review:
I have got to say, this is one of the best barrels on the market today. This was one of Smart Parts first barrels and they did a damn fine job. With the All-American front and the great price, you can't go wrong. Some places overprice it at over $100's. If you look hard, you can find it selling for the $40's when it is retailed at $120!!!! The greatest thing about this barrel is it came with my gun when I first bought a used Spyder Shutter from my friend with this barrel on it. I got the whole gun for less than the barrel is retail! I then got a Spyder to Impulse barrel adapter and slapped it on my Impy. Even though I play in tournaments, this barrel holds its own as one of the best barrels on the market.
Conclusion:
One of the best barrels on the market. If you are in the market for a cheap, straight barrel from a top leader in paintball, then the Smart Parts Big Daddy barrel is for you. Now go and buy it!
yes.. my stock barrell which sucked miserably even when I crankked the velocity high
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98, with a 16inch big daddy barrel.
Recommended Paintballs:
So far ive used cores, (nobodyhas heard of because they cost 33 dollars a case) they worked allright but left alot of damage in my barrel, along with debris. I then bought a case of nelson hot spots, and they worked great
Strengths:
More acurate, tighter spread, further distance, looks great, great price
Weaknesses:
Scrathes outside easily , adn the inside gets dirty qucik dont know why
Review:
This barrel is better than any other barrel out there especially because of the fact they are selling it on ebay in the hundreds, so I got mine for 33.00 plus 5.50 for shipping. A total of 37.50, which would retail offline at 100 dollars. i can kick serious arse with this barrel. Mines a little long so that makes it hard to hide in tight spaces, and swinging it around trees is a little difficult. It beats that flat line have fun, and kill your enemy.
Conclusion:
Great barrel, great price, cant find a better deal, or a better barrel. I give it a TEN because its darn good.
Smart Parts Progressive 14"-The Big Daddy Shoots allot like the progressive but whenever i break balls in the big daddy(which is rare) i can keep on shooting the same w/out cleaning it unlike the progressive.
Marker Setup:
Tippy 98 Custom, 12 oz CO2, 12" Big Daddy, cmi 4200psi remote, commando style adjustable stock, expansion chamber
Recommended Paintballs:
i would probably recomend using Draxxus Blaze because thats the best paint the ive used. But most the time i try and get the cheapest paint i can get because like i said before i barely ever break balls in this barrel.
Strengths:
Wicked power, awesome accuracy
Weaknesses:
weakness:portholes. Get a Bari Sax Mouthpiece Swab to clean em out.
Review:
The only bad thing that i can say about this is the small problem about the portholes but i solved that. I got a silver 12" and i think I makes my gun look tite, especially if your gun is silver. I got this barrel for 33 dollars off ebay and its one of the best barrels ive used so its an awesome deal for a great barrel. Very recommended to everyone.
Conclusion:
Damn just get it. Damn nice barrel, Damn nice looks, and Damn nice price.

Review:
this is an outstanding barrel. it looks awesome on my e-99. i got the 14 inch so it is light and maneuverable. it gets great distance and is very accurate compared to my stock barrel. it has made a huge difference in my game. i can hit people from long distances consistently. it is extremely quiet compared to my stock barrel. i got mine for a great price.($40)
Conclusion:
a great buy. it is well worth the $40 that i paid for it. this is a great upgrade. i recommend it as a first upgrade. the accuracy and distance compared to the stock barrel is great. i might have even paid $109 for it like some of the other people did. i love it

98 Custom, Tippman X Chamber, Smart Parts Big Daddy Barrel
Recommended Paintballs:
RPS Superswirl, Dusk
Strengths:
Improved the guns accuracy over the stock barrel.
Weaknesses:
None so far.
Review:
The barrel made a tremendous improvement in the guns accuracy compared to the stock barrel, no ball breakage problems, nice black color, cheap on ebay and it looks great on my Tippman. Barrel is not difficult to clean, run the squeege through, dry fire a couple times to clean the ports and off you go.
Conclusion:
Although I haven't used many barrels I love this one. Another great product from Smart Parts. I would without hesitation recommend this barrel to anyone, can't go wrong for the price.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
None what so ever
Review:
My buddies bought this barrel 3 days ago on eBay for $40 and is very happy with it. He has a Tippmann Nitro with Big Daddy 14" Black Barrel and12 volt revvy. He hasn't broken one ball in any brand except Zap. He tried 'em all only zaps busted. He said, "This is the best f**kin' barrel I've used.....it's better than the Boomstick on my gun, and I will never change. He has no problems out of this barrel, he loves it.
Conclusion:
Big Daddy, Big Daddy, Big Daddy all the way. My buddies said that. Snipers, Active players, whatever....get it.

Review:
i bought this barrel as the first uprgrade for my electra (read my review, its like the first one) and it is absolutely perfect. this is one of the best things u can buy for your gun. it can make a huge difference. overall i hav seen very little ball breaks and it wasnt the barrels fault.
Conclusion:
i would definitely buy this product b/c it makes a huge difference and it is well worth the 40 dolla i payed for it. good luck finding it cheaper suckers. buy this it is great product. it has often been compared to the boomstick (which is highly overrated) and i think it deserves to be.
older generation J&J Ceramic Barrel - the greenish colored one.
Marker Setup:
Bob Long Defiant
Rico AK
14" Big Daddy barrel
Nitro Duck 68/4500 Tuff Skin
Recommended Paintballs:
I've only tested it w/ Diablo Dusk and it was amazing, think what would it do w/ better paint.
Strengths:
Quiet when shooting w/ paint.
The color matches my blue to purple Defiant
Extremely accurate
Weaknesses:
Looks - a bit bulky
Weight - a bit heavier
A bit louder when shooting blanks
Review:
I've read the reviews here in PBR so I posted a wanted ad and managed to get this for ONLY $40 shipped. It's the best barrel I've ever tried so far. It really cures my accuracy problems that I've had w/ the ceramic. Hopefully this barrel can perform during actual play on the field. So far I've only used it for target practice in my backyard. It's very accurate, worthy to carry the name Smart Parts. I thought J&J were decent but this is waay better.
Conclusion:
The paint shoots strait, not that many balls curve and went the other way as w/ the J&J ceramic. I use this as my main barrel right now. If u have the money, get it, if not get the used one. A bit heavier than my ceramic, but performs way better.
