| A 16" is way too long, it will use up a lot more Co2 than when you use a 12", and having a longer barrel will still have as much accuracy as any 12". |

I like 14" because it's not too long not too short.

Id go with the 14 cause that is the happy medium, u get the accuracy w/o the wasted gas though a longer barrel ------------- A little less talk... and a little more shut the hell up!!! |

I have a 16 in JJceramic and It is amazing, I have not noticed any chane in gas useage or shot per tank, If anything its helping me alot, f course it wastes alittle bit of gas, for example if u have a 10 foot long barrel then its gonna take a whole ton of force to get a ball from one end to the other, most people are just over exagerating when that say that. Good luck ------------- ~Marker setup~ 2K1 Autococker Rt Feed 12in Freak ANS 3-Way Black Houge Grip Shocktech Drop Forward TippmannA5 16in J&Jceramic r/t 2X trigger Blue Dye c4 |
