Is it normal for flatline to break ball every time out? It seems like I break 4 to 5 balls each time a play. I normaly shot about 500 to 800 balls each time I play. Been useing marbs and evils and pmi prems. When I was using winter ball I never did break any but the dont break as easy when they hit someone. Just checking im new to paintball and just wanting to know if the normal. thanks |

The only time I broke a ball with my Flatline was when I went to Chrono and it was over 320 and with XBall Bronze paint. |

| Ive been using a flatline on my A5 for about a month and even though i hated to do it i have to use winter balls all the time...even though they dont break as easy i still prefer the range u get with the flatline... |

never broke a ball with my flatline on.
Do you have a electic hopper? Maybe your gun isn't feeding the balls through the gun fast enough. and then they are getting broke in that little thingy that moves everytime you shot a ball. -------------

| my palmer kind of changes the fps as low as 260 and as high as 290 i thought it was going to keep it more steady i thought + or - 5 fps. it should be broke in by now ive shot at least 3000 plus balls with it. thanks |

My bad.
It should be more consistant than that after 3000 shots. That is right around the break in period... -------------
