So you are saying that you designed it, or are you just saying that you have one. I want to see it and know how it works.

I NEED MORE INFO.!!!!!!! LOL!!!

Hey Monk, I found the perfect picture for your sig! Sorry I didn't mean to Hijack this thread or post somthing really off topic (even though I just did). It's just that I saw this picture and thought of your avatar. It's a little bit big though, you'd have to resize it if you did use it.

Ok, you know how the ball gets a backspin right, well i took the stock bolt out and drilled 4 hole on the bottom half of were it hits the paintballs. So in turn more air is pushed out those holes/grooves I drilled. Now the more air is pushed out the mor backspin it has. The Proto type I made has one hole to far to the right so all the balls shoot a little right( I should have taken my time) If ya still can understand let me know

Actually air can do it alone, have you ever heard of a Hop-up barrel? It accomplishes the same effect a flatline has, only a hop-up barrel does it with air pressure. It has three grooves at the top of the barrel so that when you fire there is less pressure upon the top of the ball than there is on the bottom, thus creating backspin.

I wonder If I made an adjustable barrel for woods that could put a certain spin on a ball to make it curve around bunkers would people buy it?

Millslane I have put backspin on a golf ball once in my life any other time it goes about ten-twenty feet and slices so sharp I think it's comin back to me...

The top would then create more friction on the paintball, allowing backspin to occur. As long as the barrel wasn't roughed up enough to rip open the paintball, it seems like it has a chance of working. Would it lose all lateral accuracy though?

Well, there is really no way a roughed up barrel could be accurate. Besides, friction is only bad for paintballs.

A golfball gets backspin because of all the little demples(however you spell it) on it, well if you made a paintball with demples in it, wouldnt it go further? (i asked thsi question a few months ago, but i never found the topic again so yeah idk what people thought of it). The only problem i can think of with my idea is that when paintball is shot, doesn't it temperaraly(however you spell it) take the shape of a football? Tell me what you think of my idea thx

Actually this should work, and I have read that ball makers have tried. So far they have not been able to develop a method to make those dipples stay. The paintballs become smooth over storage time.  

BT already makes a barrel that you twist so it spins in different directions

looks to complicated to me. I dont like my balls curving

Dimples work by breaking suction between the ball and air so they should increase range by preventing the balls from slowing down over a long distance.  It wouldn't give the ball lift, though, like the backspin of a golfball off a golf club or a paintball out of a flatline.

Also, I attempted making the flatline bolt by actually covering up the entire top half of the front bolt by glueing a piece of plexy-glass to the inside of the bolt and sanding it to fit the curvature of a paintball.  In my testing, there was no change in range from the stock design.
