12 inches is probably a bit too long. Anything over 9" is probably not helping you much and 6" is the shortest you'd want to go. Singled, you might get away with 12" but even then 9" would probably do the trick. I'd say start with 9" and go from there, you can always take more off. Just for the record, I typically use 6".How long should the AT2K's barrels be? Im considering 12 inches. I'm using PETG, with a pen inside the turret for stability, the standard duct tape wrapped around, and with the pump lugged. Just thought you'd like to know my motives.

I tried a 12" barrel on a singled one the other day, its too long. The dart came out ridiculously slow, and I was like "Why does everyone like these so damned much?". Needless to say the barrel is about 8-9" now.12 inches is probably a bit too long. Anything over 9" is probably not helping you much and 6" is the shortest you'd want to go.

Yeah, occasionally you can get away with it, but like I mentioned, I use 6" when quadded and I wouldn't go over 9" singled.I tried a 12" barrel on a singled one the other day, its too long.

How does someone generally load a long barrel thats not a breech? A ramrod?
Also I ripped the goo thing off mine and absolutely covered the theing with hot glue. I check for leaks, fix them, and everytime they're in a new place. This has led me to believe somethings blocked, and I wanted to know how I could possibly fix this problem.

Well it could be a coupler and not just a long barrel. Couplers are long barrels that are detachable and you manually feed the dart into the end of it that goes into the gun so it travels through the entire barrel when fired.SInce this is a AT2K questions thread I thought I'd post mine also.

Yes, ramroding is used sometimes. I even use it on my NF sometimes.

What do you mean you think something's blocked?
Yes, that goo gauge is a pain to deal with. Try this mod. That way you get rid of the gauge completely.
I did this in a different way. Instead of finding smaller ID tubing, I just dremmeled the hole a little wider.
Oh yeah, and don't use hot glue to fix leaks.
