PDI shoots more consistently/accurately than stock, and has the highest velocity of all upgrade barrels (except for the super tightbore custom barrels...), but the BBs still act like any spherical projectile shot from a smoothbore... you have to lob it at distances (medium to far.)
Nine Ball 6.03mm or PDI 6.05mm inner barrels shoot with lower velocity, but are more consistent and more accurate than a 6.01mm or tighter barrel. But again, you still have to lob the projectile at distances.
Twist barrels shoot laser straight. If you're used to shooting regular airsoft guns and having to lob the shot, shooting a projectile through a Twist barrel and having it fly in such a flat line may be unnerving. However, at distances, as the BB slows down, it may veer off course inconsistently. I'm talking about at the extreme ends of its flight path. So at close to medium to almost far ranges, Twist barrels offer point of aim, point of impact, and very consistent shots.
If it means anything, I use Twist barrels in any of my <5.1" barreled pistols.
