Hi. I'm quite new at paintball and just bought a nice looking A5 with Egrip.

I want to get a new barrel, and after searching the web and getting feedback from friends, I've identified 3 barrels that seems nice.

-Dye Ultralite
-J&J Ceramic barrel
-Tippmann Sniper barrel


From what I've understood, it seems that the Ultralite would be the better of the 3, but since it's also way more expensive, I will wait and maybe get it later... So between the J&J and the tippmann, which one would you get?

I know that the J&J is "self cleaning" when paint breaks, and I've heard that the Tippmann is, at the total opposite, a pain in the *** when it happens. Other than that, what are the pros/cons? Which one would you recommend?


Also, if I were to get the Ultralite, which bore size should I get? I do not buy my own paintballs since the field where I play doesn't allow you to bring your own, you must buy the paintballs from them, but I don't know which size of paintballs they use... So I'm thinking "medium size" bore. so what is medium? .688??
