THE TESTING PRINCIPLE

To make sure our tests are reliable, we’ll take a different approach than most guys do. A lot of people in the airsoft community that test guns to show you the accuracy and precision usually take a standing position and shoot at a cardboard target in that way.

In our eyes that are way too many human variables we like to eliminate to provide data that only has to do with the accuracy of the barrel in relation to the optics.

In order to get this done the shooter will take a seat and use a table as a stable platform. Above that he will use what’s called a “sniper hold” to be able to make very small adjustments. This way the shooter’s movements will be eliminated as much as possible.

Other variables we’ve also taken care of are:

that we’ve put the target at the exact same height as the barrel of the gun. Because if you shoot too much down, the BBs will fly up in the air due to the Magnus Effect working in on them.
Besides that, the range we’re using has walls on both sides to eliminate wind influence as best as possible.

SPECIFICATIONS OF TEST 1

For the first test we’ll put the laser bore sighter inside the barrel of each gun and aim at the center of the target that we’ll put at the corresponding zeroed distances of each gun.

This way, we’ll visually see where the laser represents itself which will give an idea of how well the zeroing took place.

SPECIFICATIONS OF TEST 2

For test 2 we’ll put the laser aside and place a magazine in the guns. Here we will shoot 10 shots at each target set at the corresponding zeroing distances of the guns. After that we’ll see what results we get.

RESULTS OF TEST 1:

As shown on the photos, you can see that that the laser presents itself on the target and in some cases even not that quite far away from the center of the target. This already indicates us a good optic zero.
