What Barrel You Use?

What are you talking about, "it is a fact." A barrel is a barrel is a barrel (this is not a typo). A single bore barrel will clean out just as fast as any other barrel.
I still say go Lapco, unless you play a lot of woods and fancy yer self a sniper. Aluminum BigShot and AutoSpirit from G3 shipped for $100 is a heck of a deal. May cost a little more to ship overseas but still a good buy on a very good barrel.
dude its known that dye barrels clean out quick if you hvae a ball break where do you play paintball
Sounds more like a rumor/assumption... First it makes no sense as to why it would clean out faster than any other single bored barrel. As long as the paint to barrel match is tight the paint will clear out just as fast with any other barrel. That is unless the barrel has some large gash or scratch, but a rare occasion.
"its known"
ie. some guy (probably the guy standing behind a dye trade stand) told you this and you just believed it.
Having DYE stamped all over a barrel doesnt make it special. Got that?

And there's me..
Thinking that the J&J Ceramic ones cleared out the quickest after a break, what with having almost no porting and being lined with PTFE type stuff.
Certainly after a break in one of those, the balls would stop hooking after about two shots.
Then again, you'd expect a barrel with lots and lots of porting to shoot through well. Or have I got that the wrong way round?

More ports equals more places for the paint to get stuck...
Then again it could also give the paint more ways out of the barrel...
In short... i don't really know

Nor me...
I suppose I should do some testing at some point, but the idea of deliberately breaking paint in a barrel really disturbs me.
Still, I know for a fact that cleaning out a Teardrop is a grade A ******* and trying to shoot through it is nigh on impossible.

Thinking about it, people probably THINK DYE Boomsticks clean out quicker cos of the larger bore of the front section... they may well shoot better after a break cos of this, after all more space around the ball would decrease the effect of paint in the barrel on the balls flight. They dont CLEAN OUT any better... the paints still in there. They just handle that paint a little better cos of the two step bore.
Again, wild speculation. Just givin the people what they crave.
Testing? Since when has testing ever helped anyone? Wild speculation is what the people WANT. Sad but true.
