Paintball Barrel Length Selection, Boring & Bore Size

[iMorphalaxis]

I have an empire axe, recommended barrel and size?

[beastneas2000]

mike if i have a invert mini what size barel shuld i get

[SSBlingsA7x]

@beastneas2000 .689

[CTPBallers]

If i am shooting paint that is .684 Is a .693 too big

[SSBlingsA7x]

@CTPBallers Yes! I would shoot a .689 at max

[ThenWatup]

What would be the best bore size for South and North Carolina? I want a CP Advantage 14in.

[ILOVEHELLOKiTTY85]

@ThenWatup you shouldn't ask, maybe take the advice you got from Mike and implement it yourself??? if you go and learn something and then you don't learn from it, then why are you trying to learn to begin with??????

[ILOVEHELLOKiTTY85]

i say, keep the safety tips of real fire arms and still apply it to paintball.

[AAAngelsofdeathhh]

@ILOVEHELLOKiTTY85 so i dont shoot the gun at people?

[ILOVEHELLOKiTTY85]

@AAAngelsofdeathhh you still do, but you wouldn't still aim the marker at someone in a none shooting area.

[prodigyy95]

@ ninja boy most barrels will fit most guns but most likely you will need to find a barrel that will fit the thread of the gun

[Amplifier007]

thanks man. i'm going to choose the .693 CP 14" 1 Piece Classic Barrel

[BlackMarketPaintball]

@Amplifier007 i wouldn't recommend that, that would be a very large size and would cause inaccuracy with most paintballs.

[Jesushobo]

@BlackMarketPaintball Did you even pay attention to anything he said in this video? Over-bored is better than under-bored, especially if you live anywhere warm.

[BlackMarketPaintball]

@Jesushobo yes i did but that is way too big, the paintballs will just clank around in the barrel while flying out and possibly even break, go with a .689 or .687, they are usually very good sizes

[campbellparker]

If i freeze paintballs, should i then try to thaw them the day before i play so they break? Or will they be fine without anything done to them?

[BlackMarketPaintball]

@campbellparker freezing paintballs is illegal but more often then not unless you have the timing down to the MINUTE, it will ruin the paintballs

[dyeguardian]

What the f**k? Advertisement at 3:15?

[ninjaboy4559]

do you have to get a certain barrel for a gun or can any gun use any barrel?

Please respond immediately i need to know!!!

[ryanhw12]

@ninjaboy4559 You have to get a barrel that have the same threads.

[ryanhw12]

@ninjaboy4559 As your gun

[Fonzeii]

i have a .690

[HorvathFrank]

I am going to buy a furious lotus barrel and they say it is easier on the paintballs with less breaks. I only want 1 barrel not a kit so what bore size would you recommend? Also.. most of my play is year round in New Jersey but i do go south to where it is warmer for tournaments.

[dansterwerecool]

@HorvathFrank 1.89-1.92 if your going south. the balls tend to condense a lot in the cold. dont listen to the ad on "less breaks" the bore size has to do with it not that barrel.

[UrGarBag3]

i recently bought an empire axe and it comes standard with a 12" barrel. I would like to upgrade maybe to a 14". Is the CP barrel the best choice for me?

[RMcNallyTM]

@UrGarBag3 go with a stiffi metal free 14" barrel there about $60 very light go with a .687 bore because this video was made 4 years ago and paintballs have gotten MUCH smaller so for the price the mf stiffi is awsome the only downfall is its a 1 piece barrel good luck

[CtrolokDoncov]

3:45 200 miles per hour?? you mean 200 feet per second?

[TheJaced02]

@CtrolokDoncov 300 fps * 60 mph / 88 fps = 204 mph.



[Av47Productionz]

IDK what barrel to get i have a azodin kaos semi auto and i mostly play woodsball sometimes speedball any recommendations???

[CtrolokDoncov]

@Av47Productionz ya same here dude i found a great barrel on paintballguns. net but idk what bore size to get

[ParkesAndrewGunnell]

I am using a Empire Axe are you able to give me a general idea what barrel I should get?

