it all depends on what paint you shoot the most of.... and the paint fitting the barrel determines what barrel would be better from case to case of paintballs.....

I'm throwing my 2 cents with Virus. All the manufacturers build pretty nice barrels. The greatest difference you will get depends on the paint-barrel match.

If you use smaller paint, which usually means it's better ( This would include Team Colors and Proball) try a J&J Ceramic 14". Great barrel for smaller paint and light on your wallet. ($40-50) If you use some larger paint the Dye Xcel is a great value at 12", around 50-55

i like the way the big daddy shoots, but it only comes in long lengths, i think, so i would go with a 12" or 14" boomstick, but if the big daddy comes in 14" than go for it. plus, the big daddy looks sweet and the boomstick doesn't.

For the same price you can get your self 2 CP barrels or 2 Lapco barrels. I would highly recoment getting 2 barres for the price of one because they both shoot every bit as good as the broomstick and SP barrel, and you can get the 2 in diffrent bore sizes. Bore sizes is what really matters when i comes to barrels. You'll find you self in stiuations where you broom stick is to big or too small for the ball. With 2 barrels you won't have that problem so much, and with a freak you won't ever have that problem.

Yeah I agree with Poseidon... It's mainly about the paint to barrel match. Get some good paint that fits your barrel, and you should have pretty good accuracy :cool:
