Either get a Hammerhead Shark Tooth or an End Game Stub Nose Barrel. Both of those are 3" and they are great barrels. Or if you want something alittle bigger, you can get a 8" Lapco Bigshot. All great barrels for the price. ------------- Gear: Smart Parts Ion Tech T Bolt CCM Feedneck NDZ Roller Trigger CP Razor Drop Forward Virtue Board CP ASA On/Off Freak Kit 14" 360 QEV Shocker Regulator |

The idea barrel length is rated somewhere between12-16 inches. Understanding that cutting the size will effect accuracy their are two things you could do. check out special ops for their snub nose barrel. Its about 5 inches. They also have a new one coming out called a shark tooth thats supposedly better. In all honestly, I would just go with a good quality 8 inch lapco bigshot. ------------- "The key in war isn't to die for your country, but to make the othe bastard die for his". |

Indeed^ the bigshot never fails With smaller barrels its also harder to poke through brush, or get around the edges of trees or walls. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

The hammerhead shark tooth is actually a 5.5" barrel and uses different backs for the bore sizing. VERY accurate, I have it on my A5. |

The Shark Tooth is very accurate. Speaking by experience. ------------- Gear: Smart Parts Ion Tech T Bolt CCM Feedneck NDZ Roller Trigger CP Razor Drop Forward Virtue Board CP ASA On/Off Freak Kit 14" 360 QEV Shocker Regulator |

I have a 4'' barrel cut from the stock, and it's just as accurate... I'd say it depends on the quality of the barrel, not the length. You just need to turn velocity up a bit more with a shorter barrel. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |
