Ooo, New Tippmann Barrel

[Hexis]

Similarly, I have no problem with people shooting 'cockers, but if they tell me that it shoots farther because it's closed bolt I'll prove them wrong, too.

I think one of my favorite things about shooting a cocker (other than the backblock) is that other crazy cocker owners let their guard down around you when you have a cocker in your hands. I hear so many crazy things.

I thought we all went through this 10 yrs ago after we all ran out and bought Armson barrels, and found out rifling is only good for one thing....getting lots of barrel breaks.

dont forget that loud bark the short armsons had on a mag.
that sound profile could scare anybody.

The largest sizer is .688? The .691 back I was using this weekend was almost too small.

I think it's hilarious how they post the video on their site as if to prove that it works. . . then you watch the video and laugh.


Big DOH for tippmann.

the high speed video of the ball looks like a knuckle ball to me, I really can't see a spin that would make a difference....

Maybe THAT is the real difference! I haven't really thought it through, but maybe a rifled barrel prevents the ball from acquiring a spin in any particular direction, whereas a smooth bore barrel will spin the ball more around its major points of contact which are usually along the seam.

I need a WAVE rifled barreled! Where's my patent stamp???

I want to see more about their pistol coming out this fall. I wonder if they will have a propane version of it.

Can you mod it for more rounds per tank by using mapp gas and better spark plugs?
