Depending on how off it is, the more the pellet will fly off. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

If made incorrectly, exactly as Fritz stated. Which might make for something interesting. What if you put a break on a rifle that compensates for something (and I don't mean size or anything ), for instance when you have a barrel that's a bit bend. Could a muzzlebreak fix that problem? _________________ BIG GAP Re: "brake" on PCP   Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 4:43 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia broommaster2000 wrote: What if you put a break on a rifle that compensates for something (and I don't mean size or anything ), for instance when you have a barrel that's a bit bend.

I think it could, except it might be hard to get it just right. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

What kind of break did you put on? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2009 8:37 pm TONBON Veteran Member Joined: 02 Jan 2009 Posts: 468 a properly designed and centered brake could improve accuracy.   Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2009 10:01 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Ton, isn't that because it improves barrel harmonics? Not really helping with anything else? I know there are air strippers that do work. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
