1. Anything 10" or bigger.
2. No.
3. Whatever paint matches the ID of the barrel.. (I think that most Boomsticks are .688 and AA's are .689..)

Anything that is over 10" is gonna be the same accuracy.

For the best straight shot, just match the bore size to the barrel.

Boomstick blows the AA out of the water in performance.

i think at this point the pinnacle of barrel technology has been reached by the top level barrels :p one may be "better" than the other but not drastically. just get the one you think looks better you cant go wrong either way.

The best barrel length is 12" - 14". ANything less and you're letting too much air escape and the ball doesn't have enough time to stablize in the barrel. Longer and you're wasting air to push the ball that extra few inches.

I don't know if one is better than the other but it seems to me that everyone and his brother thinks that this product is better than that product for this reason. Pick the barrel that you like for looks because I'm sure that you won't really notice that much of a difference betwee them.

The best paint to use? Pick a brand that fits the best and stick with it. ;)

Yes but from my own opinion, I have used and owned both, the boomstick is better.

Temo Vryce is correct on all accounts. If you are worried about paint to barrel fit for accuracy, you might want to look at a barrel kit. If you play diffrent fields that all run diffrent paint, this might be the way to go. Both Smart Parts and J&J make barrel kits that fit Mags.
