    14". Realistically anything over 14 is excessive...

    Unless you are playing on an airball field, I wouldn't recommend anything over 14". Just my opinion though.

    I use a 14 myself. now taking into consideration your style of play.. are you a paint hoser? are you conservative on paint? do you have a fairly consistent marker, C02 or compressed air?,, the minimum would be 14 and also taking into consideration the QUALITY of today's paint, a longer 16" barrel won't give you more accuracy, can hinder your style of play.... I'll stick to 14"

    good luck

    No those will not interchange with your cocker threaded markers. It is good that you have two that use the same threaded barrel, now you can swap the barrel when you swap the marker.
    I have tried many different barrels and still swap around all the time. I like carbon fiber, light and in my opinion quieter than any other kind.
    Good shopping 1shot....

    You will not notice any change in accuracy between 12in, 14in, 16in and greater. A 16in will not give you any more accuracy than a 14in. That is a common myth.
