Interesting mod for Tac-1

The Longbow's actually kind of cool. The 18" barrel offers one advantage I can think of - you can be further back in brush and still get a clear shot. Think about it, your barrel's poking out and there you are way back in the bushes. Harder to spot, harder to hit. The lack of a hopper means that it's easier to crawl along and you've got a lower profile. And if you take off the shroud I think you can fit more stuff on the rails - the shroud's just there to keep it from looking funny.

That thing is pathetic.. On the website that sells them, they try to say that the longer the barrel the better, They also say you can enjoy aiming your scope and nailing someone in the goggles at 100 yards away.

They ruined a perfectly good tac, adn they should be ashamed that they turned what was already a great marker into a marketing ploy.

Where does it say that you can nail somebody at 100 yards away? lol. the barrel is indeed there for a couple reasons.

1. quieter sound signature
2. looks match the 21 round spring fed mag (these are pricey but you understand why once you see what goes into them and how they hold the balls in when they are in a holster/mag quiver)
3. Increased stand off distance in bushes (as the previous poster stated how you can be further back in to a bush but still get a shot off w/out exposing ones self unnecessarily)
4. Accuracy is a crapshot (in regards to barrel length) however for some reason we found more consistancy with slightly longer barrels. When it comes down to it though shooting the highest quality paint is the ultimate factor given a well setup and chronoed gun)
