TMC Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Is there any benefit to a short gun other than weight and swingability? Do they shoot better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Depends on what you mean by shoot better. No mechanically they are the same as a long heavy gun. They might cycle a little quicker. It comes down to the shooter being able to transition quicker. Some people will benefit from a short light gun and some are better served with a longer heavier gun. It is an individual preference.

Loves2Shoot Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I like my weight closer to my hands, so I went with a shorter gun, to me it feels more like my limited gun as far as the balance goes. I don't know that it really matters much though, alhtough it feels like it stops quicker than when I've had longer guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.L. Hardy Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 tmc, one advantage is due to the decrease in power factor requirements recently. with the lower pf the shorter barrels allow the comp/hybrid ports to be closer to the powder charge. this results in more efficiency of the comp and porting. some shooters stuck with the long guns and just put a lighter bullet on the original powder charge with the same results. good shooting, j.l. hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
