Theres only a hand full of people here who actually PLAY paintball. The section is going to be full of what gun should I get threads, tippmann/spyder help etc. Shit is gonna be annoying as fuck.

I'm down though!


We all started somewhere right? So what if there are going to be a lot of threads like that.
As a community we can guide those who think their spyder electra is the shit and show them the real side of tournament balling or at least every weekend rec ball.

See. This section is needed.

Are you playing woodsball? Or hyper/speedball?

I'm not super familiar with woodsball but I am positive that if you partake in the latter a 17 inch barrel is a terrible idea.

Yep, and the barrel doesn't increase your accuracy that much. Paint, bore are more important

I normally prefer 14" tips on my ul, but once I used a 16 and noticed virtually no difference.

If anything I think the 16 was worse cause I couldn't play as tight in my bunker and it fucked with my snapping.

14'' are pretty much the universal speedball barrel sizes, however I have heard of snake/front players in general using a 12'' occasionally.

I personally use the stock .685 boblong barrel i got with my g6r. Love it.

Bob Long and Eclipse actually have really good stock barrels.

I see no need to get an after market barrel

Only thing bad about non shaft kit eclipse is the stock barrel is .691 i believe, which these days is much to big for paint
