I'm sure someone has a calculation that includes girth. I think weight should also be taken into consideration. A durometer reading might be handy.
I honestly think barrels (especally short ones) should be judged like a Miss America pageant with several categories including beauty and talent.
It's not all about spitting for distance.
Barrels are all barrels whatever the length. There are many like it. This one's mine. Etc. Etc.

What length barrel did that big gulp of science come from?
I suppose barrel length is dependant on the ability to bring a projectile up to speed. That's dependant on your reservoir and the ability for it to release pressure behind the projectile as it travels down the barrel.
If your gas can keep pressure rising in the barrel it's not to long. If your speed is at the limit before the projectile exits the muzzle it's not too short. Depending on the gun that could be anywhere from a few inches to many feet.
The length barrel that is best is the one suited to the power source. If the delivery of power is fast and short you just don't need a longer barrel to get speed out of a light projectile like a pellet.
At least that's what my big gulp of science told me.
