    Boomstick curving

    Ok I was shooting today and I had my new(to me) boomstick, that I got for christmas, and the balls were curving like they were coming out of a sideways flatline. well not that bad, I was wondering could the nubbin cause that, b/c I put in a new one just a day or so earlier. I was using Zap premium that came in my stocking so I doubt it was the best paint match, but shouldn't it still come out mostly straight? What do you think

      My boomstick hates zap paint. Make sure it wasnt dirty. Run a squeegie threw it and get some different paint.

          make sure the size of the paint is round... not oddshaped. I'm pritty sure that's the problem, either that or u broke a ball?

              I think

              I think a sideways flatline would shoot pretty straight.

                If you ever have seen a Flatline in action you would know that balls can shoot around bunkers, they have an EXTREME curve. People claim they can have it bend around a bunker and nail the guy, which I don't believe- oh well.

                  I have plenty of friends that have a Tippman with a flatline barrel and it will definitely shoot around bunkers or trees, so long as you hold the gun sideways.

                  I've seen ads for the flatline barrel for autocockers...

                  Makes me wonder what kind of effect that would have coupled with the Automag Z body since it has an adjustable backspin along with autococker threads.
