Is a longer barrel better for airsoft?

The main point is, a longer barrel does not mean longer range and accuracy. It just means your gun will be longer and, if it is a gas/spring-powered gun, it will have a slightly higher FPS. Longer barrel lengths will only increase FPS and decrease mobility and accuracy.

Can you cut an airsoft outer barrel?

Doing it yourself to a grade that isn’t awful without additional tools is next to impossible – even if you could shorten the barrel (which is the easy bit as most airsoft gun metal isn’t hardened and can be cut with a fine tooth saw), you’d be left without threads (which again needs turning).

How long is the arp9 outer barrel?

128mm
Length: 128mm. Compatible with Outer Barrel Diameter 8.6mm – 9.2mm.

Does a longer barrel increase range?

Fact: In no part of our testing was barrel length a determining factor in accuracy. At a distance of 100-540 yards, there was no discernible difference in accuracy between various barrel lengths. This performance translated over to unknown distance shooting with all barrel lengths at ranges out to 900 yards.

Do heavier BBs increase range?

Heavier airsoft BBs don’t go further as the increased weight of the BB lowers the FPS of the gun, which decreases the range. However, heavier BBs have a greater effective range; this means that at a certain distance, they will hit the target more precisely than lighter BBs from the same distance.

Is the ARP9 a M4?

Description. The G&G ARP9 is a unique and exciting entry into the CQB M4 style rifle AEG category. Extremely compact and lightweight, from afar the ARP9 resembles a traditional M4 type rifle, but when one gets closer, they realize the ARP9 is a completely different beast.

What are the benefits of a longer barrel?

Longer barrels have many benefits that pertain to better accuracy and increased velocity. The longer sight radius gives you more space to properly line up your shot. A longer barrel will also increase the bullet’s velocity because it has more time to propel the bullet before it’s released.
