For the price tag, (of around 60 to 70 dollars) think it out preformes for the money the lesser quality barrels like the Teardrop, Progressive, CP 1 piece ?

if you have any experience with the barrel, please let me know how you like it:

(btw im running a spyder tl+ with polished internals, removed venturi)

dont get one so long....well wait, are u a woodsball guy, or speedball. If u play both then get a 12 inch, if stricly speedball 10 inchs is what i perfer, woodsball, 14 is the most

**1nd1an** · July 30th, 01:09 PM

i play woodsball more, but im liking speedball more and more, i got the 14 inch already so i guess im going to stick with it for a while but i am thinking of returning it

Wow...ummm...no. Barrel length is strictly preference. 14" is long? Tell that to the Dynasty players who use to shoot with 18" barrels. 12" and 14" are probably the most common lengths, but if you play airball or woodsball, look into a 16". The extra length helps you play tighter in airball, and can be used to shoot through thick brush in woodsball. But again, it's preference. If you are looking into a new barrel, try using a few different lengths to see which you like better.

Just no 21" noob barrels.

thnxs i kinda figured that but does any1 have experience withthe twister itself? its looking mighty fine on my gun but im having doubts about its potential compared to the progressive or cp 1 which would run me like 10 to 20 bucks cheaper

Ok, well I just looked up this barrel. I'd have to say don't get it, mainly for one reason - it's rifled. I thought Twister was just a name, I didn't realize it's a rifled barrel. Rifled barrels don't really work in paintball because of a paintball being so inaccurate in the first place. Yes, rifled barrels work on real guns where a bullet will hold it's shape a bit better and is more aerodynamic. But a paintball being a soft round mass, rifling will do nothing.

Don't spend the extra money. Buy a CP 1 Piece, I know for a fact it is worth the money. Actually with the way the 1 Piece shoots, it should probably be $70 or $80 - yes, it's that nice.

Twister barrels are VERY nice. I had the chance of shooting one myself a while back. If you do get one you will notice great improvment in accuracy. It is better then the cp,prggressive and teardrop but the diffrence isnt so drastic as to pay 40$ more. LolL.

**1nd1an** · July 30th, 01:46 PM

thats wat i figured, the gun at the store kept raving about his shotgun to twister comparision at 30 yards but i figured it really wouldnt hold up well while pb-ing, but im really leaning towards getting the cp 1 piece next week

**bobide** · July 30th, 01:50 PM

Man the cp 1 peice is FUGLY. And about riffiling working....u know i'm not even gonna start, b/c i forgot a lot of it. But someone said it didn't, then someone tested, and someone else tested. ITs all really a mess. So go for it. Heck but it and tell us if it works

Really? Did I read a bad review on the Twister, cuz the site I was at said it was rifled? And from what I know/read rifling is about as helpful as a scope.

Yeah I thought it was much better then the stock barrel and the proggressive barrel when I tried it on my freinds shutter. I didnt know it was rifiled tho? But it isnt worth it really. A CP barrel like u said should be worth much more. I just got mine and Im so satisfied with it.

**1nd1an** · July 30th, 02:02 PM

ill prob return the twister some time next week and ask the guy to ship in a cp1 piece for me, but until then ill shoot around 3k paint with the twister, see how much i like it, ill post how good it is in the next week or so...
