Only shortening the inner barrel will effect the FPS. Though not likely by much, but it depends on how much you are shortening it.

If it's a 6inch, and firing at 270fps, and you shortened it to 3inch, the fps could drop by 1 to 70fps easily.

well, not many people have access to a lathe, so a Saw is the next best thing, you just gotta use it right

nope. a saw could deform/flatten the inner barrel. even though it's not significantly better, you'd be better off cutting it with a pipe cutter then use a reamer to flare out the tip a bit.

You can use tubing/pipe cutters as coach suggested. But you all you need is mini copper cutters available at a homedepot. Any plumber should have one.
