Short Barrels

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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
