You might be wondering about the accuracy of NRA gun ratings if you are considering buying a paintball gun. It's understandable to be concerned. There are many guns that have error margins. A Kel-Tec P-3AT could have a 7.7 rating, but it may be 7.0. This scenario shows that the gun is not only slightly better then the 7.7 rating, but still falls short of NRA requirements. Continue reading to learn why gun ratings may not be as reliable as they seem.
NRA's standards
The NRA's gun ratings standards have caused controversy. NRA has been trending downwards since its recent legal fees and the division of its institutional voice. Although the NRA supports open carry laws, conservatives feel that A ratings are not sufficient to protect Americans' rights. But what should they do? These are just a few options. Here are some of them:
Antique firearms are: These weapons are antique if made before 1898. Modern firearms are classified after that date. For top-break revolvers the firearm's condition will be considered acceptable, but not outstanding. Modern S&Ws would be exempted from these standards. If the gun had a 80% original finish, it would be considered an antique gun. The firearm could also be considered excellent if it was used in hunting.
Std. Cat. Firearms
The Std. Cat. of Firearms describes firearms in a different way than widely accepted NRA standards. Modern guns are often considered "Very Fine," while antiques can be described as "Fair." When looking for a used gun, make sure to check the Std. Cat. of Firearms standards, and compare the condition of each gun with its price guide. A good gun should be priced between $1,000 to $3,000; a poor gun will not have this range.
Paintball gun ratings
When buying a paintball weapon, there are many things you should consider. It is important to consider its weight. This will affect your play experience. A lighter gun is easier to use and allows you to shoot better. The barrel length is the next thing to consider. A longer barrel will give you more accuracy and consistency in your shots. An upgraded barrel will allow you to improve your accuracy.
Speed is another important consideration. A paintball marker able to travel at 280 fps can have an effective range of 80-100 ft and can hit the target in less that one third of second. This speed can be measured using a chronograph. They may ask you to chronograph your marker, if required by the field. This will ensure you shoot within the safety shooting range. The ball can travel upto 200 miles an hour while playing paintball.