Looking for a 14" cause dont really like the stock 12"?

Is it better to get a barrel with a boring kit like the freak 2 piece or just a .691 to .694 barrel?

Thanks

[Paintballallstar9]

lol in canada its winter right now you get soooo many barrel brakes cuz when paint frezzes they become sooooo brittle

[dansterwerecool]

Have hou played at blitzkrieg

[dansterwerecool]

HOLY CRAP I GO TO USF!!!!

[unbelevaman]

Guys this video is outdated dont base your barrel knowledge on this video normal paintballs are .682-.685 now so watch his NEW barrel video.

[tktylman]

Mike i really need u to answer this i have a etek3 and i want a carbon fiber barrel what shoot i get

[paintballervibe]

@tktylman stiffi are amazing carboin fiber barrels look at ans they are like 60 dollars i believe? if not the boomstick carbon fiber

[RMcNallyTM]

@tktylman Stiffi Carbon Fiber Paintball Barrel $60-100 its what i use i love it .687 bore

[TopQualityMovies]

6.92 Dye Carbon Fiber Boomstick.

[nathanmusictv]

Ppl are telling me to get .688 bore? Because if it's a tighter fit it will travel through the bak in one place then go through the front straight then release very accurately is that true? I'm getting a boom stick what bore size shud I get that's best accuracy but keeps the ball clean and tight my weather is bi polar it gets very cold then very hot? Any bore size in between?

[RMcNallyTM]

@nathanmusictv .687 bore paintballs have gotten much smaller since this video was made 4 years ago

[jtranleopard64]

where can i get a .693 barrel?

[thewaysofaskater]

what bore size would you recommend for someone who lives in kansas. the weather here is very unconsistant. its very hot in summer, and very cold in winter.

[Thegjdefence]

Does any bore barrel fit into any marker or is it specific or do you need an adaptor? I have an Azodin Blitz, cause im tight on cash and its all i need.

[wiggitywiggitywort]

dye is the best ever

[nathanmusictv]

Plz help wats better a boom stick or a one piece 14" barrel? Which one will giv me best accuracy and distance? I hav dp g4 after about 250fps the balls curve up down side and everywhere any reccomendations?

[meuberepic]

@nathanmusictv clean the marker before you get a new barrel.

[MockingDaBird]

@nathanmusictv Don't buy a barrel thinking it will increase the accuracy. Different barrels don't offer better or worse accuracy. However, if your DP's barrel is scratched inside, I recommend replacing it. I don't recommend a $150 barrel or something, but buy a CP. Also a paintballs accuracy depends on the dimples and the condition on the paint.

[mastercraper3]

i threw my physics knoledge to the trash and failed at school. thanks mike : ) great videos

[243drake]

@TheDonOfChronic i ment 1:05

[CALLxOFxDUTYxFILMS]

i live in Jacksonville, Florida and it is very humid. I want to get a cp barrel .689 or a .693 for my 2011 Proto Rail. which one should i get?

[thomascatlett555]

what is a good gun, that if i had to take it apart, wouldn't have a shitload of parts like a tippman?

[hambone11112]

@thomascatlett555 Spyders are real easy to take apart and have shit all pieces.

[AGR3SS1V3pb]

@thomascatlett555 marq lol all you gotta do is take out the bolt and your done

[BackyardChemistry]

Alright, so I've got a .690 2 piece here in the UK - heat isn;t that much of a problem here - wetness (note: not humidity) is. Is this barrel size going to be OK for normal tourney play?

Cheers

[chrispr29]

i want to buy a new one pice 14inch CP barrel for my empire axe, but i am between the 689 bore size and the 685. I live i Puerto Rico and is very hot and humid and i normally use evil paint. what do you recomend me?

THANKS

[chickenpwn000]

@chrispr29 689

[aces061]

Very helpful!!! Thank you very much

[ulove2cme]

lol not an ak round its a7.62x39 mm

[GerFallschirmjager]

Paintballs expand

[rotweilerdc]

Apex 2 only come in 12 and 16 so i guess 16 be better?

