![]() ![]() ![]() Whether it be 6.08mm or 6.01mm, barrel bore is damn near inconsequential when compared to hopup. I'm about to drop a huge truth bomb.barrel bore barely matters. If your contact patch only protrudes through a small slit in the middle of the barrel window, you're only going to get decent results. Barrel window size is a massive factor when R-Hopping especially. ( ) Notice how the stock ACM barrel has the largest window of all of them and the Matrix Tightbore has the smallest, despite being an aftermarket "upgrade" barrel. ( ) The first two are great for flat and r-hop, but I'd avoid slant-windowed barrels all together. One of the biggest factors when it comes to barrels in R-hopping or flat hopping is the window. A 400FPS gun may be able to range 250ft, but a 500FPS gun will certainly reach it in a more timely and consistent fashion. This being said, correctly voluming the barrel to the cylinder is crucial to consistent FPS, which aids tremendously in 250ft+ ranges. If you have a decent air-seal and a roughly correct volumed cylinder port, you should be fine. ![]() If you'd like to factor in FPS and air voluming, be my guest, but those things don't really effect range and accuracy so directly, only how quickly the BB gets there and how quickly it loses the air behind it as well as velocity consistency. ![]() In terms relative to range and accuracy, barrel length doesn't mean anything. Let's get the big one out of the way first. I took some relatively popular barrels and compared them side by side. You don't necessarily have to go out of your way to order a $60+ Prometheus or PDI barrel to get great results. What is it that makes a good barrel? Well, there are a lot of things that factor into a good barrel. So, to dispel some of the mis-information and rumors on the topic, I thought I'd write a coherent article regarding hop up and barrel modifications, specifically inner barrels, R-Hop and Flat Hop.įirst things first, I strongly recommend you read /u/Argoms ( ) before you read this, as it covers a lot of good stores, brands, sites and parts. There is a lot of mis-information surrounding airsoft parts, such as inner barrels and hop up modifications, and predictably so, airsoft teching can be confusing in the early stages. ![]()
