Ok, so a few weeks ago me and a few friends started getting into paintballing. Trying to go every weekend, so i asked my brother if i can have his old 98c and he gave it to me. The gun is pretty old so i wasnt expecting anything amazing. Test fired it and it shot fine, i was kinda impressed. And then just yesterday i got a new flatline barrel system and a double trigger. Installed both, took me about a half hour. Went outside for a quick testfire, and i noticed immediately i was dropping paintballs out the front of my barrel. The gun is shooting fine, (I think) but whenever i aim it towards the ground i drop a paintball or two out the barrel.
 
Any help? Why is this happening??

Dropping as in rolling out ?  It sounds as if your ball stop/detent is worn.

no. The design holds in in front of the barrel. It may just be worn and need replacement.
