When an bb travels through a 6.01 barrel, it has to push the air in the barrel forward, thus giving it less fps, also it sucks in air behind the bb creating a sort of turbulence which causes it to be less accurate.

If a bb travels through, let's say, a 6.03 barrel, the air that pushes the bb forward also pushes the air in front of the bb forward, giving the bb less resistance from the air it has to push forward because there is very little left. It won't have to suck in air behind the bb aswell because there is a space between the bb and the barrel (this space should be 0.08).

You should check what size your bb's are, just because it says 6 mm doesn't mean it's 6 mm.
Most companies make bb's that are 5.95-5.97mm. So a 5.95 bb would need a 6.03 barrel to get the best performance. A 5.97 bb would need a 6.05 barrel etc.

I read this somewhere but can't remember where, if there is someone who knows what I'm talking about but can explain it better, please post it to make life easier

Anyway, hope this helps.

Good to know it's not true. The guy who wrote it was quite detailed about how it worked and wrote all these formulas for effective range, fps and all kinds of other stuff. So it was pretty easy to be convinced that it works like that, specially when your rather new to airsoft.

What I read has nothing to do with any internal part beside the innerbarrel and the air flowing around the bb inside the barrel.

I tried looking it up to quote it but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

So it is true! I thought it made sense.

Anyway there you have it, hope it helps.
