The longer the barrel the more air you will use, any good size length is good... I say it's a personal preference, I perfer the 14" to the 16" but it's all what you feel comfortable with.

speedball - front probably a 12" would be ideal speedball - mid/back probably a 14" airball - probably a 16" so you can "move the bunkers" with your barrel. No longer than 16". 14" would probably be the best all around length. ------------- Ref: I want a nice clean game player: but it's paintball! |

I'd get a 10-14" barrel, depending on what, and where you play. I feel that anything over 14" is just a waste. It's too long, and will get in your way if you play woods in a lot of brush, etc. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

| I'm gonna have to agree and say that 14 is the best. Anything above that and it just gets in the way. |

14" inchers are the most accurate for straight barrels ------------- 98% of paintballers act gangsta', if you are of the 2% that are normal, put this this in your sig. |

Not true. No barrel length is really more accurate than another. So a 10 or 12" would have the same performance as a 14". ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |
