The number you're looking for is 420mm, and that number describes the best possible efficiency of air volume while using a full cylinder. It has nothing to do what so ever with accuracy.

If my pistol can get a 4" grouping at 150ft with it's miniscule 3" barrel, then how will adding another 13.5" of barrel will somehow make that any better?

Guy spends $3000 on a CQBR ptw, there's a reason he spent it on a CQBR instead of a 16" DMR. And that reason is, they have the exact same range and accuracy.
