most people would say yes, others say it all depends on the the condition of the dart, and some think barrel length is the deciding factor. Being very interested in sniping, I have done some tests, experiments, and research on what makes nerf guns accurate or inaccurate. What I have found is rather interesting.
Myth #1- nerf sniping is impossible.
This all depends on your definition of sniping; if you think sniping is siting 100 feet away and shooting someone in the head with your longshot, than yeah, nerf sniping is a joke. But when I say sniping, I mean a scenario more like this: you are crouched behind a couch, your opponent is behind two chairs with blankets over them; you see a gap in between the chairs, and your opponent ducked down by the gap. you have two options: shower the hole with darts until you run out of darts and he blocks the hole with a pillow, or snipe him! Take a few discreet shots at the hole (or something else that is at a similar distance) to get your gun sighted in, then load a good dart in your gun, aim and fire! if you had a good dart and you know your gun, you will hit him and win! It will probably take more than one shot though, so it would be more of a SDM (squad designated marksman) sort of thing.
Myth #2- it all depends on the condition of the dart.
This is the important part, because accuracy does depend on the darts, but it is determined by how the dart is weighted, not how worn the dart is. A worn out dart will be less powerful, but not much less accurate.
Myth #3- barrels increase accuracy.
this is mostly true, but only for some guns, such as the retaliator and deploy (does anyone know about the sharp shot?). i think the size and type of the plunger may have something to do with it as well.
if nerf gave their darts heavier tips they would be more accurate, but slightly less powerful. or they could make a great sniper with a airtight breech and barrel, and a flash suppressor, and that would be awesome!
the flash suppressor would stabilize the dart as it left the barrel. It would need a big plunger as well.
feel free to argue with me in the comments, but i cant guarantee a early response.
