For some reason when i was playing today and when i was just target shooting my gun was acting strange. I just installed the double trigger and it seemed like the CO2 wasnt getting to the 98 custom fast enough. But then about towards the end it started shooting normal. Is this b/c the marker was breaking the double trigger in or wat? Also about wat u guys said about 20 inch barrel's and anything over 16. I have to disagree even tho the tests prove me wrong. B/c when i was playing my barrel couldnt do a rapid fire or lay down cover fire. But when i was loading the gun one paintball at a time i shot 1 to 3 hoppers full of paint and not one busted. Almost 3/4 of the paintball's went straight at what i was shooting at and hit my target. So i like my 20 inch barrel and my 14 inch barrel had a tendency to curve at a few shots and there was nothing in my barrel( no dirt or bust, etc). Is this normal or did the tester's not shoot one shot a time?

well. No matter whether u installed a egrip or not, ur air tank sounded like it was either all liquid in the beginning, which can hold it down, then went air, and the 20 inch thing is just a coincidence. It actually was prob. accurate as the 16", but to ur vision wasn't.

I'm not sure about your gun's problem, but I can explain a bit on the barrel issue. I see that you have a nice SP 20 inch barrel. Now most 20, 21" barrels are of very poor quality, but your's isn't so. Now you don't state what type of barrel your 14 incher is, but it sounds like it isn't working like it should or is of poor craftsmanship. Equal 14 and 20" barrels will have the same accuracy, but the 20" will use more air to do so and is very bulky which affects the shooter's crucial movement. That's why 12-16" barrels are preferred.

I didnt have a problem with it being big i just learned to get used to it and it seems to work. And about what duke said no to the 14 inch. My 14 inch SP barrel seemed to go straight for about 30 yards or so then it'd curve but with my 20 inch SP barrel it'd go straight for about 50 to 75 yards. Also i have proof b/c when we started our first game i hit a player with 3 shots from my guess about a good 60 yards maybe more just above the thighs. I've never had a hit like that with my 14 inch barrel so i think im liking my 20 incher right now

My friend has a 22 inch Blitz barrel and it seemed like his gun had trouble keeping the paintball from busting in his barrel. he has it in a 3 piece design as well. 12 rear 5 middle and 5 front. He has an MR1 Spyder but when the paintball got out of the barrel they were pretty close to hitting their target which was me.
