So the shaft was not knocked off course, which is what I figured would be the case as otherwise all alloy guns with plastic muzzles would be the subject of complaints. To truly find out differences takes lots of shots as even with one gun you get some variations and if the averages of the test groups separate out sufficiently then you have a real difference between the guns. I have seen many guns being tested and the variability of results often masks true differences and if one guy does all the shooting then he starts to get tired and that is another variable, plus the bands tend to stretch out being more powerful at the start of shooting. These tests were for accuracy and the shaft hitting at the same angles over different flight distances in a pool.
