Barrel length doesn't affect accuracy, either.
Barrel length only increases the maximum possible fps you can have, and is sometimes used to match cylinder volumes when cylinder porting isn't an option (bolt action) to reach optimal fps of a spring.
A 260mm barrel is exactly as accurate as a 650mm barrel.
Accuracy is mostly your hopup and BB weight, in more detail; the hop chamber, anything in the body that might affect barrel wobble, and all your compression parts.
Range is your hop, BB weight, and muzzle energy.
In airsoft, the barrel doesn't actually count for much. You want the best one possible, but they're not going to add any accuracy or range that wasn't already there. They only remove range and accuracy when they have issues.
