Paintball accuracy is supposed to be based on paint to barrel match, and multibore barrels (i.e. Freak, Equation, CP) are the best solution to this. I'd like to see an "average player world" example of this.
I suggest something like a bench mounted marker with the multibore barrel of choice and a single case of paint (any decent brand). Start with the smallest bore, shoot x number of times at given distances, check for spread. Repeat with all bores in the same barrel.
I think this would show what effect barrel to paint match really has. The thought behind the single case of paint is that the "average player" buys a case, and shoots that case thru his/her equipment for the days play.
My second suggestion, I don't really know how to go about doing. I'd like to see someone try to put to rest the whole "flat trajectory" thing. I don't know how you would track the actual trajectory, but we have all heard "gun X shoots flatter than gun Y".
If either of these tests has been done somewhere else and I don't know about it, please direct me to where I can read about it.
