[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2624289, member: 106845"] Yeah, my apologies if I misread that. As far as the vapor trails and the oil… I've seen Hammers and others produce the vapor trails even when all oil removed. What is occurring is literally just water vapor in the air condensing as the bullet flies through the air. That's why you also sometimes do not see the trails with Hammers even when the oil hasn't been removed, because they were shot when/where there wasn't sufficient moisture in the air. It’s also my theory (until proven) that the reason Hammers tend to be more pronounced with this is due to all the drive bands they have that disrupt the airflow and produce the condensing vapor. It’s similar to when a fighter jet pulls a maneuver and disrupts the airflow and creates vapor off the leading or trailing edges of the wings (depending on angle of attack). [USER=25377]@orkan[/USER] has a thread where he talked about the affects on group sizes he got with the Hammers he was running with and then without the oil. It only makes sense any liquid on the bullet would have an effect on stability, yawing, etc of the bullet as it’s spinning and flying towards the target. Of course the oils will end up being flung out of the bullet as it flies due to the centrifugal forces and airflow over the bullet, but it would be gone pretty quick. [/QUOTE]
