    boom sticks are nice, but if you own more than one gun, and play at alot of different places go with the freak.

      one word...Freak. If your willing to pay 200 dollars on a barrel that is. You can get them in any size and they fit any paint. Say u want a 12in barrel but also a 16in barrel. Buy the frak kit and the front that makes um 16in. perfect barrel.Smart Parts is also known for having really good barrels too.

          I like my Lapco barrels. Very efficient, accurate, and they even look good! The best part is that they are only 1/2 the price of a boomy!

            Boomsticks are GREAT if your using 1-2 kinds of same bore paint.

            However, if your like me and run lotsa different sizes, go with a Freak. Although I tend to think the accuracy is a lil worse, you make up for it with being able to always size your paint.

              If you are set on the gun you have, then i would go with the CP kit or the J&J kit. Both make excellent barrels and you have the ability to adjust for paint sizes without having 6 boomsticks laying around.

                but for a freak and a whole set of inserts are twice as much as a boom stick. is there are major accuracy diffrence? and what about gas efficiency and range? all that porting will make it quiet but very gas ineffecient and shorten the range

                  barrels are nothing more than metal. they accuracy is in the matching of paint to barrel bores, if you shoot similar sized paint, then a boomstick is ok, personally, I noticed no difference between my old boomy and my J&J. you pay more for a logo. It isnt a fashion show,

                          A big shot and a autospirit, have yet to come across paint that wouldn't fit either.

                            Well I currently have a Smart Parts AA, and a CP One Piece, and the MM stock barrel, and my stock barrel works the best which is kind of weird.

                              wow the response for freak is amazing. maby its like every one here plays with one like every one in the tippmann forums plays with a big shot. but as i ask again is it gas efficient becuse all that porting cuts its size in half. and that will decrease range and accuracy.