[Snakebiteloo]

@rotweilerdc you are actually probably better to go with the 12

[ballistaking29]

I thought it was .688? instead of .689 like he said.

[naaruto567]

@ballistaking29 although there may be a .688 paintball not sure

[ballistaking29]

@naaruto567 Yes their is a .688 but he said that .689 was the STANDARD for paintballs and barrels. I thought that the STANDARD was .688. I'm am just curious because I am looking at getting a new barrel for my Tippy 98 but I don't have a lot of money and I don't want to have to buy one barrel to find out that it is the wrong bore. And I play woodsball or Renegade ball if you want to call that I mean we don't have a chrono or anything we just play for fun.

[Robot0Ninja]

@ballistaking29 one hundredth of an inch will not make much of a difference. if you live in humid climates, get the .689, if you love in not so humid get a .688

[ballistaking29]

@Robot0Ninja Thanks man. I now found a solution to my problems though :) but I will keep this info in mind.

[877mike877]

what does over bore mean?

[Snakebiteloo]

@877mike877 the size of the inside of the barrel is bigger than the projectile (i.e. the paintball)

[Diekrupt]

This is not accurate, matching your ball to your control bore is CRITICAL to accuracy and consistency. Simple, put a ball in the back of the barrel, look down, if there is alot of light around the ball, air is going to pass by. Only reason to oversize is if playing in a tourney and you cannot break. New Geo 2.1 came with 689 back but shaft4 isnt that great. Freak has been best ive used. Match your paint and if breaking, go one size up, that simple.

[SeanofZeus]

@Diekrupt you have value is what you say.I dont understand what mike saying when stating to always overbore. it might help with the bolt butting the ball into the barrel but fps wise I dont think it would be very consistant. there is a simple way to solve everything here. this is made in 2008 so I donot know if this was out when he made this vid....but the iFit barrel kit is the way to go. bore correctly..throughout the day change to a higher insert in relation to the expanding paintball.

[TheAmateurpb]

can any bore size fit in any gun it just either has to be auto cocker thread type or cocker type. ect.?

[degree323]

BOOBS!! I mean baloons

[paintball101tips]

does anyone know where i can find a ramrod barrel? i can't find one anywhere.

[243drake]

pause at 1:09 wtf happened to his elbow, theres a hole in it!

[themabdaguy]

@243drake 106 dumb

[burlyheads]

@243drake That is most likely from a Staph infection. Watch this to know what it is WARNING IT IS UBER GROSS /watch?v=w7BhhsNQnLc&feature=r­elated

[Finest1510]

So i have a Planet Eclipse Etek which is a bore size of .693 should I get a barrel with a higher bore size or lower bore size?

[Heaton08]

@Finest1510 Seriously? I don't think you could have asked a more vague question... What decides the size of your bore????

[Newengland1250]

@iskatemonster if you can get the dye CF boomstick

[HDComputerGaming]

looks like he is fisting a butthole hahahahah

[1breather]

just got a CP 14" barrel yea boy

[oTarrell13o]

What is exactly meant when people say some barrels are more efficient than others?

[chris55268]

@oTarrell13o better quailty and different functions. some add a special spin to the ball others effect sound and range. and most of all all after market barrels will effect your accuracy

[bwayne641]

Oh no ! I torqued my ball sack !

[improvised239]

the ballsack 3:24

[iskatemonster]

what's a good upgraded barrel for a 3rd gen invert mini ?

[doughnutsrgoodifying]

I have a 2011 Azodin Blitz and will a .693 even fit on there? I live in Orlando, Fl so I know what your talking about but will it even fit on the gun?

[J03510]

Would anyone know how to figure out what bore size the BT-4 Assault has? In the manual, is says .68 but i'm not sure if it's .680 exactly.

[jukokerguy]

wtf is boring in the first place

[weskateFLA]

@jukokerguy the diameter of your barrel



[cowboy836]

I love to shoot the "snipers" with there 24'' barrels lol

[AAVince2513]

what about in southern California what bore is recomended

[YoDaddy513]

so you would suggest a .693 barrel to anyone? i'm looking to get a barrel for my proto rail and i live in a not so humid environment

[killer72189]

@YoDaddy513 get a .682

[TheDEERHUNTER11]

ok so will some answer me... im very new to this.. say if i want to get a Autococker 22 Inch Flute Sniper Barrel should i not use it cuz its bigger than a 16 inch and its not a 2 piece barrel!!??

