I second what ctres said. I had a Dboys PDW that shot all the way across the speedball field and across the open field at no limits. Look into maple leaf buckings and H-nubs. Also the G36 hop up unit (especially clones) kinda suck compression wise. I would look into a CNC'd chamner or wrapping that puppy up with some teflon tape.

I'd just like to add, in addition to everything Snarf said, a G36C doesn't have much range to begin with, it has a very small barrel making it very inaccurate for anything outside close quarters engagement anyway, so even in addition to whats already been said, you have no real reason to worry about loosing range because you don't have much to start with. That could hardly be less true. Are you really trying to tell HIM how far his gun shoots when you presumably haven't seen it yourself? It has been said time and again that range and accuracy little or no correlation with barrel length. Some of the most accurate guns I've seen had barrels of 10.5" or less, in fact my 416 has a stock mp5 length barrel and it is getting at least 150' of accurate range at about 360 fps. Hop up consistency and overall air seal are number one in my book when it comes to making a gun accurate, followed by a high quality barrel with a consistant bore in terms of roundness, diameter, and surface finish. Given the fact that I've had a G36C I would hardly say I have no experience in the matter, and yes while hop up and proper air seal are determining factors as well, to say barrel length has no relevance at all is like saying that an OS has no effect on the speed your computer runs at. One difference the length can make is the muzzle velocity. The longer the barrel, the later the BB will leave the barrel and the longer it will be accelerated, provided the air volume is sufficient to use the length. |

What Ctres was saying was, you have no idea what his particular gun shoots like. With clones one gun can shhoot flawlessly, the other can shoot like a Chinese crap cannon. But, you don't always have to have a longer barrel. We're trying to say with proper bucking/nub combo, no air leaks via the hop up chamber, as well as proper compression in the gearbox you can outrange say a stock Combat Machine with mediocre compression.

Fair enough. I do have to admit each gun seems to function different, not just by model or even manufacturer, but from others from the same brand as well, even stock. |

I won't bother commenting on all the points you made since I believe all my claims are very well established at this point and the others here have done a good job of clarifying much of what I said. I will however reiterate one main point to make myself absolutely clear. ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL, meaning FPS, BB weight/quality, hop up architecture/brand, airseal, barrel brand/quality etc, the actual length of the barrel has little or no significance. This is of course assuming that cylinder to barrel volume is matched in order to negate the already devatable affects of turbulence due to overvoluming.
