In this episode we're covering Long Barrel.
Analogous to Modern Warfare 3's range proficiency, as an attachment Long Barrel is otherwise a new addition to the Call of Duty series.
In real life, a longer barrel does have some ballistic effect: with the bullet spending longer in the barrel, there is more time for the expanding gases behind to impart additional kinetic energy, and so a longer barrel can yield a faster muzzle velocity.
Of course, this is only effective up to a certain point - and is calibre and cartridge dependent: an excessively long barrel would do more harm than good.
In-game, Long Barrel is available for the SMGs, shotguns, and the pistols.
It is unavailable for the LMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, special weapons - and the launchers.
Long Barrel is compatible with most other attachments, with the exception of the suppressor: as Long Barrel and the Suppressor antagonise each other's effects.
Long Barrel's effect is relatively simple, and the same across the board: it will increase your weapon's range by 16 percent.
This won't affect the number of shots needed to kill up close or at an extreme range - but will extend your reach with the weapon: increasing the zone where you'll do maximum damage, and the distance at which damage drops to the minimum.
Long barrel is a universally beneficial attachment that will extend your weapon's reach and often result in fewer bullets needed to kill.
As a result, it's ideal for weapons with a slower fire rate, as these tend to be more damage-focussed, reliant on stopping power over volume of fire.
At the extreme end, the pump action shotguns such as the Remington and KSG benefit greatly from the enhanced grasp: such weapons are heavily reliant on a one hit kill, and as such Long Barrel with often make a critical difference.
The attachment is much less useful on weapons with a higher rate of fire, or lower differential between their maximum and minimum damage: weapons such as the KAP-40, Skorpion EVO, MP7 or Vector K10 are arguably just as able without the attachment thanks to their elevated output.
Of course, Long Barrel has no downsides, so it's never a bad choice - but often there are more useful options for these weapons.
Still, it's always an option worth considering. Just remember: it's not the size of your barrel...
...it's what you do with it that counts.
