i would go with the J&J. The size of the 12 or 14' doesn't matter. They will give you about the same accuracy. It just coes down to how long do you like your gun or what position you play. I like my Ion being small so I got a 12' pipe kit.

Here's the story...
They're both nice, but I think the Lapco is better. From experience, I think it shoots straighter and is more accurate than the J&J. Also, I just think it looks nicer. Now, for the 12" or 14"... I'd say go 12" because the extra 2" of the 14" could get in the way at some point. You're getting the same functionality, so why not make it smaller/lighter? |

Lapco 12". The Lapco is more accurate but the J&J is quieter,and lighter. |

I have both. I believe the Lapco is slightly more accurate (even in the shorter lengths-mine is 8 inches) but the J&J is quieter. The J&J shoots through breaks much better than the Lapco.

I love my 14" JJ. It shoots multiple types of paint without problems, cleans itself, and is rather quiet. It is also able to accept teh Apex tip for added distance should you want it.

Wanna shoot through a break? Use some Rain-X in the barrel. Follow the directions like you'd do the windshield of a car (two coats and buff). The Rain-X will fill in all those very fine machine marks and it will be glass smooth. Accuracy improves and paint won't stick if you get a break. Three or 4 shots and you're good to go again. |

you forgot to mention the fact that the j&j can shoot through broken paint in the barrel, while the big shot needes to be cleaned |
