It is likely working along the same principles of hysteresis, similar to the effects of air and gas not attaching to golf balls and engine intake manifold plenums due to the dimpled or rough surface finishes.I know in very fast boats they would like to have a slightly rough surface contact the water rather than a very smooth one perhaps this with the coating against the lead works in the same way.
I have thought about the brk ghost but can’t justify it in my mind other than a want lol. I already have an umarex notos for my youngest son, airmaks Katran .22 for my oldest son, an fx impact .22, fx wildcat .25 and fx powerpup .30 for me lol. I pretty much have everything covered. Maybe another big bore one of these days but I can’t seem to really get into them, I guess because I want to shoot everything I have and the big bore ammo is more expensiveYes sir it was me and the wife, she wanted to get her blooming onion for Veterans Day. I’m hoping to bring him some toys to play with that he doesn’t carry. Daystate/Brk need to get on the ball with slug barrels, I think that is a big holdup for some buyers.
I don't see it anywhere on the bottle however it was on the certificate that came with the bottle.i dont see DOT anywhere am i missing it?
nope ,not interestedThat’s right, I said Paradigm Mini.

Alright, alright, so this isn’t real. Which is probably evident by my amateur photo cropping. But it ought to be real. IMHO of course.
All the higher end subcompact carbines are all black tackycool style rifles and while they may work just fine, they’re too utilitarian to me and aren’t very sexy. Again IMHO of course. The EVOL Mini is the ideal size and I liked that about it when I checked one out at Airguns of Arizona a few months ago but I’m just not that into the all black tackycool rifles that much. Especially at this price point. The Paradigm on the other hand is sexy as he!!. But it’s just too long for my personal tastes. I like my gals short and petite. We need to blend short and compact with the beauty and sex appeal and I’m convinced that the airgun world needs some high quality subcompact wooden stock air rifle options.
I don’t think this would be too hard to do either. I assume a Mini tube and barrel can be put on a Paradigm with little issue so it’s just a matter of a stock. And I’m sure a professional like Steve Corcoran could make the stock easily enough. The forearm just needs shortened and do away with the recessed rail in the bottom. Maybe make it a little slimmer and rounder instead of flat. It wouldn’t be a bench gun anyhow. Personally I think this would be an an awesome offering and I’d buy one tomorrow if it were available. I’d go with a walnut stock.
So let’s hear it. Would anyone else besides me buy this if it were available?

Is your life depending on using this tripod? Not really I think so I wouldn't spend your money on a new RRS tripod unless you have plenty to spend. Don't get me wrong, yes the RRS is slightly better in some aspects but it's the law of diminishing returns since you pay a lot more for a little bit of extra stability/rigidity.
If you don't have an opportunity in your area to try one you can start with the Leofoto or similar brand and try if you like it. You have a solid base to try out then and once you can try a RRS version you can properly compare it and decide if it's worth tripleThe leofoto tripods do well second hand so you should be able to sell it quickly if you want to.
