    Ballistic coefficient, does it vary from barrel to barrel?

    from what i understand. the rifling in the barrel can deform pellet and change then BC slightly. mysource: Polygonal and Rifled Barrels compared for BC and Velocity j.le

    First post. Omega compressor questions.

    
Amen! start there! but make sure the paintball shop is cool with you going there and filling your tank. i've heard stories where people were unwilling to fill those massive tanks. another consideration: omega units are freaking heavy! shipping costs! lol may want to get it together and save...

    Airgun accuracy factors: follow on questions

    well for powder burners, choosing the twist rate came down to what weight bullet you are shooting. not so sure about pellets. not enough twist = not stable. too much spin = projectile disintegrates. better to over twist than to under twist. and ive noticed no airgun manufacturers really...

    FX Impact pellet drop.

    correct. to shoot long range, definitely need a bubble level. to avoid cant error. to get good groups, u have to be consistent with every shot. shoot the same way everytime. so if u have cant error, just have the same exact cant error with every shot. your groups will be nice and tight. same...

    FX Impact pellet drop.

    coriolis effect only plays a major role if projectile stays in flight for an extended period and shooting at extreme distances. applies more to powder burners. as for pellets, they tend to lose velocity pretty quick and drop like a rock. not trying to be a dick or anything. just trying to...

    FX Impact pellet drop.

    not to mention the gun's performance and trajectory/bullet drop is also affected by location. for example, hunting at sea level vs at altitude. or temperature: hot desert vs frozen tundra. just saying. jl

    Bullpups, do they make us better overall shooters?

    honestly, there's no secret to shooting. just go thru the fundamentals: positioning, grip, trigger control, follow thru, breathing, etc. judging wind and trajectory are a whole different story (this takes skills). because bullpups have a mechanical disadvantage at shooting long range; you...

    Smooth easy cocking mechanisms

    i also have a vulcan tactic 25. cocking is pretty easy. but loading h&n barracudas is a pain sometimes. jsb king chambers fine.

    Smooth easy cocking mechanisms

    daystate pulsar. easiest by far, for sure!! airwolf close second! reason being that you're NOT cocking back a hammer and spring. just moving a pellet probe back then forward, chambering the next pellet. if pellets fits in the barrel nicely, then it should truly be a one finger operation. john
