everytime i seem to go my gun seems to curve every paintball i shoot in
any direction (up,down,left,right). What can i do so it shoots
straight. I have a flatline, and a J&J ceremic and a egrip
for my A5. is it that both my barrels are secrewd up. or is
it that my velocety is not right(i usually keep it around 260-280) Thanks in advance |

If this was only the Flatline I would completely understand. It is a piece of crap unless you have it installed right, clean, small bore paint and good velocity. Then you just hasve to be plain lucky. You sound unlucky BillyBob, since the J&J is broken also. First I would CLEAN your barrels. Then I would make sure that your velocity is really what you think it is. Next I would see if your shooting decent fresh paint for your barrels. After that, I would check if you have pressure regulation problems on your marker. If it still doesn't work, I would suggest you learn to aim and hold steady. Bench your marker, and at a fixed target see if your groups open up. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

The problem almost certinetly lies in those two areas. Take your barrel and run water through it for about 1 min.
Next, soak it in warm soapy water for another 2 min and then rise it
out again for a min and rinse off the outside. Take a cotton
ball, soak it in dishwashing soap and run it through your barral, then
rinse out THOUROGHLY. Dry by running a cloth through the barrel
many times, then rinse and dry again. Let is sit one end up
overnight on a paper towel and run the cloth through again to be sure
its dry. Also, clean out your breech and hopper elbow while you are at it. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

Like they said, it is not the barrel itself, but either the paint, something on the paint, or something in the barrel. If the barrel is installed wrong, they will all curve one way. Also velocity can make balls act irradically. -------------

| the field paint is draxxus Blaze i think i know its blaze also its not the velocity, and i clean my barrels the way you mentioned after every use. I dont have time on the field to rinse them out, over and over again i just squegge it and than wash it out at lunch. I think it might be the air flow should i get a stabelizer? |

i think you would be able too i dont see why not just make sure none of the internals are in it and make sure you dry it off completly when you are done. -------------

If none of that works, get the inside of your flatline sandblasted, thats what tippmann does to them to clean them. it will work wonders. ------------- Hey, didn't I see you riding the short bus, wearing a helmet, and licking the windows?
