I have a hundred bucks to spare on paintball in general. I was thinking about getting a new barrel since the A-5 Flatline can be very fickle. My Choices are:

Lapco Bead Blasted Snapshot Barrel: Around 85 bucks

Stiffi 12 inch: Spend a little extra cash here, they run around 110 to 120 bucks

Hammerhead Dominator Barrel: 60-70 Bucks

Or should i spend the cash on other equipment/upgrades?

Just need some help deciding. So post your opinion.

I would reccommend either a 14" stiffi, or a freak kit (or freak jr. if your looking to save money, same thing just less inserts) or a powerlyte sceptor kit. Remember if youre looking for accuracy, no matter how high quality your barrel is, if the paint and the bore size dont match up well enough, you will not shoot straight. That is why if you truly want accuracy, a kit is the way to go. If you want a cheaper kit, you could even get an evil pipe kit.

alright, so forget about mr douche bag over there. get out and play our ass off. I would get a kit like timmo said. i would recomend the freak jr. it comes with less inserts but if you ever think you need better bore to paint match, you can always spend 10 bucks and get another insert rather than spending 30-80 on a whole new barrel

Hmmmm...taking a look at the Freak Jr. Mini Kit i think i just made up my mind. How does the Freak Jr. Kit compare to a Stiffi Barrel 12 Inch (Not in a Kit)???

well stiffi barrels are really accurate. but if your paint doesnt match up with the barrel right, its gonna go everywhere.

great choice neumann, you will not be disappointed. Matching bore sizes ensures straight shooting paint, and a self cleaning barrel.
