Fixed barrel springers, will there ever be a better setup than the sliding breech

[look no hands]

I wonder what type of barrel on a break barrel would gnash teeth and noses better? Short and stumpy with a large diameter shroud / silencer or a long, slim item like the 35 Export?

You'd be safe with the ultra long 35 export barrel as you'd smack the bloke next to you in the chops instead
