flatline curves balls because of the way the system is designed, it puts a backspin on the ball to make it travel farther. less than premium paint is imperfect so when you add a spin on a ball that's not balanced it tends to curve. just use premium paint and you wont have too much problem. it doesnt have anything to do with your air source.
i would recommend hpa anyways though because it is more stable. co2 pressure fluctuates between every shot, especially in rapid fire, so when you're shooting at a target your shot grouping will be all over the place. hpa will keep your grouping tight.
oh and running air through a remote line is pointless except for the weight loss on your marker. running co2 through a remote line actually has an advantage. the remote line acts as an expansion chamber letting the pressure balance out a bit.

Man, great post!

Ok, my oder has finally shipped! 4 - to 8 days for delivery. Does anyone here use Pay pal frequently? Does it usually take 2 weeks for funds to clear? My order wasn't anything significant (just under $500) but it was an uncomfortable feeling to have the money taken out of my account the day I placed the order and have to wait so long to have it cleared.

No big deal though, it's on it's way!!8)

I use Paypal when I buy records online and it usually takes about 4 - 5 days for the funds to clear. I've never had a problem with it and I use it fairly regularly.

Awesome. I kind of figured it was standard. This was the first time I used Paypal so it was a little funny to have the money in limbo for so long. I guess I should be used to it though with BMO's lovely holds they like to enforce on my money:suspicious:


P.S. I also ordered this Spyder Body Shield from canadapaintball.ca! It just came in today. Very nice fit, super light weight!

[CodaDrummer]

It came today!

This thing looks sick when it's all put together! It doesn't seem as heavy as I thought it would be even with the 20oz tank on it.

Ok, so I just ordered a 48ci/3000psi Pure Energy Compressed Air/Nitrogen tank. I figure that'll do me for now. What's a 48ci compared to in size? A 20oz co2?

[CodaDrummer]

Ok, scratch that question. Found the answer I was looking for.

[GSG9]

sell it and buy an invert mini imo.


speaking of which, does anybody wanna buy a fully decked out 06 octane shocker? thing fuckin rips tight ropes like crazy but i need the money.
all it has for a barrel is an SP AA. its no whisper but it does the trick.


(halo and tank not for sale)





PS methodical do you know brian with team manifest at TPG? i played a little bit with them two summers ago before i ducked out of the sport.

[neoh]

[narc]

[GSG9]
