so your barrel is clean and you regain your accurracy

Yeah, exactly what he said. Just try shooting a few shots holding your barrel plug in, take the plug out and try hitting a target 60 feet away. Then you'll understand why you gotta squeegee after a break :)

Ive heard of a ceramic barrel that all you do is take 3 or 4 shots after a break and all clean. Do these really work? Or are you better of just cleaing it

Actually...I own both a J&J ceramic and a 32* Carbon fiber/ss and they both self clean to some degree but a squgee is needed to regain full accuracy...and running h20 to clean the porting. The CF slef cleans very well actually and I usually dont need to squgee it unless it gets real bad...which doesn't happen with the 12vt nemore. Last time I played I shot about 1200 and didnt' break a thing in the gun (my spyder)....and some of the paint i was using was old...and i mean like year old. The J&J doesn't clean quite as well and really should be squgeed after a break....but for $25 it was a great buy and a perfect match for RPS all stars...my new fav paint!

The last big game I played in I was shooting all over the place...couln't figure out what happened...i wasn't chopping...but my spread was all over. I squgeed and still it happened again and again. Turns out I loaded a pod which contained a broken ball (from and earlyer pack hit) and it had greased every ball in my freeking loader...boy was I pissed...Do you know how hard it is to clean the inside of a vl200 with your hand and shirt...even in the staging area...without taking it apart....