[seanbedb]

@TheDEERHUNTER11 no go ahead and use it. jst the extra length isnt that necessary.

[TheDEERHUNTER11]

@seanbedb so why did they make a barrel tht long if it makes no difference

[seanbedb]

@TheDEERHUNTER11 probably cuz it just looks badass

[Heaton08]

@TheDEERHUNTER11 If you can find a gun with a 22" barrel you should use it just for pure novelty. Good thing you are going for a cocker platform too. They're more accurate and shoot further because of the closed bolt function!

[mooreboost]

There seems to be a consensus today that paint is getting smaller. Do you agree, and would you change your recommendation for a ~.693 barrel?

[Heaton08]

@mooreboost If you haven't noticed it yourself, you obviously don't play enough to justify changing your barrel.

[killer72189]

i live in the valley in ca so what 2 bore size i need? whats better 16inch or 14 inch? what thread size does the dp fx use i belive its a cocker but not sure avg. temp. is 79-90

[Heaton08]

@killer72189 If you can't figure this one out on your own, you shouldn't even be looking into bore sizing. You've got other problems that need tending to.

[Shadowpuppet7x]

the thing i do is freeze my paintballs and put it in a cooler. then i messure the ball size change over time,while its out.

[Shadowpuppet7x]

public restroom lol dane cook lol

[12345icancount1]

is there any point to a 10 inch barrel

[mrtaboocobra]

43 ppl suck at paintball. thumbs up if u agree

[MagicAce711]

CP 2 piece 16'' barrel .693...AMAZING!!!



[loopymoofart]

what should i do if none of my friends have money to paintball but i do. should i go paintballing myself

[D7Industries]

@loopymoofart hell yeah

[loopymoofart]

paintball is not boring

[AnAsian2010]

what the hell is boring besides history?

[iamnotatroll1]

So if i live in SW FL i should get like a .693?

[callofdutyclips881]

what bore should i get for my ion? please help

[RafikiTheWise]

not sure to get it... overborring is tighter or looser ? 

[PS3Jailbreaka]

Hes Brilliant

[iAmplify100]

Im getting an ultra lite for my axe, I have enough money to get 2 backs should I get like a .692 and a .688?

[yourmouse1]

3:25 Into the Ball sac.... Ball stack

[WPbSyndicate]

What does everyone think about the Furious Lotus barrel?

[acouragefann]

I'm just going to completely disagree. I had quite a velocity deviation with overbores and lots of breaks, and am now going about .004 underbore. Grouping improved, break frequency decreased.

[nogias420]

I have a DP G4, .690, cocker threads. Tell me some good barrels please

[nivlacherbeast]

cp...14 inch

[nintendowiirocks111]

@nivlacherbeast yeah thats what im getting! its not too long is it? (thats what she said...)

[Sageisstupid]

@nogias420 watch the video...

[nogias420]

@Sageisstupid Ya, thanks for answering the question.. fuckface

[Sageisstupid]

@nogias420 so hostile

[nogias420]

@Sageisstupid So useless

[ps3gamer2441]

14 inch or 16 inch for a bt4?

[BananaHugger]

i hate it when theres presure on my balls

[xXtrigerdownXx]

im at coral springs florida what you think is the nearest field to me?

[loveofpaintball]

im going to upgrade my barrel soon, should i buy an actual barrel kit or just a bunch of different backs and tips seperately. ive got about 100 bucks to spend

[blackopszombie223344]

what is he eating

[rc8rsracer]

haha i use a 4 inch barrel and it works just fine

[FPSCclanleader]

@rc8rsracer

4 inches is one of the shortest barrels i have ever heard of, how accurate are you with a barrel that short?

[S0L0GraffitiKing]

WHAT SIZE APEX BARREL SHOULD I GET FOR MY BT4 IF I WANT MO MAKE IT A SNIPER 14 OR 18???

