most say balls keep accelerating to 10 inches so keep the barrel that long...12 inches if ported. any longer than that and it reduces air efficiency and shorter is not as accurate...as most barrels are ported then 12 is best length...BUT!...the longer the ported barrel the quieter it gets so your 16 inch barrel is much quieter than a 12 inch barrel and it sacrifices not too much air efficiency. but an 8 inch barrel doesnt leave enough length to stabilize the shot AND the ball is still accelerating as it leaves the barrel so its not very round popping out the end ....not a good thing... i personally use 14 inch on all my guns...eclipse shocker and black magic autococker...but to each his own....
