    question about angel observation

    While my micromag was at pro-team being looked over...long story... I had an angel given to me to sub with. Does anyone else notice that when you shoot it the balls seem to curve down? It was my friends gun, and he said that every angel he ever shot did this. We were at a two man tourney, so I saw about 15 angels being used, and they all did this, under heavy fire. The balls came out fine, then seem to curve down. I've shot about everything, and I've never seen anything like that.
    My mag shoots in a direct line, like a rope. I'm not flaming angels or anything, but I just wanted to see if anyone else noticed this, or it was just the guns I shot/saw that day.

      I never had that problem with my Angels.

      Maybe you were shooting at 200 psi instead of 300.
      Just kidding.

              lol

              No, I checked with the guys who owned them , and they all said it was just something they adjusted to. Its not a major drop or anything, but its noticable if you watch the games. I liked the feel overall, but i just didn't have the rope shots, like with the mag. I did like the smooth feel though :)

                  i dont have an angel, but i do have a tribal, an agel-esque kinda gun (sorta) i notice the same thing, it definitely seems to curve down, i was using a J&J 2 piece. it seemed like i was shooting really slow, but i was chroning at 296. my minimag shot alot straighter
                  sonic tribal twister and minimag,mmmm tasty

                          I must be the first angel owner to not have that problem.

                          *usually* the dropoff can be from the sucky stock barrel which is small bore and causes more friction/drag to the paintballs causing them not to go as far. Sometimes is paint/barrel match. Also, angels arent the most consistant guns on the market (stockwise), so that *might* be some of the problem there too.

                          All I know is when I shoot a angel, then shoot my cocker, then shoot my mag, they all shoot the same as long as I use good paint and a good barrel.

                              maybe, just maybe, gravity causes them to fall?
