Nerf flywheel blaster: Does a brass barrel help?

Using a modified Nerf Elite Stryfe, I tested to see if a brass barrel made any noticeable range/accuracy increases to flywheel blasters. The answer: Yes. Barely.
Test parameters:
Voltage: 12.4 V
Amperage: 700 mAh
Motors: Brushed carbon 130 class (not stock)
Wind: Light and variable at 1-4 mph
All darts fired were brand new.
The brass is 5/8" x 5" or so and is held in the silencer barrel with 2 wraps of electrical tape (I wanted to be able to remove it if bad things happened.)
If you like the song, it's "Down From The Sky" by Trivium, which I obviously do not own.
And if you don't like the song, turn the volume off and get over it.

This type of analysis is really cool. I wish more nerfers would do it. Also I recommend you fasten your blaster down to inhibit bias.

Has this been done with short darts

[@averycolburn]

I haven't, and I did this YEARS ago, so I'm sure there have been several changes that could help like new flywheels and cages.
