I think www.paintballravi.com has an article about barrel length. Paintball barrels don't work like rifle barrels. Longer is not necessarily more accurate. One benefit players are now claiming for longer barrels is the ability to push them into the side of an inflatable bunker in order to shoot without being as vulnerable. Personally, I've never found a significant difference between 12 and 14 inch barrels.

: I'm wanting to get a scepter barrel system, but the question is, 12" or 14"? I know that 14" i supposedly more accurate in theory, but is it really? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
