    You can pretty much get the same accuracy with any barrel. Accuracy is paint to bore match, fps consistency, and your bolt (not as important but still a factor) For example if you had a .680 paintball and a .680 spyder barrel it would be more accurate than a .680 paintball in a Stiffi .695 barrel, but a .680 in a .680 Stiffi barrel would probably be more accurate then the same size spyder barrel. But the advantages of a carbon fiber barrel are numerous. They are lighter, most of them are self cleaning, they are durable, they look kool, and they are more accurate when used with the proper paint to bore match. So i would get a larger bore barrel if you cannot afford a kit. But if you can afford a kit get one, my recommendations are Sly & Stiffi (if you got da funds), or J & J ceramics if you are lookin for a deal (you can usually find there Edge Elite kit for about $80 and it comes with backs and 3 fronts) but J & J doesn't make carbon fiber barrels. Good Luck.

    edit: it will not reduce kick. If anything it will increase kick slightly, only slightly.
