My appologies. I did not realize what weight of BB you were using as it was not indicated in any of your previous postings.

The absolute truth of the fact is, that these barrels are only effective at 1 JOULE or less. This calculates to 330fps with 0.20g BBs. If you are shooting 350fps with 0.20g BBs, putting in a 0.25g BB WILL NOT lower the work output. Work output remains the same in constant source systems such as AEGs. In Variable/expanding output systems such as gas weapons, your work output will actually increase if you put in a heavier projectile, thus, making the performance that much worse.
LOL........ and thank you bro for clarifying the 330 limit....I was assuming that this was the limit for the functional benifit of this design of barrel. I have read so much about these things and nothing is really clear, just a whole bunch of speculation, with possible grounds, but no solid test results.......for higher fps BAs.

Thanks again;
