Does barrel length affect suppressor?
While a supressor can impart some additional velocity, it will not be nearly as much as a longer barrel. So, if you have a 16” barrel, and 10” barrel with a 6” suppressor giving both the same OAL, the 16” barrel will give a substantially higher velocity, and therefore flatter trajectory.
Does length of suppressor matter?
Consider overall length. If only noise mattered, all suppressors would be three feet long and nine inches in diameter and your gun would be really quiet. However, a suppressor has to hang off the end of the pistol or rifle that you carry, so compromises must be made.
