What's the deal with longer barrels on guns?
|
What would be the differences between a revolver with a 4-inch barrel, and the same revolver with a 6-inch barrel, besides the look of the gun, of course...
Thanks!

A longer barrel results in better accuracy. There are two reasons for this. First of all, the longer the bullet stays in the barrel, the truer it will fly. Secondly, the sights are further apart on a longer barrel, resulting in a more accurate sight plane.
The disadvantage is it is more difficult to conceal. |

Accuracy, the longer barrel provides greater accuracy at the price of a loss of power. |

With a longer barrel you get better accuracy. With a short barrel the bullet dosent stay accurate as long. |

the longer the barrel - the more accurate the weapon. |

The longer the barrel, the more stable to shell is as it rifles out and the more accurate the shot is. |
