[ELVIS]

Morning /afternoon or Evening All !!

Im a bit stuck ive got a Tippman A5 and i need some advice on where to go with add ons aka up-grades !!!

i play rec ball and i am after range as well as accrcy !!! (arnt we all, hehee)

I am understanding that i need a different barrel but which one ??

Ive seen a Tippman 14 inch snipe barrel ? or the Flatline barrel

But ive also seen Dye/proto and ive seen the Stiffi barrel as well ???

But obviously i wont know how they are untill i buy one but i dont want to buy the wrong one !!!! so what barrel is out there that is a good buy ??

Thanks for your help !!

What sort of paintball do you play? I'd be inclined to recommend a 12" alloy tube of some sort, aim for around a .692 bore to start with and a bit of porting. No need to go too fancy so Proto, CP or Stiffi ok, but if you play in the woods Stiffi might be a bit fragile.
The flatline puts a backspin on the ball for more range, works well but can be paint fussy and if you get a break it sucks, so perhaps look at the Apex barrel from Ben Tippmann. I'd stick with a plain tube to start with though

As for accuracy- lesson one is GET GOOD PAINT!

You'll get better shots from a stock barrel with good round paint than from a £100 barrel with crap.

Oh god, i don't know that FTW means, on poor form today.

ON the barrel front mate try an SP linear barrel, cheap and will work well as a paint direction tool. (PDT )
