Sorry if this is a noobish question... I have been playing paintball for about 6 months and I would like a good opinion on this. I am trying to decide on either a 12" or 14" barrel... however I want good accuracy yet I want to have a small profile (as I play speedball a lot). What would you guys recomend?

Get anywhere from a 12"-16" it's preference thruogh those lenghts, anything over 16" is just wasteful.

Length has nothing to do with accuracy. 14" will make it easier to wrap around air bunkers, but really, if you choose anything between 12 and 16 inches for length you'll be golden.

Yup, I prefer a 14'' even tho im front, it allows me to push and work the bunkers easier. But like everyone else said 12-16 is cool.

A barrel hardly affects your profile and length doesn't mean accuracy.
I'd recommend going with a 14" or 16" barrel. Practical length that you can push bunkers with but not too long as to be awkward.

If you play the front---"12
Middle--- "14
Back---"16
Small profile...try a "12

Like they all said, it's all preferance. Some people prefer 16" and other's more like 12". Try looking in the stickies next time before you post.
