Consistency

[soul snatcher24]

barrle match also effects consistancy

for the most consistant shot you either need to overbore or drastically underbore, but you also need consistant paint

hope this helpes

What do you mean in the sentence I have emboldened?

 

[soul snatcher24]

i mean that if you bore the paint to match the barrel then it won't be as consistantas either an overbore or underbore

sorry, that other one didn't make much sence:doh:hopefully this one will make a little more

What do you mean in the sentence I have emboldened?

ball size to barrel match. .689 ball and then to over bore .695 or under bore with a barrel of .684 air movement around the ball when you shoot affects the consistency of the shot. HTH

I think this needs some clarification; the optimum situation for firing paintballs is made up of two considerations with the primary being consistency.
The secondary factor is efficiency i.e. optimising gas usage.

To attain the former, you need quality paint and a good match to your barrel, and this match can best be described as the outside diameter of the paintball matching the interior bore of the barrel .... you will never get an exact match because the paint will vary so much, even quality paint will vary.
In fact, the barrel size was manufactured to within one tenth of a thou in some cases whereas paintballs are manufactured to plus or minus 25 thou, in some cases more [thou= one thousands of an inch].

It's no accident that the best match also gives rise to the most efficient in terms of getting the maximum number of paintballs fired for a given reservoir of gas [air].

What hes trying to say is drasticly overboring or drasticly underboring will improve concistency.

This is contrary to what manufacturers have been advising for years.
But people are finally doing proper tests and they appear to support this theory.



Getting concistency is simply getting the best paint.

Choosing a very tight or very loose barrel is a way of minimising the affect variation in your paint can have on your velocity.
