I modded one of my old sharpshooters as its range was only about 15 feet max. I used this mod: http://nerfhaven.com...wtopic=4511&hl=

I only use stock micro darts, no stefans.
I used 1/2'' CPVC for the mod.



Because only the foam of stock micros fits in 1/2 CPVC, the rubber is left out of the barrel, obviously.



It averages about 55 feet angled now. Nothing spectacular, but much better than before.

My question is, if I used 1/2'' PVC, instead of CPVC, thus allowing me to stick the entire stock micro into the barrel, would I get better range? Is having the entire dart in the barrel better than having just the foam, provided they both have tight seals? I'm thinking the results would be negligible, but you guys know much more than me.
Sorry to sound n00bish, but I appreciate any responses.
