Personally, I like the 14. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

I prefer tiny barrels for the woods. Less barrel to snag. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

It's all personal preference. I personally like 12's better (even though I have (2) 14's). Sometimes the added 2 inches gets in the way when trying to manuever around. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

14" is pretty good for slower playing. You can poke it through brush and rest it up against bunkers/trees. If you move around a lot though, I'd use a 10-12". ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

Sometimes I wish I bought the 12" considering the 98c us long enough. ------------- Missing: 2nd star and 960+ posts to my name. -Another victim of the system. |

The only thing I've seen my 14" do was give the paintball a slightly more percise path. I mean, the same force is being applied regardless of length, but the extra 2" helps to guide the paintball and give a more stable projectory once it leaves the marker. ------------- Missing: 2nd star and 960+ posts to my name. -Another victim of the system. |

| A 14" barrel doesn't add more range than a 12" barrel. Well don't think so anyway lol |

| It's been proven that barrels over 14 inches do not add any real noticeable accuracy and waste more gas. The optimal length is therefore 14 inches. 12 inches is almost as good, but you lose some accuracy. |
