Then we would know if we have a duff barrel or if we got lucky and it's not worth switching to a tighbore, for example.
None exists as far as I know. Airsoft guns are so inherently innaccurate that it would almost be pointless. So many factors can screw with accuracy -weight of BB, hop-up, slight wind, etc. There are too many variables to try and compansate for to make a proper baseline. Add to that the fact that a certain barrel type might perform great in a stock gun but really shitty in the same gun with certain mods... it's just too much data you can't account for.
