    High pressure vs Low test Tom or Billmi?

    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,
