BoomStick QUESTION ?

[ZSigErik]

Ok, I am thinking about buying a boomy, what length do you recommend? Also, what kinda paint should I use, I use mainly marbs, and those have a great bore match with my current Dye Aluminum.

So anything tips you can hook me up with, would be nice, Thnx in Advance...

Lengths I would recomend depend on how/what you play?

[xmetal2001]

Get a 12" or shorter. Any longer is just added weight and looks sorta stupid(especially on a mag)

[Quiet]

10" for speedball is nice, I like to go a little longer for rec play like 14"
I'm doing circles around your 12"

[Load SM5]

I use all-stars with my boomy and they fly like darts.

[FeelTheRT]

hey, the longer the better!

I'd say 18" or 16" on a Mag since they are shorter.

18", thats reeaally long, may i ask why you like such long barrels?

[MrMag]

personally, i like my 14 since i can use it w/ speedball and rec ball. if u have a polished body like me, it look really good, cause it kinda molds w/ the body

Here's a thread that deals with barrel length that you may find useful.

you make it sound like it's 3 feet. The reason most people think 18" is too long is because on an Angel or Spyder, notice how the barrel dosn't even start until 3-4 inches away from your trigger. On Mags however, the barrel starts right above your trigger. So why not make up that extra length? It's much easier to shoot more accuratly with a longer barrel.

Thanks...

I think Im going to go with the 12, fits what I need, thnx again...

You make a good point with my stock barrel 11" i only see 7" sticking out of the gun. So if i where to get a 14".... 9" or so would stick out of the gun. I'll havta keep this in mind when i look for a barrel.

all rps paint (marbs, all stars etc.) seems to work very well with boomsticks. all dye barrels unless ortherwise noted are a .685 bore which is what the rps paint works well with. your marbs will match just as well with boomer as with your current dye barrel.

[spazzed]

IMO, marb's are the paint of the gods.

[ZSigErik]

Yeah, I love marbs, only paint i really trust, always keeps me going...

anyway, im ordering the bomy off of paintballgear, and they are out of stock, shux, oh well, guess ill wait...
