go with a 12, 14 is good but you realy don't need anything bigger

If you play on an airball field, then a 14inch will help you bend in the bunker a little and have a smaller profile.

I agree. I am a back player, mid at times, but mostly back. I have a 14 for Sup Air fields, and a 10 for none Sup Air. Use the 14 to help Bend the bunkers on a Sup Air field. Everything else, a 10 or 12 would get you by. I play with the barrel as short as I can get it actually. But 10 is about the smallest I will go. To me it is all in personal preference. But running an 18+ is just plain nuts. You cant slide into a bunker and stay behind it when your barrel hangs up there like a flag pole.

12. good length. easy to find

[i_baked_cookies]

10 for front
12-14 for back
16 for big woods
18 if ur crazy
20 if ur retarted

anything less than 10 isnt that good, at least from what ive seen

[Ov3rmind]

14"-16" for airball
12" for everything else

12 is the perfect length. nuff said

I use a 8 inch minimag stock barrel. It shoots very good. Works awesome on Sup air.

Ill agree with that. We had a moron that kept trying to tell everyone he could shoot farther and with more accuracy with a longer barrel. So he had a custom barrel made for his shocker. Was a 28" barrel. He had to run so much pressure into the marker to get anything out of it, he blew an oring, or two, at least once a day. Was some funny stuff to see him draging that monster barrel out of the car with a shocker attached to the back of it. The barrel would be a foot or so out of his car when the shocker would start to emerge.

I have an ACI Phat system for reference

I have used just the back (like 5") with some success in the rain (this gets rid of the porting)

I normally use the shortest front - making it like 10"

On airball fields I go up one size to push bunkers.

How so? That wouldn't really give you enough to poke around an airball bunker.

i have an 8 inch barrel, but its only 6.5 inches when screwed in

i've been questioned "wheres the rest of your barrel?"
yet they were serious about it lol

its also LOOUD BOOM BOOOM BOOM BOMBOMB

10-16 is the magic numbers...

16-airball
14-back/mid
12-front/mid
10-front

but then all this depends on the barrel
because of the porting...

[68Classic]

It's barely enough, but its able to poke around. I really like it, but as dinger said, it is very loud.
