What is the best 16 inch barrel for a tippmann 98?

Answer 1

The is no one "Best barrel", you do however want to get the best paint to barrel match as possible. If you use the some paint time after time (and the company that makes that paint is consistant), you can find a barrel size that matches. Your local pro shop can help you with this. "Boomsticks" and the like are good barrels for this. If you are constantly using different paint you may want to look into a barrel kit like the "small parts freak kit." These often contain different barrel inserts designed to match whatever paint you are using at the time.

Answer 2

It depends on what you need.

If you need an accurate barrel, go for a CP two piece barrel. It has removable backs with different bore sizes. Anything more expensive is a waste on a 98.

If you want range, go with a Flatline or Apex barrel. They put spin on the ball, allowing it a flater trajectory.

If you need lightweight, go for a carbon fiber barrel like Stiffi carbon or AZ carbon wrapped aluminum.

Answer 3

"best" is always a matter of opinion, i say the J&J ceramic, $30 its light, quiet and will shoot through breaks very well, something high end barrels often can not do

I say the best is the apex barrell it can shoot really far and you can cure it around bunkers while it is also accurate and only 40$

Answer 4

there reallly is no barrell best for a tippman 98 i would just use a tippan tactical barrel or just use the 98 barrle dont try and use an ego or angel barrel because the gun will most likey end up gettting jamed

Answer 5

The standard barrel should be fine. However if you are more serious about paintball, but do not have the money for a new gun, a CP or similar one piece barrel 12-16 inches should improve your gun noticeably.

Answer 6

Any two piece barrel with adjustable inserts (barrel inside sizes). Then the best paint-to-barrel match is the best for the barrel. Paintballs come in slightly different (like .001 of an inch) sizes and the one that fits the paint the best is the best barrel.

Answer 7

This is all opinionated. Many people prefer carbon fiber barrels such as Stiffi, Sly, and Deathstixs. Though some prefer Dye Ultralites, and Riffled Barrels.

Answer 8

The Apex2 if you need distance, or a CP 14 inch 2 piece if you want more accuracy.
