So, for all intents and purposes, this discussion over barrel length is immaterial.
Its not really about being correct, but by just basic operations of a Tippmann alone we should be able to see why it doesn't make sense, or really apply to a Tippmann (unless equipped with an RVA).

All other markers operate on a Spring Tension velocity type adjustment, while Tippmann (to my knowledge) is the only one with the FVA type adjustment.
