Why are two piece barrels more accurate than one piece barrels??

Why are two piece barrels more accurate than 1 piece barrels?

They arn't, its a rumor.

2 piece barrels

From what I understand, a two piece barrel is more accurate because the second piece has a larger bore than the first so that the remaining air is propelled around the ball to give a more accurate shot. The porting is to help with that. If you look at a boomstick down one end and then down the other you will notice the bore difference. A 2-Piece IS more accurate and not because they cost more.

Everyone go spend $120 on a boomstick. They are the most accurate barrels. Why you may ask. Well its simply, the little dye logo magically makes balls shoot further and go straighter.
Two part barrels and porting do you help your accuracy at all. They make these things up to try and convince you to buy it. People believe it, and it spreads by work of mouth. You think that componies are going to deny it?
They may be a little more consistant, other than that you get nothing. They also use more gas.

A two piece barrel is essentially a shorter barrel with a muffler on it.

Well if that is true why not just use a one piece barrel that is 5 inches or so long. I would guide the ball the same distance as a boomstick, and after it leaves the barrel the air is propelled around the ball. Right?

No a 5 inch barrel would not work the same way

Have you ever shot a 5 inch barrel? they have no accuracy whatsoever. The reason the two piece works is because the second piece still provides direction so that the air is not randomly pushed around the ball. As with all barrels they are tested in labs before put on the market. Why do you think the Freak uses the same idea? It is more accurate. You fools who do not understand the scientific aspect of it are of course going to think that it is a sales gimmick. My question for you is if they arent more accurate then why are they so widely used on the professional level? Of course they get it for free, but they wouldnt use a bad barrel just because it was free.

Only about the first 3-4 inches of barrel is effective barrel. Beyond that has no effect on accuracy.

It's not? :) A Boomstick is a 4" barrel with a tip on it that makes it look longer... but you don't hear many accuracy complaints. It might as well use a cardboard tube with holes in it instead, makes no difference. 4" barrel, 16" barrel... same accuracy. Gas efficiency/sound is another matter when you compare different barrels.

From what I have read and understand, the first 3-4 inches only affects the accelleration....after that, it affects it's stabilization and accuracy.

Make me one and send it to me and you win.
I really want to see a barrel with a boomstick back and a cardboard front. I will even pay you if you make it and it shoots well. The thing is...you are still making a two piece barrel and it doesnt disprove my point. It is true though that a 5 inch barrel will not shoot as well. Test it. Take any two piece that can be separated and try it out. You wont get the same results

NOW THAT IS THE RIGHT IDEA!!!!!!

Back on the original Question....

I have both a Dye Boomy 12" and a Dye SS 10"...with the right size paint, they both shoot just about the same....just my boomy is a little quieter.

MAGalomania you're wrong, Miscue is right. That was easy
