What kind of barrel should I get for my Paintball gun?

I have a BT-4 SWAT and the barrel that comes with it is mediocre at best. I am looking for a barrel that is accurate, rifled is preferred. What barrel should I look into buying? I also heard that the air system affects accuracy too, is this true, and if so, which is preferred?

I think the Apex barrel system would allow you to gain plenty of accuracy and still retain the cool looks of an M-16/M-4 gun.

Its also available as an AK front end if you would prefer that look.
Your type of air delivery system CAN affect accuracy.Use of an expansion chamber or better yet a Palmers stabilizer will give you more consistent operating pressure. By providing more consistency in each shot the accuracy of each shot increases. Some say HPA provides this consistency without the need for any add ons...I dont use HPA so I cannot really say.
