its an opinion they are like assholes everyones got them and the all stink. Me personally i havn't had a problem with my j-n-j . Ive shot the s2, the straight barrel, And the barrel kit all opf them seem to do fine. But theres all kinds of barrels out there that claim to be the greatest so dont be fooled. Another barrel a friend of mine shoots is a smart parts barrel and he loves it. you have to find something to fit you personally. And just remember there is no such thing as a paintball sniper so the longer the barrel does not mean the longer the shot
