Discount it like this?

I not only ackowledged it, I controlled for it. You discussed a length-controlled test by bringing in length as a variable and treating it as uncontrolled.

When you make such deliberately misleading and misrepresentative claims, and then express cockerpunk sentiments in the same discussion, it's pretty clear where you are coming from and what you are trying to do, even if it might be subconscious to you.

That does not mitigate the length portion of the equation in the least bit, acknowledgement =/= mitigation.

Perhaps drg, if more than one person has the same sentiment towards yourself: U r doin it wrong.

I can see however that this is pointless and not fruitful for myself. You sir, like to argue for the sole reason of enjoyment.

this was such an interesting discussion can we get back to it please?

the problem i see with adapting this for freak use is that there is no step for the balls to line up from the breech, without a step up the ball would encounter a .667 diameter hole from a .688 or larger breech area, causing possible ball clipping? does the python kits accommodate for this fairly large decrease in diameter?

fascinating tho you guys are in very different climates. if the test conditions were recorded we could probably extrapolate some differences extreme climates can cause.

Well a sweetspot is just a representation of the data; it's just the area at or near the peak (or nadir) of a curve. Efficiency (the measured value) compared to the underbore variable is primarily how I am defining the sweetspot in what you quoted; I actually also saw the sweetspot of the consistency curve at the same place as the efficiency sweetspot, but I'm less confident in those results as they are mathematically a bit further derived than the efficiency numbers. So I made no judgment on the consistency as far as underbore.

CONTROL = mitigation. Length was controlled. Do you not understand how this works?

I record them.

These tests were done Thursday, 2/4/10, clear sunny day approx. 75 degrees.

.667 is a reball sized insert as well guys.

Dear diary,
It's me drg again. Yup, still in sunny Hawaii, shooting at Koa, and arguing about paintball on MCB. Regardless of the outcome I win because I'm still in Hawaii.

Pretty sure that's what this is intended for, no?

Not true! Sometimes it rains. And sometimes Koa is moody, that bitch.

moody, but im 350

What does Koa's mood have to do with him being a target?
