hop up,

i play mostly airsoft and i was wondering why paintball markers dont have the same built in hop up, that way u cold have the flatline and change ur barrel.

you would also be able to adjust how much spin is on, too much and it curves up and too little and it just fires like a normal barrel.

as i dont know how the hop up works, im guessing that it puts too much stress on the ball and would make it explode which is not an issue with a plastic 6mm bb.

i personally would just stick with the flatline.

flattys rock.

Ooooooh someone got pwnd!

No. 

The receiver of the paintball gun would have to be redesigned.  Most manufacturers use a similar design because it's cheap and easy to produce.  As long as the most common products are selling, there will be no reason to make major changes in design. 

There are a few companies that have produced different designs such as Tipmann and ATS.  The closest thing to what you are talking about is the ATS system, which doesn't rely on the barrel for stabilization.

Warsensors barrels dont have threading, it uses a quick disconect system. Similar to Ariakons Sim-5 barrel, but the Sim-5 barrel is thinner. You would need some sort of custom adapter in order to fit any other gun. Evil_Fingers is on the right track.

i dout a hop up system would  really be anymore efective than an electric hopper
