In theory its not a bad idea at all. I know nothing about physics at all, so I couldnt begin to give yoan estimate as to how it'll end up. Again, in theiry its kinda neat, practice......who knows? Good luck. |

So you tried this tape thing XX?
I don't see how this could work well. Getting tape inside a barrel to be perfectly straight with no bumps or wrinkles seems impossible. The only way I can think of is to use a thin dowel rod and stretch the tape tight and secure it to the rod at the ends, put it in the barrel and hope it sticks and doesnt wrinkle and then cut the ends of the tape that hangs out off. Good luck, you have more patience than I. This doesnt sound as bad as the guy who suggested putting jb weld at the end of the barrel so the paintball would "ramp up". |

the only way I see it working is to design a barrel from scratch with a
flat bottom. The reason for the flat bottom is so you can put needle
bearings in it...keeping the flat side as narrow as possible is the
key....the top rounded section would have a graphite finish to it to
create the backspin. It may or may not work

I think he was saying that the idea is not very good and that you should all purchase tippmann flatline barrel systems you penis jockeys. i think that it good be good but getting it setup to give the right amount of spin will be difficult. |

maybe i dont have 100 bucks to spend on a flatline. a 50 cent role of electrical or masking is so much cheaper. if you dont like the idea, too bad. |

I don't think it's gonna break the balls, I've done meaner stuff to the inside of a barrel then that.
I just think it'll have to MUCH spin and it'll send it straight up. |

the problem is it might break paintballs and even it that doesnt break em when paintballs do break for whatever reason or u just needed to clean ur barrel the squeegy would pull the tape out |

So, has anyone tried it yet?
I was also thinking about (along with the rough top), putting a straight line of porting on the top as well. |

In theory this should work but a lot of fine tuning would be required to make it any good. It is very unlikely you will get it right first time so you would have to buy more than one barrel making it more expensive than buying a flatline.

Xball bronze and silver work REALLY well in my flatline. Silver doesn't like to break long distance though.

would you use thin shelled paint in a regular flatline? use marballizers or some strong stuff. small caliber too.

But with the top of the ball clreating fraction it is gonna break balls and slow it down. But thats my opinion. If you want to make it, knock yourself out. with thin shell paintballs they will defintly break at the level of friction at like 280FPS. Have fun though

straight flatline=cheaper and easier to make. it also is easier to clean, can be self cleaning and can be made at home for FREE! also, the velocity would be the same, not slown down. paintball velocity is always gonna be about 280fps for me. ill work around ball breaks somehow... |
