So does a SBS have any strategic advantages other than weight and maneuverability that a full 20” barrel doesn’t? For example- say you have a 14” memewave, and a 20” 870 or 590. Would have any less velocity, or any more spread with the 14” barrel where you would’ve been much better off with a 20” barrel?I wish Paul Harrel would’ve made a video on this.

>>65428192That’s good to know about rifles, but I was asking about shotguns.
>>65428183>Would have any less velocityOne woud tend to imagine that a longer amount of time with higher pressure pushing behind it would tend to result in higher veocity. There will be a limit ofc to how fast you can get it...>or any more spread with the 14” barrelOne would tend to imagine the more turns it's forced to make the faster it will be spinning on exit, hopefully resulting in more uniform trajectories. But again, there will be limits...Shouldn't the question be ' Is this 14" barrel gonna be *good enough* for what I want to do '?Are you advantaged by the reduction in weight and increase in mobiity more than you are disadvantaged by aquiring it? Pretty sure the answer to thattun situation dependant, and outside of a few edge cases both options functionally identical to the end user.
>>65428183Notraining question.
>>65428200Oh, you're talkin' splattergun? Well, sans rifling barrel length will severely adjust spread over distance. But that should really be obvious. Erryfink else: Same rewls apply
>>65428210So longer barrel with a shotgun still equals better?>>65428205What if my shotgun doesn’t have rifling? Therefore the balls cannot turn.
>>65428205>>Would have any less velocity>One woud tend to imagine that a longer amount of time with higher pressure pushing behind it would tend to result in higher veocity. There will be a limit ofc to how fast you can get it...its approximately 5 fps per inchits almost insignificant.>>65428210>barrel length will severely adjust spread over distance.this is choke not barrel length. its wrongly correlated as shotguns get less accurate when sawed off cause the choke would be in the part of the barrel you cutoff. if its a double they were regulated at the front that you cut off so now the barrels are pointed in random directions. then it depends how nicely they did the cut. short doesnt mean spread increases.
>>65428230Thank you for that anon. So basically unless I just wanted a longer gun with a longer mag tube- it’d be sorta pointless to upgrade from my shockwave?
>>65428235Theres a difference in handling balence and how smoothly it swings as you change barrel length. But it doesn't matter for spread or gun doing more damage.
>>65428239Based. Thank you anon. I’ve been trying to learn about this for a few days or so. I appreciate you explaining.
