big flatline problems

hey i just got flatline barrel for 98 custom and it has broken almost every paintball ive shot. today is the first day ive tried it and ive adjusted the velocity countless times, squeegeed twice after every brake, used cheap paint, but also switched to good paint which had less breaks but the balls lobbed terribly. i have as much patience at it will take to fix this up as long as i get some good suggestions from people.

Hey!

The flatline requires high-quality small bore paint.(anything PMI/RPS works well)

Also...like T.H. said, it needs to be clean, you should give it a good wash right out of the box.

Make sure your velocity is down between 260 and 270 fps, this will give you optimal performance.

And unless it's really cold, the paint shouldn't become too brittle.

And to expand on what T.H. said, when CO2 gets cold, it condenses which causes more liquid CO2 to form, which consequently, if introduced to your valve, will cause velocity spikes.(higher fps)

Also...make sure you're not chopping the the paint in the breech versus in the barrel itself.

If you shoot at high speed without an agitated hopper, you WILL chop paint.

get a 12 gage squeegee and rod system they are the right fit and is the only squeegee that i have found that will go all the way done the barrel when it is still attract to the gun
