ive used everything from a 10-16 and a Flatline

Personally i like around a 12 or 14 the best.

whatever you are comfortable with. Barrel length does not matter accuracy wise or anything like that, but it will decrease gas efficiency the longer/more porting it has. My happy length is 12, I have a 12.8 inch Equation (custom tip) and a 12" progressive (came on CCM cocker, not my choice). airball is fun with a 16 incher though, you can really hug the bunkers.

i usually use either a 12 or 14. Keeps the guns length down and is a good enough size to accelerate the ball.

I refuse to use anything that isn't rifled or less than 24"
:rolleyes:

12" is my preferred length

i prefer a 16 inch easier for me to work airball and doesnt hinder me playing hyper ball sooo..........
