Hi everyone! Sorry to bother u guys, but im really counting on ur advises. i bought tippmann a5 with flatline, but it seems not really good for winter(weather like -5 or so on) games, also i have freak jr barrel. But the main problem which im experiencing is that after few shots paintballs explodes inside marker and barrel(quite annoying all the time clean it when u know that u even didnt use it almost at all). so i have to run and take rental tippmann 98 custom to play. I would like to know what kind of paintballs are the best in performance with flatline and with freak barrel(ye i know it depends what kind of insert do i have but steel..).

Many paintballs wont handle well in that kind of weather. I believe Draxxus makes winter-time paintballs if yo uwould want to try them.

it is like most will say the weather is probably the killer. If
it is bring your own paint, buy the best paint that you can afford,
ones made for cold weather play. Also what is the diameter of
your barrel. If you use a barrel that has a little bigger
i.d. the balls may not be as tight fitting and will probably work
better in cold weather. I have .689, .691. The .691 works
good on odd size paintballs and in cold weather but also uses a little
more air it seems.

The Flatline and Cyclone are both inherently hard on paint. You can't do much about the cyclone, but I would consider an alternative barrel in cold weather.

the best trick in cold weather is to used paint that is small enough that it seems to small for the barrel. its may roll a little bit, but this is okay, since the paintballs are going to swell in the cold.
This trick works very very very well, in fact ive played outside in -25 degrees celcius and thats bloody cold... paint ive had good experience with is diablo midnight and diablo frostbite, but you will need to check as ive never used an A5 flatline, and ive never played with a flatline in the cold... |
