I did some experimenting with barrel lengths and BB weights since I had them lying around. This is NOT a scientific test and there are MANY uncontrolled variables so please take this with a grain of salt and only in a broad sense. If anything, it makes for some amusing lunchtime reading for you.

I have two WE pistols which came with longer barrels (190mm, 215mm) to allow them for import. One is clearly brass and the other is a smooth chrome finish but I suspect it's just a rough steel inner. I do not know the inner diameter nor anything else other than the length. This is an uncontrolled variable.

The test platform is the WE G27 STOCK pistol. I forgot what the stock inner barrel is but it's quite short... probably around 75mm?

I've posted the targets shot at 20ft range in a crouched stabilized position. This is an uncontrolled variable. The numbers correspond to the BB weight (brand Elite Force), barrel length, and median FPS. The targets are not sized to any standard so only compare them against each other. The longer barrels are NOT stabilized inside the silencer tube. This is an uncontrolled variable.

THE SETUP:

STOCK BARREL:

MEDIUM BARREL:

LONG BARREL:

------

After my testing, I decided to let my Marui G26 with a short 6.02 barrel have a go for my own comparison purposes...
