Barrel length

Postby Tankwitch » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:39 pm

While looking around at various airsoft guns I noticed that barrel length can vary greatly. So what do you think is the shortest you would use for CQB? How about in the field?

ive put a 3inch barrel on my gun before with a 150 mm barrel. not accurate but helps when your shooting over 35 rps.

I don't play indoors, so most of my guns are between 14.5" and 24". (360ish and 610ish mm). Other than some SMGs, I think the shortest barreled gun I use regularly is one of the 10" CA LWRC M6 carbines.

I've used a 14.5" barrel indoors.

I kept hitting everything, even a kid once. To be honest, I never noticed he crossed my field of view.

Otherwise, 14.5" all the way. It works for everything. Kind of.
