A5 flatline rumor i heard

No. Just clean it and it will be fine.

NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

No problem.

I have recently bought a flatline barrel and when I was first shooting it, it never broke a ball, but on my last broke. I heard a rumor that once you break a ball with one the barrel will not shoot right again, even if you cleam it. This sounds stupid I know, but I don't have anymore paintballs to test the rumor. So I was curious if it is true.

You broke a ball in a Flatline!!! That is never supposed to happen!!! It is so unexpected that there isn't even a way to fix it!!! It will never shoot straight again!!! Your only solution is to buy a new barrel!!!

And even with a new barrel, don't let the old contaminated one lie close to it because it will contaminate the new one...requiring you to buy a third. Get rid of that contaminated barrel before you even get the new one in the house. I'll take it off your hands and you won't have to pay me a cent. Heck, out of the kindness of my heart I'll even pay the shipping. Just trying to help you out here so that that contaminated barrel doesn't ruin the rest of your paintball playing life.

Now, don't you feel properly embarrassed to have even asked such a question. Your cousin does that to you all the time, doesn't he? Why do you listen???

I'd say the cousin needs about a hopper full of RT in the butt for that.

what i have heard about the Flatline is that since the inside of it is textured; over a period time that rough surface begins to wear out and the quality of your shots slowly goes to **edited**.

E-trigger

14" Lapco Snapshot barrel

that's natural wear.

That's included in the warranty? if Tippmann will re-surface that for free, then that's nice.

Have they done that for you?
