But the point is your choice of quality BB is as important as your choice of quality barrel.

This here is the most important point, buy the highest quality part you can afford and worry about the numbers later.

BB's as mentioned are also important, there's no point in buying a tightbore if you then go and use cheap or biodegradable .02's as the improvements will be minimal. You'd get a bigger gain by saving the money to spend on better quality .25's.

If you're already using very good ammo at a decent weight, then go on and get a tbb as it will be worth the gain.

This is all theory of course. I think you can even buy rifled barrels that are supposed to give this effect.

Tanio Koba Hop Twist barrels. I recently bought one but, on the fcuking day we actually met in person to swap cash and stuff for barrel, after waiting with baited breath for ages while Ed and I were unable to get to the same skirmishes, I lost the tiny bit which pushes the nub into the hop rubber from my G36 and, although I now have a new one and a whole bunch of upgrades, I've yet to have time to get the gun back together and working. So I'm afraid I can't actually comment on their performance...

it would be interesting to know as I have often wondered about buying one.

 

thanks

I personally find that 6.01mm tight bores are better than twist barrels. Which is to say, easier to get on with to the point where the faff of a twist barrel makes it redundant.

It may be that you have to tune the gun to a very specific set of parameters to get the full effect of it, but in my eyes that has the potential to limit your gun in some areas.

 

So the more simple tight bores are just easier to work with, quicker to set up, and work the same with any set up.

ummm ok guys... imma stick with the madbull anyway...

 

Changing the subject.... Can you believe this?! My friend is willing to trade his TM glock 18c for my AK47?!

 

I MEAN WTF?!?!?!

 

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE BUT I'M TAKING THE OFFER!

 

P.s. He says that he's gonna turn it into an AK sniper rifle and do all kinds of crazy upgrades to it.... But i personally think that my upgraded CYMA gearbox is what he wants...
