What would a longer barrel on a paintball gun have to do with the flight of the paintball?

A: A paintball will start falling towards the ground as soon as it exits the mouth of the barrel
B: When using barrels under 14", there is still a pressure buildup behind the paintball when it exits the muzzle, thus the full potential of the shot is not utilised.
C: When using barrels over 16", there is no longer a buildup of pressure behind the paintball, thus the friction inside the barrel causes it to lose velocity, in turn losing range.
As such, a 16" barrel is the ultimate length. pressure buildup lasts throughout the entire barrel length, so maximum shot potential is utilised.
the above is way wrong, the amount of air behind the paintball depends on the pressure and your dwell setting not the barrel length. barrel length has nothing to do with the flight of a paintball, internal diamiter and build quality do a bit but the quality of the paintball itself will have the most effect. between 12"-16" is all personal preference and there is no performance difference, below 12 there is not much room for porting so your shot is louder, above 16 and you have to use extra air/co2 to get the paintball up to the right speed, 16" is nice for sticking through bushes if your a woodsball player and pushing down bunkers if you are a speedball player, 12 will be very compact, i tend to stick to 14, and get some of both worlds

Can a paintball barrel work on a airsoft gun?
No. Paintball barrels are .68 caliber and have relatively huge threads compared to airsoft guns. Not only would they not fit, they would not work due to the large space between the barrel and the airsoft pellet.
Is there a paintball bolt action sniper?
Yes. Although all standard paintball guns shoot around the same distance, there are certain barrels or paintballs available that add range and/or accuracy to the marker. Besides that any marker with a longer barrel and optics could be considered a "sniper" marker.
How long is a paintball gun?
It depends which one. A stock Tippmann 98 with stock barrel and angled tank is about thirty inches across from barrel tip to where the tank would be.
What the best paintball gun?
Currently the best Paintball gun that you can purchase would be a DM9 it is made by Dye and is about 1600$ for the best one the reason it is because of its range accuracy speed and precision also the Dye Ultralite barrel helps this gun and a good nitrous tank also get a rotor hopper it is the best hopper and the Dye Ultralite Barrel is the best Barrel Hope this Helped!
Can a paintball travel a mile?
fired from the paintball marker? No......the force needed to launch the ball a mile would destroy the ball in mid flight..... however if dropped from 1 mile in the sky, then yes. If you put a paintball in a car, and drive the car 1 mile, then yes again!
How far would you expect a five gram paintball to travel?
depends on air pressure, barrel size, wind, humidity, and a ton of other things
Will duct tape fix a broken paintball gun barel?
No. If it is the actual shaft of the barrel that is broken there is no repair, and if you were going to use it on the threads, it will not hold. Even if it were to, it would not match up and break paint in the barrel.
In the experiment testing which type of paintball marker shot paintball farthest what was the dependent variable?
The dependent variable in this experiment would be the type of paintball marker. You must make sure you keep the other variables constant. Meaning using the exact same barrel, propellant and paintball types. If you use different setups on each, you have not proven that the marker itself was the key determining factor.
What would be the best paintball barrel and marker for sniping?
All guns shoot the same FPS, therefore have the same range. The only exeption to this is barrels that causes backspin like a flatline or APEX but this slows the paintball down faster and reduces the chance of the paintball actually breaking as well as decreasing accuracy as spin increases. The best barrel is a barrel that fits your paint perfectly, but since paintballs are imperfect you need to get as close as possible. Choose a barrel that has bore inserts so that you can match it to your paint or under/overbore if you prefer. your barrel is most accurate at around 14 inches, and unless you have a bipod, are in prone and will take careful aim for EACH shot a 20 inch barrel wont do you any good.
