    I use a 10" Freak and have noticed no major difference that from when I am using the 14".
    I like how the 10 tucks better and the fact that you can snap shoot with it faster IMO.I think it has a lot to do with preference.
    In "air" the longer barrel does help a lot,as has already been explained.

        i use a 12in AA, i kinda wish i had a shorter one some times though. i kinda like the 8in stock barrel, but that's only usefull at my 1 feild w/ plastic bunkers, and you need to get super tight

          I play front for my team and I use a 10" barrel. I like the fact that it keeps the overall length of my gun shorter and tighter for the small spaces I have to get in. To each his own though. I've used a 12" and a 14" before and they're ok, but the 10 is better IMHO.

            12 in is a good, all around length.

              i rock a 16, its good for pushing bunkers out of the way and beatin people with afterwards.


              however i also have a 14 when im not playing airball, both tips are good.


              just buy 2 damn tips, get a 10 and a 12, used tips go for 30 bucks or so, just get a plain jane black one and your set. problem solved

                I agree with cliff, but if you don't want two tips, I say a 12. If 14s were more air efficient, I would go with that. A 12 gets the tightness of a 10, but enough to push bunkers around like a 14. If air isn't a big problem for you, go with a 14.

                  16 all the way, so much fun with air bunkers.
