Impossible to answer without knowing the caliber, bullet weight, barrel length.
What is the most accurate Tippmann A-5 paintball barrel for the price and length of the barrel?
This depends on you budget, quality of paint and what job you need done. If you are close range, the stock barrel is fine. if you need long range, get an apex or flatline barrel, if you want maximum accuracy, you need a two piece barrel and paint that fits the bore perfectly.
How will the range of a gun increase with barrel length?
barrel length increases accuracy not range. It increases range also. not it doesnt, it allow for different bullets which may contain more gun powder but it you fired the same bullet from a regular M-16 and a short barrel M-16 they will both travel the same distance as the bullet is subject to the same thrust, friction and gravity forces which ultimatly determine the max range. however the longer barrel contains more coils giving the bullet more spin enhancing accuracy. to increase range you need more thrust or reduced friction or mass of the bullet none of which has anything to do with barrel lengh ==Actual Answer== Please do not speak if you do not know what you are talking about. It is a well known fact that barrel length increases range, that is a big reason they use them on sniper rifles. Seriously, it is laughable that you would try to speak against it when you have not even tried to research it, everyone in the firearms world would laugh. The longer barrel allows for the expanding gases to have more time to accelerate the bullet down the barrel, and increases the muzzle velocity, which in turn allows the bullet to travel farther. I hope I don't have to describe why a faster muzzle velocity increases the range as well. Now as for accuracy, I have not read anything yet that really gives me a good reason besides "it should." I'm going to leave it up for grabs for now to be interpreted either way, but as of now, I have not found sufficient evidence that barrel length greatly affects accuracy. If anything, a longer barrel will allow for more vibration which can slightly lower accuracy. Most of accuracy is up to other factors in the gun, like rifling for example.
What factors determine the length of a gun barrel?
Barrel length is measured from the bolt face to the end of the barrel.
What effects do chokes have in a shotgun barrel?
The choke is a way of narrowing the barrel. It is designed to keep the shot in a tighter pattern. A full choke is supposed to increase the effective range of the weapon.
What is the range of a 12 gauge shotgun?
Depending on barrel length, load and choke, anywhere from 10-100 or more yards
What is the Performance of m16 rifle cal 5.56 ammunition?
Impossible to answer without more details. What range? What bullet weight? What barrel length?
How far can the 2.23 bullet travel?
The maximum range (not the maximum range where you can consistently hit a target) varies depending on the loading of the cartridge, weight and shape of the bullet, and barrel length. For an M16 rifle, the maximum range is about 2653 meters. However, longer barrels, bullets with a better ballistic coefficient, etc, can increase that to about 3600 meters. Your mileage may vary.
What is the legal length of shotgun barrel in Canada?
