KEEP JUNK OUT OF THE BARREL.
For the most part, putting any form of anything in your barrel will only decrease accuracy. You want as little interfering with your ball as possible, and certainly no liquid. That said, people used to use Rain-X inside their barrel. I never did this, and have my doubts this trick did anything. I really don't see the need to... GI JOES SON: Actually, the entire inner surface of the Flatline is textured, so there is no lube. It is, however, overbored and curved. These three factors allow the paintball to grip the top of the barrel as it travels down it, imparting a backspin. This gives it the added distance the Flatty is known for. |

Rain-x was not about increased distance, it was about being able to shoot through breaks easier on the older, less well finished, barrels. It did make a difference for this. I have never had the urge to do this on any after-market barrel made since the mid-'90s.

Another ditto - Lots of great basic info for us newbs.
At this point, I have all I need except a chrono. I want to get in a variety of practice before hitting a course, but if I'm not shooting at the right velocity, it will be less meaningful. Already spent a ton of $, and another 80 for a chrono (including shipping) is tough :P Anyway, Thanks again. |

I'm trying to be a sniper in woodsball but at the same time I want to be able to deal with close quarters. Do you think the Flatline would be the best for me?

Thanks for all the great information . I'm a complete newbie , I bought my first paintball marker , a 98 Custom Platinum Series Power Pack , today on clearance at Walmart today. I can't wait to play some woods ball . I think I'm going to need some more protective gear first . I'm sure everyone is going to target the Newbie Old Dude , but it should be lots of fun . Thanks Again .
