In General, Paintball Barrels Come In Twelve, Fourteen, Sixteen, Eighteen And Twenty Inches. However, Some Paintball Players Have Their Barrels Customized And May Even Reach A Whooping Forty Eight Inches. The Length Of A Paintball Barrel Has No Effect On The Paintball Markers Accuracy. On The Other Hand, Longer Paintball Barrels Tend To Make Less Noise Than Short Barrels. This Is Because Long Paintball Barrels Allow The Excess Gas To Escape Slower Than Short Barrels. With This, It Allows The Shooter To Sight In Faster By Which Would Eventually Lead To The Perception That Longer Barrels Are More Accurate Than Short Barrels. Long Paintball Barrels Also Require More Boost In Order For The Paintball To Travel At The Required Velocity. Most Paintball Markers Have Ports. Ports Are The Holes On The End Of The Barrels. Ports Allow The Air Thrust To Scatter Hence Decreasing The Sound Of The Paintball Marker. On The Other Hand, Too Much Porting On The Paintball Barrel Minimizes The Efficiency Of The Paintball Marker Because It Allows The Air Thrust To Scatter More Easily.
