Tom,
That is a great use of the bore scope and a good informative video.
Now, what really struck me about your observation was the differences in the fundamental operation between those magazines that use the pellet as the index point for each rotation from one pellet to the next, compared to the type that use a hole in a cylinder to hold each pellet. The two designs are distinctly different and can have an effect on accuracy and consistency.
Those like the Daystate's have machined distinct index points some where on the magazine cylinder which are evenly spaced from one index to the next and allow uniformity when cycled through each shot. The cylinder has holes that support the pellet.
Magazines like FX and all incarnations of them (Benjamin, Theoben/RAW, Hatsan, etc.) are at the mercy of each pellets concentricity. The alignment with the barrel for the pellet being pushed into it, is dependent on its dimensional consistency.
This "holding" pellet is the equivalent of the Daystate's and other types (HW100, Cricket, Taipan, Brocock, Edgun, etc.) machined index points. All is not perfect, as I can imagine some scenarios that could effect poor alignment for this type too. But all things being equal, I'm thinking this design is inherently better.
On a lighter note, your humor is, well, hilarious. I've laughed out loud more than once. Keep up the good work.
