i wouldnt get such a big barrel, if u want good accuracy, get a cocker, also dont get a 114ci tank, those r huge, dont get all this big stuff for a little gun. and im not sure about a 6+1 pack. id just get a 4 vertical, those r nice

LOL, thats not the story. the big barrel will have the same accuracy as say a 12" or a 14", but the longer the barrel, the more of a gas hog it is.


also dont get a 114ci tank, those r huge.

true, 114ci tanks are very big. in my opinion, if you want a big tank, get an 88ci.


and im not sure about a 6+1 pack. id just get a 4 vertical, those r nice [/B]

get a redz pack, they are some of the best.

Look me up

I once mentioned to you that you might want to look me up when you are ready...I said I would hook you up, and I can. Email me and we will work something out. Thanks

[MicrOMag]

Blah you guys all took the words right out of my mouth. My suggestion would be buy used.

But...but...I want new stuff you say

I say buy used to take advantage of the automags very poor resale value. Check the classifieds here, on www.pbnation.com www.paintballdojo.com www.pbreview.com www.completepaintball.com and http://www.pbubb.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ult...?ubb=forum&f=2

*lol* to this I can only say: better range and accuracy through help of elves ...

[theraidenproject]

thanks everyone for their opinions. i know a longer barrel does not increase accuarcy and is a gas hog, but a sp aa is a really good barrel and 16" is the only length i could find for that cheap. tunaman - i didn't forget about you. I'll try to email you tomorrow when i have some more time. I need to study for a major test now. Thanks again.

[SoupRman]

it all depends On the type of play you do. rec/woods games that last long I would stay with the 88 or 114. also if you play rec get the 6+1 and a remote. but if you were to play tourney you would get any one of the tanks, if you like to spray or like to play in tight, also a different pack.
and yes the longer AA barrel will use more gas. and because its a cocker or a mag doesn't change accuracy its the paint/barrel match. and try to order all from 1 store because shipping from all those places will end up to be $30+. but either than that good choice on the mag!

[theraidenproject]

micr0mag - ive had some not-to-good experience with paintball on ebay. also, to get more experiece with mags (this will be my first mag) i thought it would be better, and more fun, to put it together myself. I'll consider that though.

[theraidenproject]

one last thing before i sign off for the night, i wasnt really considering getting a 116 ci tank, i know how huge it is, i just copied and pasted part of my cheapest prices document and it was there, im not going to edit it out, though, in case someone who was going to buy it stumbles onto my thread and saves some $.

[DYE-BaLLeR]

what are you ppl talking about. its a known fact cockers are more accurate!mags can shoot faster and are smaller, and still accurate but not as accurateas a cocker.and a longer barrel does make things more accurate because it guides the ball and tells it where to go for a few more inches. once the ball gets out of the barrel it starts to move, it doesnt go in a straight line. a longer barrel will make it going in a straight line for more feet then a 10inch.

your welcome for my input

[Bartleby]

Just a few things it thought you guys might want cleared up for your own personal knowledge. Longer barrels are no more accurate than short ones, and are not gas hogs at all. In fact, they are the exact opposite. If you know your chemistry and physics you should be able to figure this one out.

The length of the barrel doens't matter nearly as much as the paint to barrel match. If the barel is much larger than the paint, then the ball will bounce around within the barrel giving it odd spins and causing it to go anything but straight. The whole guiding the ball thing is not true. The only reason it would give you that impression is becuase some people think that a longer barrel is easier and more accurate to SIGHT. To aim it. If you want real accuracy, get a good paint to barrel match. But what really comes next to that is the quality and material of the barrel. so keep an eye on what company you're buying from and what you want your barrel made of.

When it comes to the idea that longer barrels are gas hogs this is totally false. When you fire a ball, the paint is forced out the end of the barrel by the pressure built up behind it from the gas trying to escape the barrel. The porting you see on barrels is an attempt to lighten the pressure behind the ball to silence and create less disturbance infront of the ball due to the gas seeping around the sides and exiting out the front of the barrel before the ball has exited. This is mostly when the paint to barrel match is fairly off. Although it does happen with every shot. However, a 10" barrel that is 8" effective (2" of porting) is just as efficient with gas as a 14" barrel that is 8" effective. It is simply more quiet. So if you were to get an 18" barrel that is 18" effective. Meaning there is no porting at all, then you will need less gas to expand and force the ball out of the barrel, as the gas will not escape over that 18".

I hope this makes sense and people can understand what i am trying to say. If you have any questions pm me or post them here.

o/t

PLEASE, let's not turn this into a mag/cocker, range, barrel length, or any other debate. I just want to find out what you think about the package i want to put together. Thank you.
