Agreed.
What would you gain besides noise and unburned powder?
Loss of velocity could be seen as a plus in limited situations, I guess.
Well if it's just a Shits and Giggles rifle I'd go with a 14.5 rather than a 16 for maneuverability
I recommend mid-length gas.
My current favorite 3Gun rifle has a 13 5/8 barrel, mid gas, and a F2 compensator welded on. Makes the gun have a 16 1/8" barrel, instead of the normal 19" +/- using a 16" barrel and a 3" compensator. A little faster to swing, a little shorter in tight ports, and still enough velocity to make 600 yard shots. Loud, though, but you can't have everything.
Aero makes nice stuff, cheap.

I agree also. A couple inches of barrel isn't going to change maneuverability much and you lose the ability to change muzzle devices.
I have never understood the desire for a little shorter barrel with a fixed muzzle device. The competition gun kind of makes sense but not beyond the 3" compensator aspect.
