12" vs 18" barrel
I know that an 18″ barrel will increase the muzzle velocity in comparison to a 12″ barrel. But is there any increase in accuracy?

Hi,
it should, but it also depends on finding the pellet that will fit the best.
As always it is a matter of trying some good quality pellets.
The same pellet that works well for the 12″ might not give you necessarely the same result on the 18″.
You are changing velocity, barrel drag, etc.
I swapped the 12″ with a 24″ and accuracy improved overall on all pellete weights I am using.
Cheers
Chris

No. Barrel length does not dictate accuracy only velocity. If you swap a barrel to a longer or shorter length and gain or lose accuracy it is because the barrel is better or worse than the previous one being used. Quality is what changes the accuracy.
