Well unemployment has its advantages. I recently got a Tanio Koba Twist Barrel for my M14 and wondered how much (if any) of a difference it makes

I've also discovered that my narrating voice is very posh.

OK, who put up the Open University video? - all thats missing is the dodgy coursework notes and some blokes in 70's clothing.

Good effort :)

Very nice vid!

I've been running a twist barrel on my AK for about 8 months now. Has it made a difference? Dunno... heh!

heh well what did you expect with a track the took barely 90 mins to create :)

I coulda gone right down the cheese track but prefered to stick somewhere closer to Scrapheap Challenges level of wax :)

Ah I have been waiting for someone to do a test like this. Is the twist barrel tighter than the stock 6.08? if it is it would be interesting to compare it to a none twisty tight barrel.

One thing that I couldnt really show on the vid was how straight the BB flys. FAR straighter than even with tightbore barrels I've used (admitedly on other AEGs but still).

Does it reduce the velocity?

I thought the twist barrel negated / screwed the hop up action?


You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

Sound vid, you sound as "bad" as I do on video.!
Did you do the voiceover for the "health and safety in a print works" as well :wink:

Not at all...

It just only works properly with guns up to about 328fps... so fine for us!

There was no change in velocity in my AK when I fitted one.

Yeah Ive noticed no drop in power. As I said on the vid it compliments the hop and doesnt screw it up or replace it. It just flies nice and straight. Will be interesting to see how it behaves at Arnhem.

Heh yeah its a frikin awful voice over voice. I found I had to script it as if I ad-libed it was filled with ers and ums.
