Hey guys,

I recently read that that...

tighter inner barrel=increased fps, but wider grouping
looser inner barrel=decreased fps, but tighter grouping

My question is, why would anyone want a tightbore barrel if it decreases your accuracy?

Or are those findings listed above, pretty negligable in that the fps decrease/increase won't be significant and the accuracy won't really matter unless you're a "sport" airsoft shooter who does competitions?

I'm looking at this from a combat perspective and can't see why you'd ever want a tightbore barrel when you can always up your FPS enough with springs, internal component weight, etc. Accuracy would be more important given the usual FPS limits on fields, no?

Thanks all
