My firend wants to sell me his old 12in Boomstick. I think they look sweet but I rarely see anyone using them now. I heard their fairly picky about paint so I might just get a more forgiving Lapco autospirit instead. What do think about boomies?

As far as I'm concerned, if you can afford a boomstick, it's worth it. Pretty much all of dyes stuff is good anyway. Go for it. -
i have one on my angel and use it all the time. I shoot anarchy through it and it shoots great.

now with all the barrel kits becoming cheaper the 1 piece barrels are becoming a thing of the past [excluding those like ultralites that can be ordered in different bores]Last week i thought i was indecisive, but now im not sure anymore...Comment

..
i have a older boomy ( the one piece i think it means there older) anywho its heavy. ppl actually make fun of how heavy it is. it weighs the same as my e-blade cocker. if i where to hit soneoen with it on the head just a tap it would most likely knock em out. the weight kinda annoys me after a while.Comment

yeah tha glued ones. weight does'nt really matter to me, I'm kinda big. I just dont know if I want to invest money in it if a barrel half the cost will get that job done just as good. I was jsut wondering if u guys had had trouble with em.Comment

I had one, and it was very good. They are kind of heavy though, because the back is stainless steel.Comment

I love Dye and other barrel companies. They had glued barrels forever, and now with the two piecers coming out, they claim thats better...whatever...
yes, an old boomie is just as good as a new one

I've had a 14" old-style boomy for... wow... 2 years now. I've liked it. Sure, it's heavy, but it's 1/2 stainless steel, what do you expect? A Dye Stainless Steel would be heavier. Mine does not like marbs, but used to shoot darts with Proball (before they sucked).Comment

I have both a "old school" (glued boomie) and a "new school"
(screw together boomie) they both shoot great with any paint that's a good bore size match for them.anyone who tells you there are no such things as stupid questions is lying to you so they can laugh at your questions.Comment

boomy
I have an old boomy as well. Had it for 5 or 6 years. They are .688 (typically), so it will be able to use a wider range of paint than an Autospirit (which is a .687, sometimes .686).
They shoot great. I also believe the glued ones are more reliably aligned than the ones that screw together. However, I prefer my one-piece DYE aluminum. No alignment problems with one piece barrels, you KNOW it's straight.
I find DYE, CP and Lapco to all be excellent barrels if you purchase a good 'ole one piece aluminum. Cheap, straight, light and more accurate than any multi-piece barrel.Comment
