I don't have any suggestions to fix the bending while leaving aesthetics intact , but you could try taping a piece of wood to the barrel parallel to it. Honestly, I don't think the bending will do much to affect power, and any loss WILL be made up for by the longer barrel. If you are using spherical projectiles, it may even boost range by imparting backspin, like the hop-up on an airsoft gun.
I am not overly familiar with pneumatics, but your velocity will increase substantially. I tried running the numbers, and doubling length from 3 to 6ft may double the muzzle energy. That figure will be more if I underestimated your valve(probable).
Again I am not a pneumatics expert, but with combustion, a longer barrel is almost always better.
