Another Which Barrel is Best Thread

[drg]

But the difference between your test and my test will be that I hold the barrel steady rather than clamping it... so in truth its not actually 4" grouping but somehow the small movement that my hands cause on the marker ended up perfectly counter acting every slight curve of the ball and gave a great 4" grouping...

Now I wish I had made a video of the test that day

You cannot counteract a random variation actively. So if a gun cannot shoot less than a 4" group completely stabilized (i.e. clamped), you will not be able to do it by hand repeatably.

Perhaps you can hit a 4" target at 100 feet eventually, but you will certainly not get a group on it even clamped unless you ignore some outlier shots.

You 1) are underestimating how far 100 feet is and 2) are mentally blocking out the shots that don't hit the intended target.

Why is this continuing to be debated? It's pretty clear...

i thought so too...

im not saying i can do it on command, and i know for a fact that it was 100 feet because i measured it out. and i know that i cannot actively counteract it on purpose seeing as each shot is random. What i am saying is that i somehow just happened to be moving at just the right direction and speed to counteract each shot that i took (not on purpose) and got a 4" group while shooting at a 5' tall and 4' wide bunker in a chrono area my buddy made in his backyard.



so effectively i cannot do it on command but i have done it and am still going to make a video to see if i can repdroduce it.

Years and years later... people still haven't figured this out.
