(It might be bead blasted but I'm not sure) Anyways. I was looking on Actionvillage and noticed they had 2 different lapco bigshot 12'' for the A-5 one said micro honed and all that jazz and the other one said the same thing but it said bead blasted or w/e. So what's bead blasted? I've never heard of it before. |

bead blasting is when they strip the paint of the barrel making for a matte black look Edited by bravecoward |

does Bead blasting change the accuracy or performance of the barrel? |

no it doesnt change anything except the appearance
of the barrel. Bead Blasted if I'm not mistaking is when the barrel isn't "shiny" most useful for woodsball players |

Bead Blasted refers to the exterior of the barrel being bombarded by glass beads. Like sand blasting, but with beads instead of sand. This just makes the barrel look different, but wont affect performance.
