Closed bolt and low pressure systems are simply gentler on the ball, they don't apply as much force to get the ball to seal inside the barrel and therefore there is a lesser chance of a spin developing.

Of course all of that goes to **** during rapid fire!

All I'd say is that closed bolt markers like the Excalibur do feel a little smoother compared to open bolt markers like the Viking.
These 2 markers are excellent for comparrisons between open and close bolt as they are very similar in design with the exception of an extra solenoid and ram.

If so I quite agree, I was taking the pi$$!

Why is it that everytime someone asks a question about a barrel, range, accuracy etc. that we go through the same things!

ITS BORING!!!!! :p :rolleyes: :mad:

agreed, just people like to ask rather than use a search :rolleyes:
