12" Lapco Bigshot.

Length doesn't matter at all. The bore size of the barrel is what matters.

No, barrel length does not matter after the first 8" the ball has fully accelerated to field speeds. After that, the friction in the barrel just starts slowing the ball down, therefore you need more gas to accelerate the ball to the same muzzle velocity.

ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU TO GET ANYTHING BIGGER THEN A 12'' BARREL IS AN IDIOT.  anything past 12'' is overkill and your just using a crap load of extra air/co2. the longer the barrel the more gas you use up.

go for the 21 rifled. rifling puts amazing spin on the ball works better than flatline and you will hit enemy every shot.

14" empire twister or 14" J&J, the Empire is harder to clean compared to the J&J, but those practically clean themselves.
