Spaghetti: Thanks for the reply. My thoughts were exactly as yours, but I noticed that a lot of guns (at least the ones I've seen here!) do not follow such a simple ratio or proportion! Of my own guns, the spear overhang varies from +10% to +40% of barrel length, hence my question, as it surprised me there didn't seem to be a standard ratio.
Anyway, in the interest of science I have decided to start cutting down one of my spear shafts. I will do so progressively 5cm per time to see if there is any noticeable difference.
Cheers,

PS - Those articles on the Maorisub site are great! Its a shame they are not in english! Along with those on the Dapiran site, I have lots of interesting bed time reading, much to the annoyance of my long suffering girlfriend!
