Didn't know the Autospirit was still available, thanks for the correction BBHostess. Steve, I asked my buddy, he said yes that the Autospirit was very loud compared to his Smart Parts Big Daddy. Hope it helps. Razor : Lapco would be a fine choice for a $50 barrel. There are actually 2 models...the Bigshot and the Autospirit. They are similar, but have different bore sizes (the Bigshot is larger, the autospirit smaller). If you were just getting one and primarily play rec ball, go with the Bigshot. If you find you are using smaller bore paint (usually more expensive tourney paint) you can always add the Autospirit and have an inexpensive 'barrel system' for about the price of one boomstick. : As far as Nitro/CO2 goes... : CO2 will be fine, but will give you problems in cold weather. If you don't play in the cold, you can get great results with CO2 for lots less $$$. To keep liquid CO2 out of your gun (a bad thing for cockers) be sure to get an antisiphon kit for your tank or run it remote.