[PyroTechTutorials]

.679 ftw

[xxxnityninexxx]

Which one is the best for perfect accuracy, precision and long distances?

CP Barrel

Hammerhead Straightline

Dye BoomStick

Dye UltraLite

[UTTERKAOS1994]

@xxxnityninexxx Obviously the Dye barrels will be great, but you'll be paying four times as much compared to the CP Barrel. I've heard fantastic reviews about the CP One Piece Barrel and it's only $30.

[TheSchlippsters]

so if a bore size is .687 should i put on a .687 bore or a .689?

[swordandsnipe]

i wished i played enough to shoot 50 cases every 6 months ansgear sent me two cases from the bottom of the skid dimpled as hell

[pbairsoftreviewz]

i use my eclipse .689 because thts what my arker came with

[Legitonion]

u are a genious, thank you

[djknowl3dg3]

this was very helpful...THANK YOU! i think im gonna go with the cp 14 inch .693....and its funny cuz thsts the one ive been eyeing for like a week...

[jrock19782003]

when you were saying int the morn after the paints been at 75 degrees and it begins to swell. how does the paint act after 3pm. or just stay with the overbore?

[62dimilo]

Thanks for the tips mike! I was looking at CP barrels and couldnt decide if i should be getting a .689 or a .693 but now i know

[MassBallBreaker]

this is a few years old. paintballs are starting to get smaller. watch his g6r supergun show, total 180 from this

[Bcrichanditsbitch]

nothing worse than an oblong in your bob long......

[xbox360paintballer]

@Bcrichanditsbitch

i lol'd

[Irishpoloc]

@xbox360paintballer thanks!

[GhostKid0201]

whats the difference in the cp classic and the cp advantage barrels im bout to buy one as soon as i get an answer so can some one plz let me kno soon!!!

[OteroGaming]

@paintballtechpb Wow, i thought you said "There Sensitive to eat" lol XD

[ovIIRagezZx]

@OteroGaming LOL same here

[tmaxx93]

i just picked up a bob long g6r and it comes with a .685. isnt that too small?

[mrmidnight32]

My cocker comes with a .685................

I was told thats too small... I've been recommended shooting a 683 or 682....

Im from Socal if that matters.

[Forgoten76]

@mrmidnight32 .683 and .682 are smaller than .685. If you decide to get a new barrel get something closer to a .690. In the past two years i havent seen much of a difference in accuracy between hot and cold, rainy or dry weather, and ive been shooting the stock .693 barrel that comes with the 2009 Invert Mini. Im from central ohio, our paint should be smaller than yours because the weather here is less humid and colder than where you are.

[mrmidnight32]

@Forgoten76 I meant too large... And also this is for a cocker pump not a semi..

[OHHHHYEAAAAA]

@evanlikestoparty its not to small at all.. really 12 to 16 inches are all good sizes.

Reason: Samller than 12 gets to where it unaccurate but wen you oversize like 21 or 18 inches you get drag on the paontball.. sooo.. yeah and btw get a .689 bore size and if you can a 14 inch better than 12 but if 12 all you can get then get it.. still good

hope this helped

[akablackvenom]

i am a new to paintball and my barrel is a .691 bore what paint should i buy that will fit it good?

[IAmTheNewNear]

can anybody tell me if a flat line barrel will fit on a Tippman tpx pistol

[Armixs]

prevent their balls from shaking around :DD ha :D 

[haloreachLtcolonel]

Is DP rev-i ok for walking trigger when the trigger is set to bump out

[bLuRrPb]

Someone please tell me what boring is

[boogieman00001]

@bLuRrPb The inside of a gun barrel is known as the barrel's bore. Here in the USA it is measured in inches, so a .693 bore would measure 0.693 inches in diameter on the inside. "Boring" is selecting a barrel or adapter with a specific bore diameter to match the size of the paintball being used. He's saying that it is unnecessary and its better to "over-bore", meaning select a barrel that has a slightly larger bore size that the diameter of the paintball.
