Why do i only see short barrels on autocockers. I thought you were supposed to not get any barrel under 14"?

**predator14** · October 16th, 04:05 PM

cuz cockers are so pimp they dont need new barrels...

**pacoeltaco** · October 16th, 05:16 PM

y would u get anything LONGER than a 14inch barrel

***NYY*** · October 16th, 05:35 PM

12"-16" are acceptable lengths. Anything under or lower and you are asking for trouble

**Boomer_Sniper** · October 16th, 09:47 PM

agree, 14"s the best

**Infinit** · October 16th, 10:12 PM

That's kind of a weird question, whoever you listened to and heard that, never listen to them again. I've only seen a few cockers with barrels shorter than 12"... Strange.

**DrinkPaintDie** · October 16th, 10:13 PM

I know that popular opinion is that 12-16 is best, but when I look at the autococker pics thread most of them are shorter than that. I'm just wondering why.

eh, i tend to like the 12 inch barrel, improved game for me..

I know Jim has a short barrel when he had his cocker. He said it was just as accurate as any other barrel he used. Other than him, I know of no one who uses a short barrel on their cockers. Maybe because of how the threads are not at the end of the gun (front block is), it looks shorter 0?

**Cocker16** · October 17th, 12:51 AM

how they cocker is set up makes the barrel look short.w/ the pneumatics and everything. i have 16inch allamerican on mine.

**DemoCommando** · October 17th, 01:04 AM

Looking back at the pictures i noticed that most of them seemed to be 12 inch but i got confused because i was used to my spyder with the threads at the end of the gun. Thanks for the replys

**tippmannbeast** · October 17th, 01:48 PM

I have a 10" red freak tip and a black all american 12" tip, so I can kinda choose what I feel like using. I haven't really tested the difference yet

**inkjt510** · October 17th, 02:19 PM

I play front and rock a fourteen. Soon I'm getting a Lucky 15 kit cause I <3 long barrels for pushng airball bunkers.

**Alexmo123** · October 17th, 02:21 PM

15 is best length, or 14

Flatliner105 · October 17th, 04:28 PM

best length IS 12......length of barrel has apsoultly nothing to do with accuracy....if you get the exact same barrel you will not notice n e thing between a 12 inch and a 14 inch and a 16 inch.

What makes ur gun accurate is your gun consistancy...and paint to barrel match.

i have a 12 inch pipe and i have NOT seen anything more accurate. peopel agree, its accurate as hell. If i miss a target...its because I didnt line the gun up right...not because of the barrel making the paint innacurate.

choose between a 12 and 14 inch...i wouldnt go any longer or shorter

**DrinkPaintDie** · October 17th, 06:54 PM

Well i went and got a 2k4 cocker and a 14 inch Evil Driver so i think i will be happy with the size
