12 or 14 inch

Its not just for looks, barrel length affects your performance no matter what people say.

Stop dwelling on this. 2 inches does NOT matter.

unless you went fron a 1" to a 24" i doubt you would ever notice a large air efficiency loss

Prove to me that a longer barrel is better. I want to know WHY!!!

a longer barrel isnt better. i have 12, 16 and 20 inch barrels for my gun and the 20incher sucks the big one. i find that i actually loose distance with this barrel(SP linear) the 16 is only good with good quality paint but when it gets paint it likes then watch out.(Evile Pipe kit) and the 12incher is a barrel i got from rap.com for 34$ and it shoots anything i put through it. i say get a cheap 12inch barrel like a lapco bigshot or J&J ceramic other people swear by them here.i have never used either of them.

yeah but these are completly different barrels of different lengths. to actually tell us that you would have to have a 12, 16, and 20" all the same type of barrel

like i gurantee if you had an 18" freak it would be way more accurate than a 12" ceramic..

Tippyact98, are you stupid? My join date is one month that dosen't mean I've been in paintball for month wow. Anyone who dosen't know that there is no difference from a 12 to 14 inch should lay down and cower. I've been in Paintball for two years which seems to be quite longer than you judgeing what you know among paintball products. I just recently switched to Tippmann and have already done many mods to my gun, much more than you. I have been a Spyder fan and Autococker fan before I came here. Before you judge, you should get the real facts newbie. By the way, I do own the Revo and the Savage Nitro Monster Trucks... And I promise you with the mods I have done with them they will destroy yours, something tells me you haven't strapped a 6 hp engine to your little T-maxx eh? You're acting rather foolish by assumeing things that you don't know. Either way, you're knowledge on THIS forum on PAINTBALL is very low and I can promise you that if you want to do a test on who knows more, I'll win. P.S. For someone who joined in august for you to only have 8-10 posts is really really sad.. you are contribute to this forum don't you? Hah.
Keep asking the same questions over and people are bound to get annoyed moron.

Sorry, I can't stand people that don't think before they speak, He was stupid enough to say "You joined in bla bla bla I joined before you!" ... yet the fool only has  8 posts and hes been here MUCH longer than me... yet I have many most posts and actually SOLVE other peoples problems... :-\ foolish if you ask me

I have to apologize to revoxt. I didn't know that 2 years is the minimum you need to bash on a newb who wants to LEARN from others with knowledege. you would think that people would want to help a new guy learn. Even if it involves some stupid questions. yes I have asked this question before and it was ansewered. By revoxt with his vast knowledge of paintball. I then bought a 12inch. As I stated before I'm a newb. I never suggested I new more than anyone on this paintball forum. I do know that when someone asks a question that you should not act as if you don't have time to help a new guy out. Thats a good way to promote the sport of paintball. Don't you think? And as my contribution on this forum, I will start with this poll. Who knows maybe a newb will read it and it will help him/her with there next purchase? I hope in 2 years that I have not forgotten what it was like to not know a thing about paintball. And make time for the stupid questions so that a newb can enjoy the sport as much as I do.
