First of, does a reversed naildart have advantage in accuracy? Never tried reverse. Also does a heavier dart have an advantage of stabalizing the flight pattern of a projectile. ( As in not veering off course.) Fired from a paintballgun, which has power to push a 53grain paintball 280-300 fps. Heavier(towards 60-70grain) of course will gain trajectory, but thats ok as long as it does not veer, Im petrified of veering darts. Well it will be best if a 40 grain dart can have no veering, then i'll have its flat trajectory and range. Point me towards the right direction plz, thanks so much.
Theoretically it has potential to be more accurate due to the CG being moved forward. Heavier darts have more momentum which enables them to retain their velocity better and be more resistant to crosswinds. I think some simple spring mods and your warmer climate (if using CO2) will enable your paintball gun to push a 40 grain dart pretty close to 400 fps. If you can make a discarding sabot (which i've almost perfected) you'll have less drag and longer range. My system requires the nail to be head first.
Is a paintball gun barrel rifled?
Sometimes they are rifled, more often than not, they will have straight rifling. Most are smoothbore, though. Light porting near the muzzle is something that would probably be beneficial for shooting darts.
