>>8764587>Remember, longer barrels are not necessarily more accurate. Usually the opposite is true.Right, that's why target and precision rifles all have short barrels.
Dumbass.
The round won't have quite as much velocity leaving the barrel, and won't have quite the range of a longer-barreled similar rifle, but you can still punch holes pretty easily out to a few hundred meters/yards. It won't dramatically affect the accuracy of the rifle, assuming quality parts and ammo.
I believe there are loads that work better out of short barrels, although I'm not at all sure about that.
