So then the flatline barrel is a scam and physically impossible?

No, the flatline works on a principle called the magnus effect (backspin) which must be delibrately induced. Thus the extreme curvature of the barrel.

No, diffrent guns do not produce backspin. Trajectories are identical through straightbore barrels on any gun, where backspin is not induced.

velocity

it all depends on velocity I once thought other wise but butterfingers along with others changed my mind I tested it I chronoed my bros cocker and my mag to the same velocity and video taped then slowed it down on the computer they are almost Identicle and think about it it is just basic physics

thanks!!

i just want to thank everyone for the input on this thread. i didn't really expect this kind of debate but it has educated me on more than a few points. just to let you know i told my co-worker about this and he was so interested, he read the whole thing and he doesn't even play paintball. thanks again.
