Favorite barrel...

[alpha_q_up]

ive lately been using my stella, but i always seem to be going back to my redz pepperstick, idk what it is about the kit but i feel like my shots are on the money when i use it

My go to for years has been a Deadly Wind with freak. I now have a stupid amount of freak inserts and the newer empire freak kit so lots of combos and options. Just want to find a nice red tip to go with my Karni or Black Magic.

12"-14" Fibur-X with spiral porting and SS freak kit.

Back when I played the most, before Fibur-X, it was a matte black freak with AA tip. I was incredibly partial to the AA tips. Just bought another recently when I realized that I have several freak backs I could use and no tips! Not sure why I need 3 functional barrels...but these are not questions we should ask.

My favorite barrel is the old school OTP G-1 barrel with ring inserts. I've been shooting one now for 20+ years. It was one of the first (maybe the first) barrels with changeable bore inserts. I think the barrel shoots fantastically and it looks great.


On a Spyder though, it's a different story. The breech does not have enough material for the ring inserts and thus, OTP never made the style for Spyders. So, on Spyders my favorite barrel is an old school BOA Express. As with all BOA barrels, it's wonderfully made, looks elegant and simple, and teleports paintballs on target. It is phenomenal.

Lucky Un1tech. The full bore design with a threaded sleeve is neato. Ironically, it doesn't see much use lately.

I've started using whatever barrels I can get or currently have, as a proof of concept that most barrels are fine. And so far I haven't come across a bad barrel.

I loved my old armson stealth and dye ul titanium. They were my go-to combo for a long time until I got a set of freak inserts and a deadlywind fibure barrel. Now I dont use anything else.

Course, for my phantom the stock barrel from cci was always my favorite. I wish I could get an ac threaded version for my sniper.

[DavidBoren]

Just have a CCI barrel rethreaded for AC threads.

[pghp8ntballer]

David, I am fairly certain you would need to add metal to turn a phantom threaded barrel into a cocker threaded one.

[Falcon16]

For a single piece barrel I'd have to say my Lurker Eigenbarrel in .678. thing is a champ for playing pump which is my main style of play. Absolute tack driver.

That said I nomally use my CCM kit as paint fluctates if it's hot (which most times I play it is)

SP All Americans are my favourite - quiet and fairly accurate, normally, and all the porting helps with consistency.

I do like Boomsticks, for the aesthetic- I have one on my Angel LCD because of that. The stock Infinity barrel is just ugly on the 03 LCD LEs.

I've also grown partial to an Apex - I have an Apex2 tip on a modified stock barrel on my ICD 'Cat, and it's a ton of fun.

[DavidBoren]

The Empire 3-in-1 APEX barrel is one of the few barrels thin enough to fit my Arrow Precision Inferno... so I look forward to playing with an APEX. They look like fun.

[Jordan]

I'm still playing around with the backspin settings but on my last outing I was able to get an elimination that normally would have been out of range for me with it... made me very happy that day.

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

AESTHETIC

really all that matters. It could hurt accuracy. But it looks cool we will run it anyway. XD

[Pumpytrilly1]

Favorite has to be the older ss chrome freak backs with a nice spiral tip.

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Love the chrome

[Archdogg]

My favorite on my Blazer is 10 in brass single vent with wedging.
On my autococker its my 10 in fiber x barrel.
I just seem to be more accurate with a shorter barrel. I really love how the carbon fiber barrel feels like I don't even have a barrel on my marker.

[Scottybeans]

I use a deadlywind mostly but I’ve always been partial to the old ACI graffiti series barrels for some reason

[Lt. head-shot]

I run whatever freak barrel fits the paint, but for aestetics... WWA Aequitas, Lapco, and anything Carbon Fiber. Just picked up a BOA Snakebite for a build too, love the vintage looks of it.

Carter Whoosh is the only one that has ever made a "performance" difference for me. It makes the Emek go FULL Ninja....

[BrickHaus]

For my old tippmann a5 I recall LOVING my 32*whisper barrel. It eventually took a back seat to a laptop BS, but it was a length and asthetics change not performance.


Now a days its parabolic. I have his thin air kit so one barrel kit works on cockers and or ions. Its perfect for me, to hit the field with something cocker threaded, and mech ion as a back up.. and seeing the velocity jump on the chrono when swapping from most of my other barrel options was a huge factor in my loving them.

[SignOfZeta]

I like stock barrels with wedgits. I like them to match the gun.

Failing that, Lapco Bigshot or something brass and really long.
