So... start a faulty argument with a faulty base fact. With the exception of the flatline which is imparting spin on a different axis I do not beleive that any spin on a paintball (which Tom's camera testing seemed to indicate was minimal at best) is imparted by the barrel - in fact I beleive (again based on the PICTURES and explanation of testing that TK has shown us) that paintballs do not have an appreciable spin on them when in flight. I assert that any spin that happens to be there is due to air fluctuations, an error in ball construction (paint on one side of instance), or some other factor not related to the barrel. So I would argue that most people do not know that barrels do impart spin on a paintball.
