the 16 may be a little quieter but other than that you wont notice an acuraccy difference......anything over around 10 inches produces similar results with paintball markers....most people seem to use a 14 these days

go for the 14 unless you are a back player in which case the longer barrel may be useful

hardly any difference whatsoever really. all about paint fit, not length. longer barrels use more gas aswell
