Why AGD?

i always aim for the same velocity indoors out of any marker i shoot today i mean it wa inconsistent, it was around 230 today
i usually shoot around 245, but it was same brand of paint

well thanks, i didnt know that, there is one thing im glad i learned, but i wouldnt say each batch differs on consistency, i mean im sure it changes a little, but not 4 feet from 12 feet away

[bleachit]

when I shoot my spyder with a palmers and co2 it shoots consistent and accurately...

if the pirahna you were shooting was reged ( assuming it wasnt) you would probably see better results.

then again, I do get a decent paint to barrel match along with decent quality paint...

Silly extraneous variables....

[JimmyBeam]

yea barrels make alot of diference. that and cleaning after you chop or break

[OneEyedPimp]

I think there is also an argument to be made here for the simple difference in the way the guns feel when they shoot.
For example:

I got really used to my A-5. I could hit anything, within a reasonable range with my aftermarket barrel. Someone let me shoot a mag for a day. All day, I was off my game. I am not blaming the gun, but I am blaming the fact that it was hard to get used to from shooting an A-5.

Just my 2 cents on marker consistency.

you do realize that the venturi bolt is the biggest crock ever brought to paintball?

open face bolts are used on every high end marker, you know why? higher flow.

air being distrubuted around the ball? thats all a crock as well, all the air is distrubuted through the barrel, thats where the acceleration takes place, air flows evenly, it isnt a liquid like you are thinking of it as, higher pressure moves to the lower pressure area, it will flow behind the ball evenly.


and glickman, i love trixes, so dont go there, im one of the biggest matrix proponents you will find, i find them to be the best markers on the market today.

false, the way a bolt acts and distributes the pressure can change the direction area of the ball, this can be easily seen by a stream of paint, if you shoot a stream with a dye or naughty dogs, the balls usually land in the exact same place, however with a pirahna or spyder they will not be as consistent, i have tried this using bipods so its not the trigger pull changing the location of the shot

No marker design is inherently more accurate than another. There are many factors to accuracy:

- Size, Shape and quality of paint being shot
- Barrel size and quality
- Consistency of regulator
- Weather (out of your control)

Because of the qualities of a paintball (imperfect, round, soft, filled with liquid), we can't apply the same set of physics that we do to firearms.

Secondly, since you don't provide any evidence of a well controlled or regulated experiment into accuracy, your claim that 'mags are more accurate than Pirahnas is unbased.

Not trying to get you down, but it's still all too common that people think X Gun is more accurate or has better range than Y Gun.

Tom proved in his lab a long time ago that this it incorrect. He used considerably more than a bipod "test."

While a high end gun like a matrix will be more consistent than the average Spyder clone, the bolt face effects nothing but efficiency (open face = better flow = better efficiency).
