Hi All,
I've been reading through old posts. The Z-Body looks like an interesting thing, and it prompted me to make this post. Unfortunately, any mod ( even one that can give good results ) that mean I have to switch to cocker barrels doesn't make any sense. But the concept of the z-body seems logical.
I'd been thinking about trying to find ways to generate friction that would spin the ball in a standard barrel, but thought that "someone would have done it by now" and assumed that it had been tried but just ripped the top of a paintball.. but if the Z-body does it then it must be possible.
Has anyone played around with this idea? Anybody got a Z-body? What is the friction plate like in terms of dimensions and feel? I'm tempted to try to simulate the effect tomorrow and do some testing.
It seems way too simple, but could a 1.5 inch by quarter inch strip of duct tape stuck inside a large bore barrel generate backspin?
Pssst. If this turns out to be true, let's keep it to ourselves ;-)
