| I need to know if i should get an 8 inch lapco bigshot barrel for my A-5 since i use it for speedball and woodsball. Plus i dont have enough money for a new gun. |

The 8" is more useful in woodsball or in scenario games since its a close quarter barrel (up close and personal) and I havent seen anyone using a barrel no shorter than a 12" barrel in speedball.

good length for woodsball and speedballl plus great accuracy but won't

| I'd go at least 10-14 if you play speedball, since it is useful for pushing into the sides of air bunkers. |

The smallest you should go is 10 inches. I personally think the 12inch is perfect. ------------- http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=260991706090alb8rs.jpg">

Just be sure not to go over 16". Anything over that is a waste of air.
