Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

Thanks for the reply Sideshow. Here is my last question. So which is more accurate? I have heard anything over 14"s is just for look? I would definitly like to pick up one of those barrels(the BattleStixx or Tippmann), I am just unsure of the size?

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

Well, technically the barrel IS only 14"

all the hammerheads are the same, only different shape of the barrels outside. no one performs better then the other.

after 14" it doesnt degrade performance, only air efficiency, as more air is needed to keep velocity on exit because of friction

So to answer your question another way, they are all the same, pick one based on how it looks to your taste

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

I tested my friend's barrels and grips before getting my own equipments.

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

Does anyone know what the bore size is on the barrel (not the fins) of the Straightline? I have one enroute and I wm trying to figure out what paint will match it best.

I though you matched the fins to the paint you are using. Am I missing something?

Re: New Tippmann/Hammerhead Barrel

Yeah, you match fin size. I wanna say that the 'control' bore of the barrel is .692 or .693. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but I'm pretty sure that they make it a little larger than the largest fin so that all paint is guaranteed to fit through it.
