curve ball

i just went paintballing with my A5. it shot strait. after that i bought super swril balls for home use. i shot it at the target and it did a curve and it kept shooting curve balls. i messed with the velocity screw it helped straiten it out but not much

Sounds like oily paint or an oily barrel.

Check your paint to make sure no balls broke in the hopper or bag and check to see if they are oily.  If so, they may be old and require replacment or simply poor quality and requirng you to wipe off excess oil.

Also take a cotton ball and pull it through the barrel a few times.  Run warm water mixed with dish soap through the barrel.  Run another cotton ball through covered with dish soap and then run more warm soapy water.  Rinse with warm clean water for a few minutes and continue to rinse until no soap is left in the barrel.

Run a few cotton balls and paper towels through until dry then rinse again and dry again.  Dry with a hair dryer on a low setting and then stand on paper towel overnight to finish.

This will completly clean your barrel and fix your problem.

P.S - Also be sure your velovcity never exceeds 300 FPS, or better 290.  Some fields require lower speeds.

By the Way

 

Welcome to the forums!

Make sure your barrel is clean, your are using clean paint with out any dimpels, and your velocity is not too high.

If your balls were all curving to one way then maybe your barrel was not screwed in tight enough. If the balls were curving every which way it is most likely bad paint, the balls have a lot of dimpels on them. Or it is a bad paint to barrel match. The balls are too small for your barrel and are moving around in the barrel when you shoot.

Yeah it might be the Super Swirl paint. If it dosent fit well in your barrel..ie to big or small it will pull to one side. Try another paint. Hope this helps.
