in woodsball that probably wont matter. it might affect a bit in speedball

Oh man...

I could go on and on here. There is going to be no performance difference in these two inches, so I assume you are speaking of sheer length. Two inches on a paintball marker might as well be 2 miles...

i've never heard of either of those barrels... or are they the ak47 and the m16 one.   If so, they're ugly and crap, if you want the apex get the original one.

No matter which apex you get... they all curve the ball.
