Barrel lengths?

[stealthy]

Hi folks

looking at fitting a tight bore to my P90 project, i have added a 4 inch spacer and also a silencer so i can now fit a 590mm barrel, will this increase the range and accuracy of the gun ??

Im looking at using it as a counter sniper and light support weapon as if it is fitted with a box mag

To a certain extent, but remember to get a new rubber aswell. Like buying a car with no fuel.

yeah forgot to say the hop unit is going to be upgraded as well, the idea is to be using .25 minimum but most likely .3 bb's

You will be sniping the snipers then! Just remeber to get a full cylinder if you don't have one already.

Lol just want to out range most things on the field and still hit the target im shooting at plus if they actually feel it hit them that would be nice too

- Barrel length has little to no effect in airsoft, unlike real steel.
- Running .3's on the site limits (328 with .2) is going to be one slow BB!

Then what is the point of running a longer barrel then in sniper rifles and so forth then if that was the case surely they would be short too

now the great barrel debate can start lol

I beg to differ, I put a £10 element TB in my MP5 and the accuracy changed dramaticly then I put in a guarder clear and it was insane! Does change it.

Re: Barrel lengths?

Basically because they are copies of the real thing. So if you want the mag to go in the right place, the barrel needs to be as long as the real one.

It's been done to death, but the best options are a good tightbore, .25 BB's, good hop rubber and consistent FPS.

@ Montesa77: How does you putting a tightbore in a MP5 show a longer barrel gives better range and accuracy?!?!?!?

Re: Barrel lengths?

Well it showed because the BB's went further and the groupings were tighter. Simples

Re: Barrel lengths?

But it was a tightbore, we are talking about how long the barrel is....
