Funnily I just had this discussion with someone

If your a full auto junky the Madbull barrel will work better than the TK barrel, the cushion of air provided by the TK rifling isn't consistent during full auto firing.

You do need hopup for a twist barrel, its one of those urban myths that one doesnt.

I'll try to explain the tech side of that,

Basically, the barrel has 'reverse' rifling, not the oposite that is another tanoi koba urban myth! its basically rotating channels that, when the bb fires, fill with air, which rotates around the BB as it moves effectively stabalising the flight to the centre of the barrel. It acts like a hyper tightbore.... the bb doesnt bounce around like it can in conventional barrels.
The barrel or air doesnt provide 'twist' to the bb as one might think, just moves air to cushion it. So, like a regular barrel, to gain backspin, and thus range, you need hopup too.

the twist barrel basically provides very little room for the bb to vibrate, losing energy, without being so tight as to cause more jams than a toast convention.



As for the choice... at 328, its pretty close, I'd personally go for the madbull pythons... lovely, and half the price of the tk twist with even a hop rubber thrown in the deal.

Madbull blue, Guarder Clear or the stock G&G hopup

Any of the above really, the softer the hopup rubber the better!
