flatline barrel kit

I own a couple barrel kits and one flatline and i love the kits, and love the flatlines range, but i cant hit a thing with it. what if the flatline was in 2 pieces, so you could insert barrel inserts. i know you wouldnt want a perfect fit, but you oculd adjust your fit to better your range and accuracy. like split it down the middle, so you could insert inserts and put it back together. i wonder how much this would cost and how much this would affect the flatliens performance.  im also working on an idea to put a 12g in a pistol and have a little valve in it so it is refillable, throwing away metal never seems like a good idea.

You have to really understand how barrel inserts work to know why they would do no good in a Flatline.

A barrel's accuracy is only determined by the first 4-5 inches of the barrel- anything beyond that is just there to allow the compressed gas behind the ball to escape before the ball exits the end of the barrel. Barrel inserts are there to make sure the first few inches have the best paint to bore match possible, which increases gas efficiency and accuracy.

The Flatline works by putting a backspin on the paintball. It does this by sending the ball down a slightly curved portion of the barrel. This forces the paintball to touch the inside of the barrel in two places: at the bottom of the curve and the top of the curve right before the ball exits the barrel. The paintball is forced to change directions twice during its trip down the barrel.

Because the Flatline has to touch the paintball before it leaves the barrel, it negates any effect that barrel inserts would have on accuracy. Barrel inserts could theoretically be used to improve gas efficiency with a Flatline, but the Flatline usually only uses one bore size of paintball, so barrel inserts would not help that much.

Inserts could be effective in an Apex to improve gas efficiency and accuracy, but the accuracy would only be improved when the Apex backspin paddle is set to zero (no spin).

It has to use smaller bore paint to make the direction changes in the barrel. Larger paint busts because it is too big to make the turns. An insert would not help. Another Flatline with a larger barrel size would work, but then you just have another barrel, not an insert or an interchangeable back piece.

buy an apex

Empire Revolver kit. Too bad they don't make it for a A5 but they do for the 98.....WHY WHY WHY??
