12" for speedball, 14" for bushball.
I like the compactness of the 12" for speedball, but the 14" is easier to aim, for when I'm lingballing in teh bush.

12 inch... as Tom (a.k.a. god of paintball tech) says, when you have a barrell the length to the porting is the "effective length". The best size he says is 12 inches, and ten would be to little.

Im sorry I can not vote. Pie is not an option.
I cant fire 14 in barrels. They are just WAY too big for me.
I can stand 12 inches but 10 is my fave
10" for a mag...12" for any other gun.
12" is fine, with a Mag, like 2" of the barrel is already in the marker, so its like having a 10". Add that to the compactness of the Mag, and you've got a very maneuverable marker.
rock the 16 or go home
anything past 12 you start losing efficency as there's more drag on the ball and friction in the barrel which is made up for by turning the velocity up.
12's my favorite length, not too loud, efficent an not too long
i like 10 inch barrel with 1 to 2 inches of porting
i dont need any more than that
12" max, no more, no less.

My Feedback
I voted for 10 but I could stand 12.
There's a guy at my field who shoots like a 4 inch barrel. It's an Equation kit with just the back and a tip.

Do you have a single button on your computer that enters in this phrase for you? We heard you the first, second, third (and so on) time. You have claimed before that a 16" barrel allows you to "kill more people". Could you explain why, or does "rock the 16 or go home" pretty much cover it?Originally posted by blnk162
rock the 16 or go home
Your head asplode!

uh i think youve mistaken
most barrels that are 12 have less than 12" of non porting because most barrrels have porting.
and it doesnt make a difference really in the freak but i still have a 12
I use 12" for everything, it's what I'm comfortable with.

16 is ideal for sup air and hyperball, can stick the barrel through hyperball cracks to get kills you couldnt with a 10 or 12 inch and much easier to wrap around airball bunkers.Originally posted by davidb

Also my teamate who rocks an 18 inch said if you have a 19 foot barrel, and your target is 20 feet away your going to hit it, yeah your going to say do you know how much air it would take to get a ball out of a barrel that long and so on, granted that isnt going to happen but you get the picture aiming wise...
Just try a 16 inch sometime before knocking it
no, 16 in barrels do not allow you to play as tight, and put more drag on the ball. all you need is a 10 inch, i prefer a 12 in for aiming purposes

four inches won't help you that much. if you want to add four inches, take the drop forward off of your tank or hold your arm straight!!! that's my $0.02

well, i currently use a 12" but I want to get a 16 incher.
Well I have to admit that I had misjudged you. I thought you were one of those that went for the "more range" hype and had thus been taking all of your posts with undeserved extra grains of salt. I am very impressed with the maturity level of your response and you just gained 10 points in my book.Originally posted by blnk162

As for the 16 inch barrel though, it's just not for me. I don't do much airball, and even if I did I would prefer a shorter barrel. I am currently rockin' a Lapco Autospirit on my gun, so I don't have to tell you how long it is. When I eventually get a Mag (holding off for glut of money in pockets and release of Extreme E-Mag) I will probably end up with a Freak kit with all the tips from 12" on down. But if you like the 16", you apparently have a good reason for it.
Actually yes that 4 inches does help a lot, and i dont use a dropforward.....Originally posted by RT pRo AuToMaG

i use a small cradle but the only reason i have that is so that i can use the on/off asa. If i had a non screwin tank, i wouldn't use a drop at all. And ya roc da 16 baby
i like 8-10 for speedball and 12 for woods... too bad i only have a 8 and 10 but no 12 lol

14 inchs on a Supa'Air ball 5vs5, as I play in the back.
14 or 16 inchs on 7vs7, depending on the needs (16 inchs is hard to move from one side to the other side of the bunker when you're the last man standing and needs to switch damn fast)
My front players play with 12 inchs barrels.

As a back player I fully agree with everyone who talked about the 16" and being able to push it into sup air and into the grooves of Hyper ball. I was shooting 12" and saw other players really taking advantage to the longer barrels to work the bunkers. I got some good deals on 14" barrels but I really wish I had gotten the 16".

haha...I'm the one that started it and haven't posted mine. i'm a front player and I prefer 12. not to short, not to long....just right
I voted 12, my 12" J&J Ceramic is nice. Perfect for a front player. I want to try a 10" though, I've never had the chance to use one.
