Newbie here. How significant is barrel length in real life situations? For example, all else being equal if I'm shooting a bear with a .308, how much farther out can I shoot him with a longer barrel? I'm wondering about the difference between a carbine and a full length barrel. I'm also wondering about the difference between a pistol caliber carbine and a pistol. I noticed that Hi Point, Berreta, and Kel Tec all have carbine versions of handgun calibers. Is there a big difference in stopping power? How about effective range and accuracy? Thanks.
