i havnt used it but from what i kno anything above 16" is pointless. it wont make ure accuracy better just becuase it is longer. it may look good though ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom -Response Trigger -Double Trigger -32 Degrees NightStick Barrel -Pen Spring Mod -Straw Mod -Polished Internals -Co2 -18 bps "You are unique...just like everyone else" |

it may be very good. im just saying that it probably does the same thing as a 14" barrel. but it still looks pretty awesome ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom -Response Trigger -Double Trigger -32 Degrees NightStick Barrel -Pen Spring Mod -Straw Mod -Polished Internals -Co2 -18 bps "You are unique...just like everyone else" |

OK, here's the deal... from what I've been told, anything above 14" doesn't improve your gas efficiency. This is because unlike a real gun, the velocity is constant. So anything above 14" will require more gas to launch the paintball at around 290 fps, due to the effects of DRAG. This is not saying that a longer barrel will not produce a more accurate shot (logically the longer the barrel, the longer the shot remains on target with at steady aim before exiting the barrel), but it will use more air and thus be less efficient, and that extra amount of air and friction can cause more busted balls. It's all in the physics. ------------- Short on posts, long on Knowledge! |

Ah, here is what I posted on another thread... It was 12" not 14" like is said, but depending on porting i've also heard that the difference between 12" and 14" isn't too bad, but once you go about 14" it becomes noticable
