Silencer Question

Hey there
Checked the FAQ and general discussion.

So from my understanding of what I have read and heard, one can increase the barrel length of their gun by just installing a longer barrel and hiding the protruding end with the appropriate silencer.

But could this be done by another approach, such as installing a fixed barrel to fit the length of the silencer, separate from the guns barrel? Are there any complications with such an approach? This way I could use my MP5 for CQB games and for open field games simply attach the silencer, thus increasing barrel length without going through the tedium of completely refitting the entire barrel.

Might as well ask another question I haven’t seen pop up. Could increased barrel length also increase FPS, as a longer barrel may give the BB a longer acceleration time? Or is it the longer barrel will cause more friction over acceleration (I can imagine so with very long barrel lengths but maybe not so with shorter barrel lengths).

Appreciate any info or directing to the appropriate thread/s
