I started off with an a5 sold it after first walkon, moved to an invert mini - sold, now own a vanguard demon 2013 and an angel sb
Tourney guns are lighter, easier to move - especially as they don't have a telegraph pole as a barrel ;)
My a5 was specced up internally to the max and it still got destroyed against peoples tourney guns.
the reloading thing is a fair point that we do have to reload more as we shoot more - but reloading takes all of 2 seconds, and you can do it whilst shooting?
also with the barrels - im pretty sure they dont do much to accuracy? same with barrel length - 14" is the best i do believe so anything more is just to help you point it in the right direction.
and rifling just reduces efficiency as theres more holes.

Just my 2 cents there :)

you mean porting? rifling that tries to spin the paintball is the ultimate waste of time because A. if it isn't perfectly bore matched it'll have no effect at all and B. paintballs aren't made for spinning like bullets since they are a completely different shape.

ahhh i read back over it and changed something cause i double mentioned it, and then must have deleted what i was actually going to put. doh!
haha yeah rifling is pointless and effectively overbores the air but not the ball, so the efficiency so worse off.
