length doesnt really matter.dont get an 18" or 21" barrel.get a 12" or 14" barrel like a lapco bigshot.accuracy does differ between barrels depending which ones you use. like flatline,stock barrel,and bigshot

Length doesn't matter that much. I hear that after 8" ur just wasting co2. And different barrels vary lots n accuracy. Go with a J&J/Bigshot/All American(if you have the money)

yup length doesnt really matter at all. Then the different brands of barrels vary in accuracy. The better the accuracy is pretty much in corillation (sp?) with the prcie. So the more a barrel cost the better accuracy it will have. Most of the time that is true, with some exciptions.

You Wont See Me - "280 FPS is STILL 280 FPS through a Flatline!!!!!!!!!!"

True that.... just cause it has a backspin and it looks diffrent in the air.....does not mean its going any slower.....

and on the issue of barrels.... just go with one a lot of people have tested..personally i got the smart parts progressive... cause i didnt have much cash....and the guy at the pro shop recommend it, just remember.....accuracy is not effected by barrel length.....dont get caught being a n00b.....
