"Self Cleaning Barrels", aka "You're Full Of Shit"

Ran into this while browsing the forums:

"Self-Cleaning:  Shoot through the occasional ball break -- no need to swab."

I have never seen a barrel shoot itself clean.  NEVER.

This falls under the larger category of "Barrel Bullshit", but I do not recall seeing a single published accuracy test relating to "self cleaning barrels".  Because then people would realize it's bullshit.  Just like Hammerhead barrels.

Your accuracy goes to crap and will remain crap until you run a squeegie through it.  Paintballs are not squeegies.

The only way you can possibly claim that a barrel "shoots itself clean" is if you constantly run your barrels in filthy condition, in which case you never notice the difference in performance.  And if you're one of these folks, I think we're all better off if you just learn to shut.the.fuck.up.com.  .org.

And yes, I did own a aluminum Bigshot way back when.  For my Automag.
