    As to the question at hand for 2 AR's I would say 11.5 with RDS, 14.5 with 1-x optic. Adding a 3rd I would say 14.5-16 with a 2.5-10.

    That's why I said I take velocity figures as a guideline. The general trend is that the 20 inch gives more of a velocity advantage over the 16 than the 18 inch and the 16 inch is handier. In field use (civilian- I'm not LE or Military) I find the 18 and 16 shoot about the same but the 20 shoots noticeably flatter.

    I know the 3 gun guys prefer the 18 inch barrel but I doubt it's from the velocity advantage over the 16 or it's handiness over the 20. I'm willing to bet it gives the shooter a smoother swing than the 16 without needing as much muscle to move as the 20
    I would argue the main advantage is the gas system (rifle length on 18"). Pretty damn smooth

    After thinking on it for a bit, I came to the same conclusion

    I primarily use a bcm 11.5 suppressed with a surefire socom 762 mini, my wife uses a DD 14.5 and my bcm 16 mid stainless topped with a leupold 3-9 would be the third. Aimpoint comp m2's on the first two.
