Long Barrel

:For similar attachments, see Rifled Barrel, Particle Amp and Advanced Rifling.
The Long Barrel is an attachment featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. It was also cut from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops II==
The Long Barrel increases the range benchmarks of a weapon by 16%. Therefore, the longer the initial range of a gun is, the longer the maximum range will be. The attachment is available for submachine guns, shotguns and handguns. It is incompatible with the suppressor attachment, for balancing reasons.
For weapons such as the PDW-57 and the Five-Seven that have several separate range benchmarks, Long Barrel will affect each of these range benchmarks.
For shotguns and the Executioner, the fact that the range of these weapons is finite means that the total range of the shotguns is made longer, increasing the range at which the user can damage enemies with the shotgun. Even with the KSG, which has a very long overall range, this benefit is extremely valuable. Even beyond just boosting the limited range of these weapons, the attachment will make the shotguns more effective even at ranges where they can comfortably hit enemies. This attachment is extremely popular on shotguns as a result, with it being considered indispensable by many shotgun users.
On handguns, Long Barrel is not as effective, especially since the Suppressor is a much more competitive attachment on the handguns due to a reduced range penalty and the lacking fear of finite range like the shotguns have. However, the attachment is extremely useful on the Executioner, as previously mentioned. The Tac-45 also benefits greatly from the Long Barrel, as the Tac-45's defining strength as a handgun is its decent two shot kill range, which the Long Barrel will enhance.
Long Barrel is a very safe attachment choice overall, as it will never provide a downside while providing an upside that is very relevant in some cases. Its benefit is constantly in effect, and for certain weapons, that constant benefit significantly improves their consistency and ability to win gunfights. Despite being a net positive attachment choice, there will be weapons or use cases where Long Barrel doesn't provide much, but even in these lesser cases, the attachment can still help.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified==
The Long Barrel returns as the Extended Barrel.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops III==
The Long Barrel appears as an attachment for several weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It functions a lot differently compared to the Long Barrel from Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
The long barrel changes every weapon category differently:
*100% longer range for all assault rifles except KN-44 and KVK 99m.
*KN-44's range is increased by 13% and KVK 99m's range is increased by 30%.
*Submachine guns have their minimum damage range increased by 25%.
*Shotguns have their minimum damage range increased by 13% and minimum base damage decreased by 20% (meaning it does not help with one-shot kills, but allows them to reach further with decreased damage).
*Handguns have their range increased by 13%.
Aesthetically, it adds an extension to a weapon's muzzle. It is now compatible with the Suppressor barrel attachment.

==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered==
The Long Barrel was a planned attachment for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remasteredhttps://charlieintel.com/2017/01/11/rumor-hidden-content-new-attachments-dual-wield-pistols-found-mwr-files/, referenced with strings in the game files.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops 4==
The Long Barrel reappears in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Some weapons allow players to attach the optional Long Barrel II after the normal Long Barrel is equipped. The weapon's range is greatly increased when equipping two Long Barrels.
==Call of Duty: Mobile==
In addition to the multiple barrel customizations, the attachment appears in Call of Duty: Mobile as the Extended Barrel, also formerly referred to as "RTC Tac Impaler" in the attachment unlock screen. It is available to the BY15 and KRM-262 shotguns.
In Battle Royale, the Long Barrel appears as a weapon mod that can be equipped on all shotguns. It's a mod that increases the ammo density on Shotguns, the Legendary version of the mod increases accuracy, speed and ammo density while sliding, and sliding with it also reloads one ammo.
== Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War ==
Within Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the Long Barrel returns as the Extended barrel family of barrel attachments, giving increased muzzle velocity for most weaponry it can be attached to. However, it gives increased effective range for Shotguns and the Marshal, with the Marshal also gaining a worsened sprinting to fire time. The LAPA also gains an increased fire rate at the cost of reduced damage.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops 6==
The Long Barrel returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 under the Barrel attachment category. It once more increases the effective range that weaponry are able to deal their maximum effectively damage before fall-off occurs. There is an alternate version in the Suppressed Long Barrel. The Marine SP also gains increased ammo capacity and in turn, a technical reduction in reload speed due to the barrel not gaining any speed loader addition alongside the barrel.
==Trivia==
===Call of Duty: Black Ops II===
*The only weapons to change in appearance when outfitted with the Long Barrel are the Executioner and the Olympia. 
*The Long Barrel doesn't actually increase the damage inflicted. Despite the statistic increase, rather it increases the distance of the damage drop-off by increasing the range.
*Menendez's Executioner in "Odysseus" has a long barrel attached, while in "Achilles' Veil", it has a standard barrel.
*The Long Barrel icon uses the M8A1 barrel, despite the attachment not being available to assault rifles.
**This icon reappears in Black Ops III.
