That it does. I have one for both of my RFBR rifles. I'm trying to get away from using them but I think I'm going miss that sound too muchMakes your rifle sound cool when you fire it....
When used in small bore and high power silhouette the aluminum bloob tube with a weight at the end slows the inertia of a moving barrel allowing more time to 'squeeze' off a shotWhat exactly does a Bloop Tube do ?
I used to think this too. However, after using a tube for a season in ARA in the Texas wind I don't think it helps anything. It was just wishful thinking on my partGood Discussion...
Aside from the increase sight radius, potential tuning benefits, and certainly the cool sound one might also consider this something that helps modulate the transition from bore to atmosphere at the critical junction of the muzzle. At least for rimfire.
Maybe creates a transition zone for the bullet for some "quiet time" to help stabilize and maybe protect against crosswind.
Here's a carbon fiber vented bloop tube we put on a CZ457 with the Lothar Walther barrel. Still studying groups and performance but things look promising.

Years ago, there was a guy (Don B.) who made bloops. he made one with an insert that vented the gases outward to ports of the tube. it was his first design, and I did some testing with it. I also blocked the ports on some of the tests and got some really surprising results. on one rifle it made the shots go about 10-feet to the right. even Don couldn't understand why. every other rifle it worked fine. using this bloop I got decent results. nothing where I would say would be breakthrough.On another forum, I threw Bernoulis principle out there and speculated on how vented tubes might be affecting turbulence on the heel of the bullet but the more I play with them the more I have doubts it has any meaningful effect on accuracy
When I started shooting in the '90s a "still aur" effect was sometimes touted as a benefit of tubes. However others noted that the propellant gas is travelling rather faster than the bullet and is contained with the tube so the inside is very much not still.Good Discussion...
