I was thinking that it would be interesting to see an
accuracy comparison between a mag (extreem) a cocker and matrix
All three use cocker barrels and represent different
operating pressures.

This would allow the use of exactly the same barrel on
all markers

I assume perfect circle paint is much more consistent
in shape and weight than normal paint and would therefore remove the variable of
paint.

given an identical barrel and paint only the markers would
vary

This would prove/disprove the effect of pressure
What do you think ?

i believe it has been done before at warpig.

the perfect circle paintballs are as inconsistant as regular paintballs. they are just special because you can fill them with anything.

actually - they are called perfect circle - because they are a perfect circle. No seam line even...

ChaOtic I just took a look around WARPIG the only thing I
found was the OPEN/CLOSED bolt article. Is that perhaps
what you were thinking of?

I believe that the issue with the PC balls is that even
thought "perfect" they didn't really help.

They are more consistent in size and weight (I believe)
This should make velocity more consistent, a faster ball
will hit a target higher that a slower ball

Steveg, you're correct on all counts.

I do plan on doing accuracy/consistency tests just as you describe. There are still a lot of things ahead of them on the "todo" list, but I'm hoping to get on it before the tournament season starts up again.

See you on the field,
