Sorry Dale, but i'll have to agree with King Cole, I think matching paint to bore is one of the biggest components for accuracy along with good regulation. Can you back up your theory with data? Razor : That's some pretty heavy stuff you're saying about paint to bore size matching not mattering. I applaud you're audacity and your theories are sound, but trying to convince everyone to throw away their long standing beliefs is going to take more than theories. : I'm just not buying it! I am not the type of person who can be convinced something is true just because the numbers add up. I build automated machinery for a living and I've seen engineers come up with ideas that sound great on paper but they just don't work. On the flip side of that, some theories will never work on paper but in reality they work just fine. For instance, according to engineers and physicists, helecopters should not be able to fly, but we've all witnessed them flying all over Iraq recently. : For years there have been numerous tests in which the results indicate that painball to bore size DOES matter. Many of these tests were unsolicited so the results wouldn't be biased. I have yet to see the results of a barrel to bore size test that showed no difference between matching and non-matching. : If you know of any hard proof of your theories please post it in a reply. I would like to see it. Don't take it the wrong way, I'm not trying to make fun of you. I would love to see you proven right and watch as the whole paintball community jaws hit the ground. I'm just asking for some test results. : PEACE!
