i'm thinknig about getting some sort of a kit so that i can improve my accuracy.

should i get the dye ultralite backs/fronts
available sizes: .684 .688 and .692

the freak kit
available sizes: .684 .687 .689 .691 .693 .695

or 4 stiffi barrels

available sizes: .687 .689 .691 .695

----

i want the ultralite back/fronts, but the available sizes aren't as widespread. is that a huge deal? are those 3 sizes good enough or do the in between sizes really matter?

get a scepter

but from those selections i would say 3 of the 4 stiffi's [not the .695]

the ultralite ones.. .684 is waaaay too small. but the other 2 would be fine

i guess id go with the ultralights

get the 3, then buy some other barrels to fill in the gaps

the ultralite is a very good barrel and with the different backs you cant go wrong and you should only need to use .688 and .692 and i dont care what pepole say but the freak is a good system i hate smart parts and all they stand for but i do love the freak sorry i know i should be ashamed and never play again but i have had a few barrels and used a few more and the freak is very good why not get an evil pipe they are the nuts

:D :cool:

What is everyone's opinion on a CP kit?

Many people like the CP kit. I think Havoc Online has one and he loves his last I heard. And RobAGD used to love em too and sells them and swears by them.

I use a Scepter and love that. Nice system for certain.

And I got one of these Edge kits too and love it as well. Similar to the CP in the way it works. For just over 100 bucks for 4 sized backs, tip and case thats a good deal and seems to be well made and shoot well for that money.

So take your pick!

From my experience, most paints fall within like 3, maybe 4 barrel sizes. I'd say go with the scepter. I have yet to hear a bad word about them.

sp can die

aren't cp kits slightly expensive? the full one is what, in the 300$ range?

I just bought my second edge kit from paintballdiscounters.com for 114 and they sent me 2 fronts for the price of 1 ! but that stays on this forum.
i strongly think you should consider the edge it is super cheap (as far as kits go) and the performance is awesome, and hey, you might be able to luck out like i did!

You can't. There is not a barrel kit that can improve accuracy.
