what do YOU think the next technology is?

ball moving

if yall are talking bout what I think yall are then tippmann's flatline barrel does that, it gives the ball a back spin which is good so the ball kind of "rolls" off of leaves for scenario play and has longer range, but after a certain range the ball begins to rise, kind of sailing.

but then again I might be totally off the subject

Flatlines suck, you can pretty much catch the ball in your hand by the time it gets to you. I have never had more bounces in my life then after the time I played with a guy who had a A-5 with a flatline. I would like to see smaller, higher pressure markers out there.

I have played against and with a Flatline. And it is only an optical illusion that you can catch the ball. At the extreme distances you will get many bounces. But one if the reasons it seems to float and go very slow is that the ball is going very strait and isnt wobleing at all. So all you see is a non rotating sphere going through the air. This will give you the impression that it really is floating. But I may be wrong, but I dont think I am. But we odnt want to get into a flatline thing, its not worth it. But a high pressure gun that is smaller would be nicer.
