i read about how after 8" it doesnt get any better but does tht mean all the
stuff they say about the spiral riffling creating backspin a lie?

rifling/backspin/and impressive title that suggessts accuracy does not give any better accuracy than any other barrel, if anything the majority of the time it hurts accuracy. and I wouldnt get an 8" barrel either, 14-16" is ideal. I won a hammerhead barrel and have used it a couple times. its loud, and doesnt give me any better accuracy than my other barrels(although I didnt see a decrease in accuracy that I was expecting)
