There are debates on whether airsoft inner barrel length makes a difference when it comes to accuracy. Unlike real firearms, where the bullet travels over 3000 feet-per-second (FPS), lighter airsoft BB travels below 400 FPS. This huge difference in energy begs the possibility that airsoft barrel length makes no real world difference.
In this article, we will use a controlled, simulated environment to determine whether the difference in inner barrel length makes any real world difference in a CQB environment. The intended purpose is for real airsoft battle, not gun-on-the-vise shooting competition.
We downloaded the following free target from Evike's web site. This target has inches markings. But Evike provided a raster (JPG) image, not a vector file. Therefore, when we printed the image on our laser printer, the target wasn't to scale. The 7" marking was extremely close to 7 centimeters on our print out. Therefore, it provides a good relative measurement.
