Re: 16 inch barrel
The more adverse effect will be on your ears from increased muzzle blast. The difference in a 16" versus the "standard" 20" AR-type barrel is about 100 fps with typical loads.

I just acquired a DPMS Lo pro classic that has a 16 inch heavy bull barrel. I was wondering what adverse effects such a short barrel would have on bullet velocity's? Thanks in advance.
