10" CP barrel too small?

[CarloFunk]

I am just about fed up with my 14" Eliminator.. I have decided that i am no longer playing rec games, and im sticking to speedball, because it is so far superior ;). Well, i am having a problem with the length of the eliminator... its much too long, and the end always ends up in the dirt or against the bunker or something... So, i have it pretty much down to 2 choices.. Either a 10"CP barrel which i realy like, although i havent shot it, or a 12" progressive.. Now i have heard the 12" progressive is a bit more accurate, and it is $10 cheaper.. but i think that the 12" may be a bit too long still, i mean i really like the compactness of the 10"

Hmmm...I find my 14" barrel fine for speedball. Go for a 12".

Hmm, well, the main speedball field i play at, which is a home made one, requires extra compact-ness, because most of the pallets are about 3' high, maybe a little more. So i really need to get down and hide.. the 14 is just a little cumbersome for those conditions.

a paintball reaches its maximum velocity at 8.5" down the barrel, but you do want about 1.5" afterwards for accuracy, so i think a 10" cp would be just right

10" all the way!
