Flateline Bolt

I made a bolt that puts a back spin on paintballs, it fits in a A5 and 98 customs. It saves you 100 bucks

So you are saying that you designed it, or are you just saying that you have one. I want to see it and know how it works.

I NEED MORE INFO.!!!!!!! LOL!!!

did you just put the ball detent (that little orange thing) on the topside of the bolt?

Ok, you know how the ball gets a backspin right, well i took the stock bolt out and drilled 4 hole on the bottom half of were it hits the paintballs. So in turn more air is pushed out those holes/grooves I drilled. Now the more air is pushed out the mor backspin it has. The Proto type I made has one hole to far to the right so all the balls shoot a little right( I should have taken my time) If ya still can understand let me know

 

Its a really old idea. Tried by many people like Pariel said. If it did work, companies would have done it a long time ago.

i don't know, it sounds good, but backspin has to come from the ball actuall spinning off something, air cannot just to it because once the bolt moves forward, releasing the air to the bottom of the ball, thats all it gets. it needs to be turning the ball all the way down the barrel and out of it. just the initial blast i don't think is enough.

with the flatline, it takes the whole barrel moving the pb down and up the curved part to get the backspin. same with when a golfer hit a ball and puts backspin on it. the backspin comes from the contact with the club. it needs the contact with a real, hard surface to produce backspin.

Actually air can do it alone, have you ever heard of a Hop-up barrel? It accomplishes the same effect a flatline has, only a hop-up barrel does it with air pressure. It has three grooves at the top of the barrel so that when you fire there is less pressure upon the top of the ball than there is on the bottom, thus creating backspin.

A bolt? Too bad that wouldn't work.

The top would then create more friction on the paintball, allowing backspin to occur. As long as the barrel wasn't roughed up enough to rip open the paintball, it seems like it has a chance of working. Would it lose all lateral accuracy though?

Well, there is really no way a roughed up barrel could be accurate. Besides, friction is only bad for paintballs.

Flatline can already do that.

As for the roughing of the top of the barrel, some people tried it.

It didnt work to well.
