They're for target guns that have no hopup. So yeah, the graphite lubes the barrel, and since there's no rubber there, there's nothing for the graphite to stick to and foul.

Coincidence that the big BB brand known for heavy weight graphite coated BBs (Digicon) also has a nice line of target pistols? Yeah, there is a reason there's graphite on them.
