It takes years to patent something.

And if its that easy for someone to do it, why would they buy it.

No kidding. If it works as well as you suggested, get a patent or copyright or sumthing.

actually, i was going to, but i live in kind of a "condensed" neighborhood, so i couldnt get accurate readings of range. also, i ran out of air.

anyway, my grandparents have 16 acres of land, and we go there like every weekend, so when we make our next visit, i promise more accurate results, including stats for the J&J compared to the "straightline barrel." just be patient.

I need a measured distance before I go taping up my barrel.

Im assuming maybe 10 feet.

i am god. quite simply. i got my j&j in today, and immediately tested this idea out. here are the results.

Materials:
-14 in. Tippmann Werks barrel.
-Packaging tape, the kind with the reinforcing threads woven in, to be specific. about 4 in.X 1/2 in. used various sizes, this one had the most consistant results.
-Triad paintballs. size not sure. (cheapo paintballs)

Procedure:
-apply tape to inside top of barrel, in the front (buisness end). make sure its smooth.
-that's it. simple and CHEAP.

Results:
-SUCCESS!!! there were flaws though. paint actually survived for the most part, but if the edges popped up on the tape, it would catch the ball and pop it. rare though. another downside was sometimes it would shoot any which way, but in part a blame the paint. overall, i did notice a distance increase over the j&j that i compared it to (also 14 in.) I R00L!!!

wtf did you just say? seriously...

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.

its not that i dont like the idea, its the fact that even if the tape doesnt break it, the tape would SERIOUSLY slow down the ball and this isnt very likly but its possible for the ball to get stuck in the barrel, and like i said before u couldnt squeegy the barrel, the tape would come out, like i said its not that i dont like the idea, i just dont see how it could work
