It was understandable to use a Mag in the dry fire tests. Revealing too.
Although it's these barrel tests I am commenting/worrying about. As I already suggested in the original "barrel test part 1 data and videos", a marker that changes operating characteristics based on back-pressure might not be the best test mule since ball-fit changes back-pressure.
Although in the Mag's case, ball-fit changes the marker characteristics in a good way (more consistent) an Ion might be better (at least initially) since its operation is independent of back-pressure. Don't get me wrong, I think the overall direction will be the same for all guns (more control bore = more efficiency). It's just that a less dynamic marker would offer a better baseline.
Just my tuppence worth.
