The MGC Beretta 92f NBB was one of the first to use a rifled barrel - they called it the 'cyclone' barrel, and claimed it helped accuracy, which I find it did. When GBB's came out, the range was pretty minimal compared to most Airsoft, and with the advent of the hop up unit, accuracy was in the inner diameter of the barrel. A rifled GBB barrel, add to that tightbore - would make a very accurate pistol.
Didn't a french BB company dimple their BB's? I have a bottle of those at home - apparently they were quite expensive but they did have dimples, you need a magnifying glass to see them. I can't remember the name of the company.

There's a big step from smoothbore to rifled, and what it can mean.
With a decent barrel and well fitting ammo, who knows? But it certainly would not have a hopup anymore. It would not need it.
If I remember when I looked into it, the smoothbore was picked to reduce the legal headaches.

I just got a headache reading this...when did Airsoft manufacturers ever give a shit about Canadian laws? I rifled my coffee cup and i'm still not in jail, by the way...
