most would say yes. Typically you want 8" of non ported barrel. So say I have a barrel that at the end has 2” of porting I would want at least a 10” barrel then. Then there’s you who’s double that so basically your getting less bang for your buck. |

| Get a 14" barrel and be done. 12" has been proven to be the best ratio of velocity to accuracy but i make it 14" to accomedate the 2" 's of porting. |

Anything over 14" is overkill. It wont add distance or accuracy. The only time it's decent is on milsims with longer barrel shrouds. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

all i would say is if it is accurate for you and you like it....keep it. i have a 12" all american and about 75+ feet back i can hit a 3inch wide fence post just fine. if you can do that...then you are set. ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |

i think he was just telling him what he thought in his opinion....and i never thought about that. if you don't like how long it is...all you have to do is buy a smaller front piece ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |
