    Posted: 09 April 2006 at 2:52pm
Went out and played today and bought marbz for my gun. when i went to shoot 'em with my flatline it chopped most of them that went through it, and my pathfinder loves 'em.

What kind of paint is nice for the flatline? no matter what the price, i bought relatively cheap DBX's when i first got it and they flew pretty good. and now i buy better paint and it chops. ANY SUGGESTIONS OF PAINT FOR MY FLATLINE?

Marbs always work good with my Flatline, are you sure that you didnt get a bad batch of Marbs.

To be honest, I use any paint I can get my hands on through my Flatline and rarely have any problems at all.
If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

Suprisingly I have found that the Diablo my local field sells seems to work great with my flatline.
It takes so little to entertain the weak at mind.

i've seen good results with X-Ball bronze and Zap Tork. they have stiffer
textured shell, so they grip the inside of the barrel to spin them better. my
friend has a flatline on his custom pro, and that's what we use. he's never
chopped one in the barrel.

Marbs or Draxxus Dusk.

the dryer the paintballs the better, they stick to the barrel better so they have more spin.

hmm yeah i noticed greasier balls suck *** when being shot through the flatline. i never heard of them balls from nelson. all well my quest to find good paint continues for my flatline, i wasnt talking to someone about tourny paint being run throuhg it and chopping and his answer was thin shells hitting and 11 degree angle = choppage. im going to try to run some draxxus through like hellfires or something and see what happens because i crave the distance its capable of. another thing someone said 18 bps... i noticed that with the flatline and longer barrels you cant really do that lmao cause im capable of 20 bps and my stuff chops when i try going full auto with my flatline on

Its the ball quality (crono's dont lie) if i dont use the balls i use i bust balls bad if im shooting fast. I get my nel-splats from a local dealer around me but i dont know were he gets em.there Hemorrhage balls also work awsome heres there web page.http://www.nelsonpaintball.com/ check out ther distibutor link and look for your state. I'm in WI but my guy isnt on the list. these guys pretty much invented the paintball they made the first ones to mark tree's to be cut and then had the idea to shoot people and then paintball was born.

Never use Zap "Tork". They are the worst balls I've ever used, worse than the cheapo New-Name-Every-Week paint. They DONT break! They're horrible, I shot my friend 4 times in a row, and not 1 paintball broke. Terrible.

well, the fact that my fields limit is 300 fps might affect how well they break
(from what i've read on forums and pbreview, most fields are 280fps). i do
find they bounce, but i guess i've had better luck with them than you did.
anyways, rampage switched back to x-ball, and it's noticably better.
