    Which of these 2 barrels is better for Emag?

    I have came to a conclusion, but I need to hear some opinions first. I cannot decide between the Carbon Graphite Barrel Kit or the Mac Dev Matchstick. Please let me know which is quieter, more accurate etc. Thank You

    Accuracy is a function of paint to barrel match. If the barrel closely matches the paint, it will have better accuracy & efficiency than the one that doesn't.

            It depends on how light you want your barrel to be as well as how much $$ you want to spend. I'd vote for the Matchstick personally, but then I like things with a little heft to them, not ultra light nothings.

              I'm voting with Dayspring. A paintball blown out through a good fitting, smooth piece of pipe will be as accurate as almost any barrel. My point is, that paint to barrel match is one of the most important specs to check when getting a barrel.
              Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                And is so overrated. Yes, paint to barrel match makes a difference in efficiency and accuracy. However, on both these things the difference is so minimal as to be almost meaningless in game scenarios, especially with today's paint that tends to vary from ball to ball. Many people just shoot a large bore barrel and don't worry about paint to barrel match. Unless you have a 'cocker or such that uses the barrel as a detent in the forward position.

                  Yeah, I always use a large bore barrel myself. I usually use a .693 or .696 depending on the quality of the day and paint.

                    Well they both offer good barrel to ball match. I was just wondering what you all would choose. I am trying to go lightest as possible. From what I heard their matchsticks were pretty good, but I really like what I seen in the CCM carbon fiber barrel. Does anyone own a CCM?

                      CCM's a St!ffi Switch Kits.

                      S!te (St!ffi) make some of the lightest barrels on the market to date. Rediculously light if you ask me, St!ffi in 14" on the nose of my E-Mag felt like there was nothing there and it was..... strange.
