The main problem with airsoft ballistics (and that throws folks who know regular rifle ballistics) is the combination of factors that dont normally mesh.
First; smoothbore barrels. They do not behave the same way as rifled. Add to that a round ammunition, a back-spin system, and various ammo weights. It's enough to give experts a headache.
To best understand airsoft ballistics, you have to think about shotguns firing slugs instead or even look at muskets.
So... bear with me, here is what 'normally' would happen. A tightbore will improve accuracy, not really range.
A tightbore may also increase the velocity because there is less air to escape around the BB as it goes down the barrel.
The heavyer weights will behave differently after they leave the barrel. How much depends on tons of factors.
Can things be said with certainty for all guns? No. And that too is something unusual in the ballistic world.
What everyone has to do is experiment within some basic parameters with their own gun, then learn from it. Some tricks will apply in general, but nothing is going to work for everyone.
I've seen stock guns outperform upgraded ones with all kinds of bells and whistles.
I guess my point is that there is no point except to test stuff yourself. Stalker did.
