Hey guys, I was pokin around the web and looking at all the different barrels out there but one question comes to mind. Will a barrel that is over-bored be ok? I have read that doing so will prevent breaks and a lot of the more serious players do it. Does it work? or is it all just smoke and mirrors?

it will not cause breaks like an under-bored barrel would. a lot of people are doing it, yet nobody realyl knows why. If they do they've not come out and said it. I'd liek to see a scientific test done on bore sizes to put all the talk to rest.

The thinking is that you are sacrificing some air efficiency and slight accuracy to prevent barrel breaks. A barrel break means you either have to hope the barrel shoots itself clean or you have to take the time to swab it clean. I'm not sure that the serious players are doing it a quality bag of paint won't vary in size enough that you would end up with one big enough to cause a break. I think it is the kids that think they are serious players but are still on a high school budget buying the cheap stuff doing it more than anyone.
