what kind of paint were you using?

A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator. |

It helps to have a chrono when setting up the flatline. You'll
get the best results with velocity set from 270 to 280 fps. The higher
the velocity the more unpredictably the paintball will fly.
Double check your paint, if it's old or dimpled it's not going to work well in a flatline. Use decent quality fresh paint. Some Walmart paint is ancient by the time it gets to the shelf, so beware. |

You need to use good kinds of paintballs. |

I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Small to small-medium paint at the correct velocity will produce 6 to 10 inch groups at 150 - 200 ft. |

Are you sure everything is lined up correctly....when lining up the marker, you would need to hold it upright, meaning holding the marker straight up and down, holding the marker slightly to either side will cause the balls to curve.
And if you say thats what youre doing, then look at how the barrel is adjusted to...I dont know if you knew that there is a "notch" at the base of the muzzle break on top...use that notch to make the necessary adjustments to the barrel. |
