They shoot about the same. All high quality barrels will, with properly sized paint, shoot about as accurately as a paintball can be shot. I like the lapco because it is more efficient, cheaper, and IMO, it looks better.

Go with the lapco it's a sweet barrel. I love them both my mag and 98 classic have them.

I own a Lapco, its really nice it will shoot just as good if not better than the dye i also have a dye stainless so i know.

The Lapco is also cheaper:D

I had a horrible experience with my bigshot. Now I have a Dye SS and it shoots great.

Whatever you end up buying - get it in aluminum. Unless you've got huge bulging muscles or something. (unlike me) Your arms will thank you for leaving the extra .3-.8 pounds on the shelf. Aluminum shoots the same and costs less, too. I've had good times with a lapco and the all american, but I don't much care for my 2 piece J&J. Maybe it's just me.

Dont get a boomstick unless you want to confine yourself to using only expencive paint!

SS barrels suck in cold weather. They get really cold and make the paint britte and the paint will break in you barrel

lapco sounds like a great barrel

i whould get a palmer barrel or a boa barrel b/c i have the boa and its awesome and the palmer barrel is supposed to be even better!

Armson pro's are very loud. Very. They shoot fine, but I don't see that the rifling makes them any more accurate. They clean as easily as anything else, but can't shoot through breaks. Go for the lapco over these, IMO.

Ok, True Story. I used to own a autococker and I had Tried our four Barrels...J&J 2 piece, Lapco SS, Dye Boomstick,& Dye SS. I shot the J&J for awhile, thought is was wicked accurate, then I broke a ball. I sold that right away. Bought the boomstick and I got what I wanted, after I broke a ball it cleaned itself so good. I still wasn't statisfied. I love my Lapco I had. So I decided to buy another SS barrel, Bought the 14 inch Dye SS and thought that was FREAKING CRAZY, then I used it all day in a tourney and it wasn't as good as I thought. I came home from the Tourney and shot the rest of my left over paint in the backyard with my Lapco. Let me tell you, I kick myself in the butt everytime I think about that tourney and how I wish I used that barrel. It was so accurate and then I tohught to myself, well what if I broke one? I farted around for a minute and then I shortstroke the cocker and broke a ball. I shot it 5 times and It was problay back to 93% accuracy. So my weapon of choice......LAPCO Had a Lapco Aluminum on my mag. That was pretty WET too.
