What is the shortest barrel possible?

[56kSomeGuy]

I right now have two barrels and there both 14in. To me these barrels are too long I want a more compact marker. So I want the shortest barrel possible without it hurting performance. Does anyone know what is a good size and what type of barrel I should get?

After 8 inches, I doesn't really help any but to slow down the ball (thus using more air) and make less noise.

accually newbs have 16,18,20,21,24,32 inch barrels experienced have 12,8,7.5. That is just what ive noticed. The only barrel shorter than 10" that i know of is the bigshot 7.5"

hiya blink let me be the first to say you suck , anyway 7" unported is teh optimum length i say go for a 10 or 12 i personally use a 14" and play back so it doesnt get in the way

~edit~ and not only newbs have barrels over 12" you tard do you even play tourney ball i mean i have yet to see front guys run anything shorther than 12, and most run 14's backs use between 14's and 18's some even use 20's! you gotta control the gun and bunker not let them control you~~

i voted 12". Lapco is great. their 12"ers are very nice, however on airball a 14 or 16" can be nice to "move" the bunkers around a little. gets a little tighter profile, but overall as playing both front (and more recently) back, i love my 12" Lapcos

Not to get into a mudslinging match or anything, but I can vouch for Dansim's playing ability... My team just played a very good game against his last weekend.

(Look forward to seeing you soon Dansim.)

I use a 12" barrel by the way...

Hey blink, good way to start off here, making fun of a well-respected member. Props to you.

You, my young padawan, are not intelligent.

Oh yeah, I personally use a 12 inch cp. Beyond 12 inches, consistency starts drop through the floor. Granted, 7 inches IS the most efficient, however, for most uses, that just isn't practical. You want to be able to "aim" with your barrel, and use it to push bunkers, or rest on the side, top of a bunker. So, 10 or 12 inches is my vote. Or 14 if you play back and don't mind having a slightly less efficiency.

I use a 12".

start off here? Ive been here a year longer than you son.....and i dont care if he's the dali lama of paintball he said I suck....resulting in my retaliation....
