2 Quick Questions

[pbcustom98]

1) I was thinking about getting a 9v or a 12v Revy for my m98, but I was wondering what the difference between them is. Also how doe they compare to the Ricochet ( however it is spelled).

2) I'm looking to get a new barrel and have narrowed it down to these choices...
a) DYE Boomstick
b) DYE Excel
c) Lapco Bigshot (heard it increases gas efficency and has great accuracy.)
d) Flatline- I've heard that this barrel is very good form ppl and terrible from other ppl....can you please tell me the + and - for this barrel...

Thanks

The twelve volt will last longer before needing new batteries and the paddle spins faster (differant paddle as well) if you can afford it go 12Volt. Never used the Ricochet but they are supposed to feed as fast as the Revvy shame they are so ugly. As for the barrels, Boomsticks are good barrels but you may want something with differant IDs (internal diameter or bore size) have a look at Lapco they have one and the Freak is good (thats what I use its a good system but I don't know if its the best for you or for me either). remember their are other systems around as well, the full freak will set you back about £180 ish dunno about the others.

Of those barrels I would stick with the DYE excel because it is very cost effective, quieter than a Lapco, and far less expensive than the boomstick. I've said this a zillion times already and I'll say it again and again as many times as I have to: AVOID THE FLATLINE AT ALL TIMES. Want the reasons? Read down a couple threads...there are no fewer than 10 different threads within the last month or two I've posted that advice on. Between the 9v and 12v, go with the 12. Ricochet vs. 12v is a personal preference, and people have gotten great results with both so put one of each on your gun and see which does the best for you. The 12v is less expensive and less noisy, though.

You are well on your way to being well equipped and ready to rip! Good luck and have fun.

Hey Onion man, can you be more specific on where to look when you said you put up posts about the Flatline barrel. I want to know what is so bad about it.

Hey Audguy, Onion's probably asleep, as I should be right now, but I'll answer for him. Look at the top of the screen and you'll see, "Search," up there to the right. Just give it a click and go from there, I'm pretty sure you'll have in under control after that.
