does barrel length really matter when it comes to accuracy?

Not really.

Barrel to paint match has a MUCH bigger effect on accuracy and distance.

Most barrels shoot fairly accurately with the right paint match.

However, remember that most guys prefer at least a 14" barrel to push back air bunkers.

I think anything longer than 14 is not needed.

Like mentioned before paint to barrel match will give better reults.

14inch are good.

The paintball only accelerates for the first 12inches anyways.

Well, if it only accelerates the first 12 inches, then would having a 10 inch barrel decrese speed, accuracy or distance?

I should think so...
