There will probably not be a huge difference in performance associated with a 10 cm shorter gun. You will get a little less effective range-especially if you are using a single wrap of shooting line.

We are now using 14.5 mm bands on our guns which seem to be the best mix of performance and ease of loading.

You should be able to target large fish (over 50 lbs) with a 110 cm gun, but you will need to be reasonably close and make an accurate and well placed shot.
