Thats not so easy when you have cocker threads, its 8.5 turns and you have the pnue host pushing the barrel making it worse.

2 piece barrels do that to they just have to be crafted right to make a straight connection.

and in a speedball game you don't have time to uncrew your barrel.

I was thinkin about this.

OK we all know when we have a barrel break the next balls you shoot go everywhere and that really hurts your accuracy and your waistin balls really.  But ok a hinge about an inch into the barrel and swings down when you press the button that is located at the top or bottom of the barrel and the barrel swings down allowing you to ram a squeegee of your choice in there and then popping the barrel back into placeand your back in action.

This whole action could take as little as 10 seconds if you use a staright squeegee just ram it in take it out pop the barrel and your done clean barrel and all.

You would have to make sure the barrel makes a good fit when you put back in place so it doesn't screw up anything.
