Quite a few excellent comments basically tying into my original posts...just a new way to $$$....but within that context make no mistake carbon IMPO is THE STRONGEST material commercially available with the unique quality it tags along with it...Mahi that schwits strong if you ever take a look at the raw state its a zillion strands of spiderwire thats glued together with poxy another incredibly strong material in and of itself...I should add the carbon belly in my guns serve to stiffen it since the barrels are about 1/2" high by 1 1/2" wide (this guns are slivers) we ran a few prototypes prior and with 2 bands their was about 1/16" flex so the carbon gave it the rigidity we were after...my guns start at 100cm, with most we've built at 110 and above (just finished 2-140's, 1-150) at these lengths powered up with 2-3 5/8's with those tight dimensions the carbon has a perfect justifiable application, and as I had mentioned just the belly alone provides the rigidness it needs....yet a bunch of guys want carbon in the lams...he who dies with the most toys wins
