Within limits, a longer barrel means a faster bullet. It is pushed by the expanding gasses from the fired cartridge for a longer time, and accelerates to a higher speed. A longer barrel will also mean a longer distance between the front and rear sight, permitting greater accuracy in aim.

Can adding a longer barrel to a gun improve it any?
Usually, yes. A longer gun barrel allows the bullet to accelerate longer and thus increases its velocity. But it is a complicated problem. A short barrel and a large powder load has about the same velocity as a smaller load and a longer barrel. A longer barrel suffers more wear. Really big naval guns were good for a limited number of shots and each shot was numbered, being bigger for every shot.
