Teardrop 12 or 14?

[lbvman]

I just started woodsballing seriously just recently, and i just want to know if i should get the 12" or the 14" teardrop barrel? I'm using an 98c and still on the stock barrel

There's really not a whole lot of noticable difference between the 12" and 14". They'll basically shoot the same. Just depends on how tight you want to be able to tuck into your bunker. I just got a 14" Progressive barrel the other day. It's just like the Tear Drop with out the dipped porting. It does good. So maybe go with the 14" I guess.

Thanks. Is there much difference between the teardrop and the progressive other than the price?

i would go with the 14", even though there is not much difference...it will shoot slightly better and plus, you can probably get it for the same price.

No. Just the price and look are different.

I would personally choose the Teardrop(my opinion). I like how they look. Here are some barrels.

Teardrop 12" Black

Note*
These barrels are for Model 98 markers. I think they will still work for Custom 98 markers though. I dont know since I dont have a Tippman.

Enjoy!! ;)

i got the 12in and its great, but for woods,id prob go with the 14

Tear drop is better, that is for sure. However for the price and the amount it is better... if you need to think economy go with the progressive.

I did, and I don't feel bad about it at all.

Teardrop is better, but not by much.

[lbvman]

thanks all you guys, i think probably tomorrow i'll order the teardrop 14"

There is a good article on barrels at ottersccustoms.com that explains barrel lengths. I think its 10 inches minimum, and 14 inches max. any less, and the ball wont reach max velocity, and any longer would cause excessive gas consumption. I just ordered a 14in the other night, ill try it out against my brothers 12" AA barrel, and see if there is a range difference. I doubt there will be, but ill find out for sure :)

[paintballerdude45]

well theres not a huge difference between those 2 i did here though that the longer the barrel the more c02 im not really sure u might want 2 ask a few more people about that


so i guess that i would go with 12 in overall its not gonna be a huge difference

[joescarff10]

14...

a length of 2" can change your accuracy a little but look at it this way

more distance or better accuracy
