hello i need to kno something about a bolt any bolt it doesnt matter closed or open it doesnt matter ok here's my question. can a bolt affect the range of a shot example: an old stock bolt that has one hole in the center is being used and a new aftermarket bolt with 3 holes evenly divided is being used can one shoot farther then the ohter if the same ammount of air is being distributed throughout each bolt ?:confused: :confused: :confused:

A gun shooting at the same velocity and at the same angle will shoot the same (unless you get a flatline or z body)

it will even shoot the same if the holes in it are arranged differently?

Yep. Having the holes arranged differently might help with consistancy, but it will not improve range.
