Jake bowler Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Would cutting the barrel down on my sniper increases the FPS? Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 More likely it would decrease the FPS slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted August 3, 2018 Supporters Share Posted August 3, 2018 Shorter barrel=less FPS longer barrel=more FPS but if you start chucking tight bore inners in the mix THEN you can get higher FPS with shorter barrels . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just changed a longer tightbore for a shorted brass non tightbore and got better FPS. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 It has to be balanced. Longer barrel = higher fps to a point, then it reduces it, but more importantly FPS is easy, It's a spring and it can be changed without any issues. Longer barrel also = more variance in shot to shot FPS. This is bad for a sniper rifle. You need every shot to be the same or as close as possible. Having +-5fps a shot isn't going to cut it because with that FPS difference you will also see a hop variance. So the shot you fire will not hit the same point every time predictably. You need to do a true volume calculation, then factor the barrel length to that. There are countless threads on this on here and on the sniper forums. Everyone has a different answer but most will be saying you need to be heading out towards the 2.5-3:1 ratio to get the shot consistency you need.
