    Makes no difference to accuracy, a really short barrel on a non PCP (such as Fenman) makes it easier to shoot, whereas one of the most accurate airguns ever is the Eliminator which is hardly a carbine

    Then theres Prosports etc all shortish barrels, a PCP is more efficient with a longer barrel

    I do HFT(I'm getting better slowly)I've got both s400 classic and carbine. I can't tell the difference in accuracy, the carbine is a really nice fit, if I were to have to choose between the two I'd go for the carbine - trouble is my son claims that it is his. Dang it.

    Get one, no get one of each...

    Have fun

    There might be some value to having a longer barrel as with archers stabaliser rods, it may dampen movment but the extra weight may also make you tire quicker. Most archers use 30inch weighted rods out in front to settle the shot before release but this theory may only partly translate to a barrel in a freehand shot
