paintball marker barrel ?

Question

I have a spyder vs2 paintball gun, the stock barrel is good but its time to get a new one. i herd that spyder has two types of barrels for the vs2, the 9 inch callour tip and the 2 peice 14 inch areo twist barrel. i would like to know how good the colloured tip barrel improves your accuracy and also the areo twist barrel. i would also like to know if their is other barrels that fit the vs2

Answer 1

In truth there are hundreds of barrels out there that will fit a spyder. If you are on a budget I would go with a Lucky 15, if not get your self a Dye Ultra light, if you have about $200 get your self a Freak Kit. Don't waist your money on a rifled barrel, the improved accuracy you will get will be no where near the accuracy of a Freak or ultra light. A normal bullet, shot through a rifled barrel, works because all of the mass is rotating at the same time. with a paintball the paint itself stays stationary while the shell spins. if you have ever taken a glass of ice water and tried to rotate it, the water will stay still while the glass rotates. same thing happens in a paint ball.

Answer 2

There are many after market barrels made for the Spider line of guns. Most better than ones made by Kingman. I would suggest spending a little extra money up front and buying a barrel kit such as Smart Parts Freak. This will allow you to match the paint size to your barrel resulting in better accuracy and air efficiency. If you ever get another type of marker all you would need is a back for that marker. You wouldn't need to buy a hole new kit lie you would with something like a Evil Pipe kit. pipe kits are great to. Check Ebay for good deals.

Answer 3

theoretically the areotwist barrel will give you better accuracy because its longer. however you need to look for something called "rifling" in the barrel. that means you will see grooves that will make the paintball rotate the more grooves the faster it will rotate. however too much will decrease your accuracy. look at both barrels and test them for accuracy.
