Apparently the smooth bores do lead up quite a bit though when you put pellets through them and have to be cleaned regularly.

Still, it does kind of pose the question: are rifled bores actually necessary for fun CO2 pistols shooting pellets at max 10 m?
Interesting point, and I would proffer, for fun Co2 shooting, probably not (but what do I know ) ???
