      its ok for him to have his opinions but to make fun of some one for not having the same opinion as his, or asking an honest question proves how narrow minded, and inconsiderate we as humans are. not to mention us violating his opinion by attacking him...
      -I know what you mean about all the new people on the boards. I haven't been a member for long, but i have been surfing through here just reading posts. I hadn't been on in a while.. and posted my post (which was a stupid post.. i know that now that i look back at it). All of a sudden a wave of people start flaming.. lol. I was like, i don't remember AO being like this..

      - For the 2nd part of your comment, that's what i meant about respecting eachothers opinnions. I meant it mainly for blink, but also for some of the AO guys. I realize when you've been offended by something, it's very hard to respect the other persons oppinion.. heh

      - Also, i now know not to flame Dansim.. lol

        a little post whoring on my part

        Honestly I have too many markers (and barrels to go with them).
        The barrel choice depends alot on the player and the type of field.
        10 inch and under is great for indoors and other in tight play.
        12 inch barrels (my second choice) because they produce less noise and can get a little leverage against sup air bunckers also slicing the pie is easier with this lengeth then those longer.
        14 inch barrels (what I mostly use) decent sound level and can still push the bunker.
        (Also there is a wide variety at this length some barrels under 14 and 12 inches are hard to find)
        16 inch barrels (back player with a shocker) can lean on and move that sup air bunker.

        And am I a noob because I recently rejoined AO and only have a few posts?

        and stuff
        Paintball is a game and ment to be fun...... when it stops being fun it is time to stop

            I used a 16" (AA)playing mid in a 5-man tournament today... loved it. It gives me more to sight down, plus I can push my bunker all over the place... one thing to realize is that with twist lock, a 16" mag barrel feels more like a 14 on another gun in terms of sticking out past the breech.

                Funny, it was my understanding that 12" - 14" barrel was the best length for a trade off between ball stablization and air efficency. If the barrel is too short the ball won't be as accurate, but if the barrel is too long you're just wasting air to get it out of the barrel at the right velocity. Personally I think that a 12" barrel is short enough, but i wouldn't go any shortter than 10". as for the shortest I've seen?

                I have a friend with a minimag and an armason barrel. The mussel break on the barrel is the only thing that shows past the shroud on the minimag body. It looks like a 1" barrel but it' actually closer to 7" or 8" I can't remember which forsure.

                  Once i get around to it i want an 8 to replace the stock emag barrel, partly for compactness, partly for the cannonish sound you get from unported barrels.

                  As far as the attitude of AO, since i started reading about a year ago its gone in cycles, it sucks for a while then it gets better and then it sucks, even when it sucks it seems better than the others ive read.

                  i dont like signatures. so i turned them off. AO is much better this way.

                              I like a 12-14" for speedball, but in the deep woods, I love my 16" Armson Stealth. I don't care if it eats too much gas, I like the trajectory(sp?) of it...

                                I've got a 3" barrel and it's just about as accurate as it was before I cut it down.

                                .
