Overboring question

[Pumpytrilly1]

Will overboring with larger freak inserts give the spray effect?

Trying to get the same effect I see in speed ball videos where the balls spread out.

Thanks

I know this one, buy some cheap paint, and watch them hook like you are at the driving range.

Spray effect?

[Trbo323]

Yeah if anything those guys are trying to avoid that as much as possible. They would rather have each shot follow exactly where the last one is so everything is predictable

I think what you are seeing is just paintballs natural inaccuracy. It's not something people are trying to do

I honestly can't see how this is in any way a positive result.

If you lack accuracy better to go with a shotgun over a rifle I guess 😂

100% would remove it from the game if possible. The number of times I have thrown a rope at the edge of a pack that is sticking out a bunker and the paintballs "spray" everywhere but onto the pack.... makes me wanna tear my hair out. Laser beams would be better by far.

Never do I waste more paint than when I can clearly see a sliver of something and the paint goes absolutely everywhere but where I am trying to put it.

I overbore everything but my guns still shoot in a line unless I have bad paint. But yeah you want them in a line, not a spray shot.

If you want that spray effect, loosen your barrel.

I had a Viking for a bit, and if I didn't have an oring to keep the barrel from loosening, balls went left and right.

Run a E-Grip Tippmann A5 with a Flatline barrel, or any marker with a Apex barrel tip. The Apex can do a whole bunch of crazy shots. And the Flatline gives you a big range increase at the cost of accuracy (gotta good spread at range). Both are very useful in scenario big games, but not much else. .

Probably a weird camera angle that makes it look like balls are raining every which way, but I don't think anyone has wanted their paint to come spraying out in every direction like shotgun pellets

[Pumpytrilly1]

I think this and trbo is the answer. It's probably just distortion from the fish eye like lens on action cams. Plus paint in accuracy.

If you want the full spray effect, just buy a ramrod for cleaning firearms that's at least 1 inch longer than your barrel. Ram it down there before the game until you feel a crunch and then you'll be guaranteed to max out your aim cone.

Take any barrel that has small holes for porting and shove pine needles inside it.
You will get all sorts of wonderful patterns and colors.
Discovered that once after crawling under a bunch of pine trees during a 10 man tournament.

Grab some GI 3 star. Thats all you need to be inaccurate. I feel like a tighter bore with oblong paintballs is going to be less accurate than an overbore. Other things you could try: leave broken paint in the barrel. Use a gravity hopper on a fast marker with no eyes and just send 'er bud. Or try a tippman flatline or Apex barrel tip, those things will give you a wild spread (that might be the least sarcastic suggestion actually)

As you can tell from all the comments, we tend to look for more accuracy, not less. What you seem to be looking for is something that occurs naturally. Even high precision firearms have a spread (MOA)

Not really sure why you would want that but basically you would want to do the exact opposite of the best boring practices.

first get the crappiest, most dimpled, non round paint you can find. Then you want to get a bore size that averages out to a bore match, if you get the right crappy paint some balls will be pretty tight and some will fall through, either way this you have the least consistent relationship between the plant and bore so you will have varying effects on the balls.

generally an overbore helps reduce inconsistencies in relation to the paint touching or not touching while (or so it is claimed) reduces breaks, but you sacrifice efficiency. Underbore (.003-.005” under the perfect match size) is the most efficient, but there’s arguments based on the data that it can slightly reduce your “accuracy” however I am not sure that really plays out in the real world with two piece barrels where the tip is massively overbored; the claim is also that it can increase breaks but I believe someone did some research on it and showed that there was no statically relevant change to support that claim.

so yeah TLDR, get a close to a “perfect” bore match on the shittiest paint. And a one piece barrel probably would also increase that since you could more easily get the effects of the uneven seal releasing at the end of the bore which could drive the balls off line slightly.
