: What do you think is better for a phantom? The nickle plated only goes up to 14 in while the dye goes up to 18in. What do you think is quieter? Which do you think is more accurate? I like longer barrels so do you think i should get the 18in dye?

About the only thing a reeeeeally long barrel will do for you is help you fire out of thick cover. Aside from that, anything over 14" actually reduces your effective range by slowing the ball down before it exits the barrel. While Dye sells a lot of high-quality barrels for just about anything (including the Phantom), I have been told time and time again that the Phantom barrel is just as good, usually quieter, and much more efficient than any other after-market barrel. I still haven't got my Phantom in the mail yet, but I ordered both an 11" regular and 14" nickel-plated barrel, so once I get out and try them, I'll let you know what the difference is.
