A dilemma faces by pumpers worldwide! Welcome to the club :-)

>> wich is the best

Whichever one you feel the most comfortable with, my friend. Direct feed might be a little easier for you to transition to pump from semi play, but stock-class forces you to play with your head.

>> wich has the longest barrel?

The longest barrel is 14" long. You really don't need anything longer than 8", which makes it super-handy for speedball.

>> how quiet and accurate is the phantom...?

Compared to other markers it's considerably quieter, especially compared to blowbacks like the Spyder. It's far from silent, though.

Accuracy? Your perceived accuracy will be much greater, and with a bit or practice you'll get more eliminations with fewer rounds. I'd go as far to say pumps are a teeny bit more accurate than blowbacks, and maybe have a few more feet of accurate range. Because you're shooting a pump, it'll *feel* a lot more accurate, and you'll develop into a much better shot because you'll have to rely on marksmanship instead of ROF.
