    What is the truth behind Non-Threaded Barrel issue?

    Sorry to anyone who wants to yell at me, but I did a search for it here and didn't find much about it and I was looking at getting a mag. I've heard people say the non-threaded barrels can wiggle ever so slightly in place and a tiny, tiny wiggle translates to a couple inches or more down field. Is there any truth to this or do mag barrels fit snuggly enough not to be an issue. I like the idea of being able to remove it so quickly, I just don't want inferior performance as a result.

    They fit well enough to not be an issue....I think someone was filling you full of BS....I could understand if the barrel didn't have the o-rings on that hold the nubbins in place....than it could be loose, but with o-rings on....it is very snug.

      No worry.

      People are just blowing smoke up your axis. This explaination is pure BS that cocker/angel/other owners spew to make mags sound like a lesser gun.

      If you do the mathamatical derivations IF there is a one milimeter gap there will only be a few inches of deviation at maximum range. At this point the paintball is so far down range than any gun you shoot will produce a random grouping. And will probably exceed youre capacity to aim.

      This is an extreme case, you will only have a 1mm gap if you neglect to put in the barrel o rings. For the most part there is no gap at all.

        If you keep fresh o-rings in there and oil them frequently you'll be fine. And Mags are accurate as.......well you get the idea.

          Even if the barrel did have a little wobble, it's all about the accuracy by volume anyway isnt it? At least thats what I use the high ROF for anyway.

            The barrel wobble (which is minor to begin with) occurs after the ball has left... it's a non-issue.

              i have noticed a barrel wobble when I fire my mag but no difference in accuracy at all. My mag is as accurate as any gun on the field.......

                When i got my 3rd mag i noticed some wobble, but added an extra o-ring and this fixed the problem. What you guys fail to realize as that most, if not anyone, uses an AGD barrel, so design/ machining could be a variance/factor in the wobble. Not trying to flame anyone but some companys dont exceed at standards like AGD.

                  Thanks everyone

                  Hey, thanks everyone, it was very helpful and devoid of flames which is fantastic.

                  In light of this, I've purchased PF mag with the centerflag frame for $325 (not too shabby eh?). So we'll see how it works out, don't think I can dump my cocker just yet though, too much heart and soul in it, prolly get 50% playing time each.

                  Thanks again guys
