I was informed by a guy that works at Airsoft World (UK Scottish based company) advised me that I'd be better off with a good Hop Up and tight bore barrel mod over anything else. He seemed to be quite adamant that a longer barrel will not greatly improve my accuracy when hitting a man sized target, compared to the cost of such a mod.

He basically said that any difference I’d notice would be negligible in something like a G36C even with a longer barrel hidden with a silencer. He said unless you where talking expensive bolt action snipers the barrel length really did make much of a difference. He also seemed to advice me to go for a Systema tight bore barrel over the Mad Ball’s his shop sold; so sort of made me think he probably giving me sound advice from his perspective, rather than trying to do a sales pitch on me for something more expensive.

I can see what your saying but when I’m using a carbine assault rifle all I need to be able to hit is a man sized target the size of the grouping is not that much of an issue especially if we talking cm difference if it was more like inches coming onto feet then it would make sense for me to upgrade the length. But for the guns use; CQB and woodland fighting, it seems like over kill and a waste of money. I'm only a poorly paid ICT tech in a Gov funded school.
