    It really doesnt make that much of a difference... just pick the one you think looks better.

      well i think it does matter,

      the all american is ported the whole way down,

      where the teardrop is only ported the last 4"

      so i say teardrop all the way.


      from the judge in the WDP v Sp case.... " i find it significant that aside from a somewhat limited notebook produced by gaston, the four named inventors offer NO documentation of there work or there contributions to the conception or reduction to practice of the claimed invention"

        I like the look of the teardrop, but the all american has its place on some guns. You may notice slightly quieter operation and slightly worse efficiency on the all american, especially in one of the longer tips

            If you are looking for quiet, get the AA, if you are looking for a barrel that clears well after breaking a ball, get the Teardrop. The teardrop shape on the holes pulls paint away from the porting and clears better. Even with the LX in my mag, I have had paint break half way down the barrel and it cleared after a few shots. The AA clears ok, but not as well, however it is quieter on most markers. I have and use both. AA on my tippman and a freak teardrop on both tippman and mag.
            Now, that said, the 18" teardrop freak is by far the quietest barrel. I am thinking that the longer the teardrop the quieter, as with the AA. I don't have the same length AA and Teardrop to test side by side.

              I think the teardrop is more asthetically pleasing. The AA, to me, just looks like what it is; drilled holes.
              Having said that, I have a black 14" teardrop tip for sale

                New Freak barrel.

                Try the new Falonian Tube barrel AA just released. It is awsome!

                  Now these are some pretty crazy freak tips. I like the Bigshot out of them. I also like the Boomstick which i am thinking about getting.

                  I have a teardrop. It looks nice and it also cleans after breaks well. It is fairly quiet too.
