Wow, maybe like the third thread I've ever started... anyway
I want to know, from all you people, that believe closed bolt is more accurate than open bolt, why it is that you believe this. Think about it logicaly, dont just tell me "because it is", say something about pressure, ball deformity, whatever, I dont really care, I just want to know where this is coming from, other than "the cocker is closed bolt, cocker is accurate, closed bolt must be accurate". And also, lets try very hard not to turn this into a flame war, I just dont see how people can believe this when closed bolt and open bolt are both essentialy identical
ie. (Bolt moves forward to chamber a ball, at it's most forward point, gas flows through bolt and fires ball. Only difference is in what step of the sequence the bolt is in when you pull the trigger)
So, like I said, post away smart guys :)
