We been getting a lot of questions regarding our BCAR200 and BCAR300 on which one should you get for your blaster. After a few fielding of practical test, months of experimenting and feedback from some of you guys, we are here to clarify it all. 


Before we start, let's go into some detail about our BCAR. The BCAR200 is a 8 degree BCAR while the BCAR300 is a 18 degree BCAR. Other than that, they share similar quite similar profile with just some small difference in the "air scoop" near the bearing area. It's printed in PLA MAX in 0.12mm layer height with 100% infill to give a smoother finishing and improve lifespan of the BCAR. It's not CNC metal but we put it through thousands of shots, going through long hours of milsim games, without any fiddling at all and it's still going strong. With its fairly low price point, the performance, stability and reliability that it delivers, what more can one ask for eh?


But wait a minute, isn't the common saying that when you have more FPS, you should reduce the twist? After countless hours of testing, we think this is can be quite subjective because you have the dart grip that the bearings has on the dart in play as well. A faster dart will move faster through the bearings, reduce amount of time that the bearing is gripping the dart, similar to wheel slipping in a car. We tried using BCAR200 which have a lower twist on higher FPS blaster and in the end BCAR300 just do better in terms of accuracy and consistency. Although it doesn't fit the usual "logic" but nothing beats real world testing because that's what matters the most anyway. 


The BCAR200 is our favorite because it works well with a wide range of blaster. Although it's rated for 200FPS, we have tried it from blaster as low as 130FPS up to 230-240FPS and it still works well. The BCAR200 being 8 degree twist is an all rounder BCAR. It works well with Worker Seagull, Firefly, BK1S/BK2S etc. Generally, we will advise to use it for blaster firing below 230-240FPS. 


The BCAR300 is catered more for higher FPS blaster, starting from 240-250FPS onwards. It works well with Worker Harrier equivalent class of blaster and it's my personal go-to BCAR for sniping on 1.6x300 550mm Harrier with a LPVO. Unfortunately, we don't really have anything pushing way past 300FPS so we can't really test how much it can go.


The most important part of achieving accuracy is undoubtedly the dart itself. Through our testing, BCAR200 and BCAR300 seems to love bamboo darts. It works well with most standard dart but works exceptionally well with the bamboo dart. This comes bit surprising to us because most BCAR that we have tested have issue with bamboo due to the low grip area available on the dart. Perhaps this is when the extra twist really comes in handy. This indirectly allow us to fire at a higher FPS while maintaining accuracy. We have tested it against Worker lightweight which by the way is one of the best darts for blaster below 200FPS; Worker Gen2 HE, Worker Gen3, Worker Heavyweight, Rumbling Heavyweight dart and the BCAR seems to work well too.


Recently we have just released a shorter Firefly BCAR meant for Firefly blaster which is based off the BCAR200. We test run it in a recent milsim event on a 10KG firefly firing Worker lightweight dart at 180FPS. Based on the amount of tags we got, we can say it performs way better than expected. We would like to hear more feedback from you guys and if you really can't decide, we suggest you to get both BCAR200 and BCAR300 because these 2 will get you covered in all situation!
