Read one or two of tha reviews and to be honest half-way down I coulda sworn I was reading Ravi in PGI - very similar style, layout and approach.

The shoot/range/consistency stuff is interesting, but it's still unreliable IMHO. If I was a manufacturer I'd wanna know exactly what paint was being used, and if my gun suffered by comparison to another and it was down to a different brand of paint, hell, even a different batch or case of tha same brand, I'd be pissed.

Fact is, paint is inconsistent, and if you're not testing guns using the same paint from tha same box, you ain't gonna get a reliable test. And given that guns are tested over a period of months and the copy stays alive and accessible for years, that's impossible.

It is interesting for the tech-heads, no doubt, but I for one wouldn't wanna run that sorta stuff in PGI if I was the publisher.

I understand what you're saying regarding the paint I guess that kinda thing would be good for a group test though?!? same paint from the same case could then be used.
Just for the record I'm not knocking Jack, Ravi or anyone else's review style, its just I always liked the Shoot/range stuff. sometimes after reading some reviews I don't really feel like the reviewer has even actually fired the marker. I'm sure that isn't the case though! I'm sorry I can't think of any examples from the top of my head.

Not sure if it'd just be interesting for the tech heads, pretty much every baller at some point has either asked the question or looked for information regarding accuracy and consistancy.

Since when has the publisher had any influence?

Having used about ten different guns over my 'career', I'd like to go on record stating that I've never, ever read a gun review. the last thing I would want is some technology-concern getting in the way of what looks good.
