| I know i seen few posts about this kind of subject but just wanted to ask you all about this.I bought an A-5 and put a lapco adapter on it to accept a Tac5 barrel I bought mainly beacuse i like the length and the added rifling inside the barrel.I have the gun set at about 270-280 fps and at bout 70 ft paint is really not very accurate and curving.Is there any adjustments or different paint to try or tips to better the accurancy of the gun.I currently use visible impact paint and someone did say to use marblizer paint.Any suggestions? |

First make sure the barrel is very clean inside. Also when you clean your gun and put oil through if you have the barrel on it will hurt the accuracy by gunking it up. If its not the cleanliness of the barrel try some different paint. I personally love RPS Premium. That all said at 70 ft the paintball prolly wont be too accurate. you have to remember that the paintball is basically a ball of oil flying through the air. Each ball has a bit of a diff shape and flies through the air differently. So that could be it too. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

280 fps should be just fine. Never heard of that barrel though. If you get sick of it though J&J and Lapco are some of the best barrels out there imo and are very low pricing. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

Never heard of a Jetline barrel either. With no fame or noteriety, it can't be that good of a barrel. -------------
