freak, boomstick or jt ?????????????

[Tony - Stupid Troopers]

I've used Freaks, Boomsticks and JT barrels and as far as i can tell there isn't that much difference in accuracy with decent paint barrel match. Obiviously with the Freak this isn't a problem as you always get a decent match, but the others can give problems with barrel breaks if you try shooting paint which is too big.

However, having said that the shoot through on a Freak is pants, when i've played with one if you do get a barrel break then you can't really clean it out and your accuracy goes to sh*t. With the boomstick and the JT you can just keep shooting, you get a few bad shots but then it's pretty much back on target.

I think the shoot through ability depends alot on the type of paint used as well!

What about the other dyes

What about the utralight and the Ti?

go with the boomie

i use both the freak and boomsticks on my lcd and find i get way fewer breaks using the boomie, also if i do get a break the boomie shoots through it way easier, dont get a lot of em cos our team uses and trains with Chronic

well...

Freaks are best for versatility but... there is no match for accuracy when a dye boomy matches the paint well i had a shocker with 16" boomy and my god it was ball on bal from heowge distances!
Just my 2p

Got to be..........

the freak. You can build it to suit your paint and position with the different inserts and the different fronts that are avaliable. The boomie`s are nice but you can`t change the bore which, at the end of the day, gives you accuracy and stops bursts within the barrel.
Just my thoughs,
Chunk.

a couple of my teamates swear by the freak....another is selling his after buying a rather nice ultralite

personally ive had boomies on my cocker and impy thou i think i will change to an ultralite for the weight saving! there is nothing there....light as a feather

or, you could just buy paint that fits your boom

or,

chunk could run a bit faster at training so i can see if there is really a difference in the accuracy between the boomie an the freak, cos i can hit slow moving targets plenty times with either?
hows the bruises on yer arse Chunk?

I've got an Ultralite & JT and had a Freak set.

I'd get 1 .692 14" UL and that's all the barrel you'll need.

I don't buy this whole paint/barrel match thing, that just increases your chances of getting barrel breaks with odd outsize balls.

edit: I've said it before, look at any SP factory team and they nearly always use a .693 or above insert. Ever wondered why when the high grade Diablo paint is usually .689 or smaller ??
