Nah, you can get up to ~550mm in a normal unported cylinder before you get any barrel suck. The G36 has a 510mm barrel.

Swapping between sniper and assault rifles isn't that easy...

Sniper setup:
-450fps spring
-something to disable full auto
-unported cylinder
-longer inner barrel

Assault setup:
-under 400fps spring
-full auto enabled
-ported cylinder
-standard inner barrel

To swap all those parts out even if your an experienced gun doc would still be hours of work. If you want a long range sniper type weapon, buy one. If you want a carbine, you already have one. You could settle for the middle ground and get an upgraded assault rifle, a full sized G36 (a G36c is not an assault rifle, its a carbine, an assault RIFLE is a full length rifle, an M4A1 is a carbine and an M16 is an assault rifle is another example.) Barrel length means a LOT for muzzle velocity, a team mate of mine and I have pretty much the exact same upgrades in our guns, his a G36c and mine a G36. He shoots 360fps and I shoot 390fps, only difference is that he has a ~260mm tightbore (slightly longer than a standard G36c barrel) and I have a 510mm tightbore. My range and accuracy are superior to his because of this.

Frankly I'm not a fan of AEG sniper rifles to begin with. I've never seen an AEG sniper rifle that can maintain the same grouping of a spring bolt action sniper rifle, gas sniper rifles are often somewhere in between unless you fire very slow to compensate for mag cooldown.
