looks good . pumps are great .
i want to ask someone who wont flame me . no isint it partly true that pumps can have more of a acciuret shot becuz the bolt is not slaming into the back of the ball and thus bouncing it all around the barrel . since it gose froim still ... to 300 fps . without all the bouncing? isint this partly true? meaning blowbacks and gun that are not closed bolt have to be sweet spoted more that pumps or closed bolt guns . am i partly true?

Your logic is right, but it's not a huge difference.

I've not noticed better accuracy, but that's because I'm able to control my shots a lot more with a pump than with a semi.

Having played both pump and semi, I consider the inherent accuracy advantage of pumps to be mainly myth. There are just to many other factors that can affect the flight path of a paintball for the type of marker to make a significant difference. Now, having said that, I will offer the following:

Pumps generally do not have ball detents, this means that those who use them have to be very picky in ball/barrel selection in order to get a good fit that prevents ammo rolling out the barrel. (It also contributes to accuracy.)
Pump players have a limited rate of fire and generally limited ammo as well. This means they work to make every shot count. This could provide the illusion of accuracy from the marker when it is in fact the player.
Pumps tend to be rare these days on fields with semis and electros. When someone is hit by a pump, it is thusly much more memorable.

I believe all of the above contribute to the myth. (Yes, and in some cases make the marker more accurate; but the same upgrades would improve the accuracy of a semi or electro as well.)

I think tyger did a show on this idea.

The gun is sweet though.

Haha! Now that you mentioned it, it does

Ah well. I bought this x-chamber hoping to put it on my p/c, but since I got a palmer I didn't need it anymore. So I used it on the pump. It was silver and blue before, which I thought painting the x-chamber would look more blend in, but yes it does look like one hahaha

I remember Tyger's show. Personally, I think it is not true. From my experience, it is the shooter that makes it accurate, other than the bore size and paint size. I've learned that from using a semi and pump, I can be accurate as using one and the other.
