Good choice on the barrel. I would say 14". When you have questions, first try searching for them. You can find you answers faster.

Anything over 14" just wastes gas and looks goofy. 12" is my favorite, but 14" is good too.

12" and 14" shoot exactly the same, so I prefer the 12" since it's less gun to get in the way.

However, if you play sup air fields, the 14 can be handy to help push the side of the bunkers in.

10, 12 and 14" all work and perform the same....16" and above is a waste and is mainly jus to intimidate the newbies.

i got a 12" jnj ceramic, and i like the length of it.  of course the difference between 12 and 14 is very small i dont think you would know the difference, so get what you want.

I have a 14" Bigshot, but the only reason i went 14" was because County didnt have 12" in stock. But like others have said they perform the same. I've also heard great things about the 8" bigshot.

E-Grip
JCS Dual Trigger
DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber
Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted

Optional setup:
R/T

I prefer 10".

Anything more than 14" makes your gun look dumb, and anything more than 20" makes you look dumb.

In paintball, longer is not necessarily better.
