Ive heard that when u shoot rapid fire like with a response trigger balls burts in the flatline. Is this true? What would cause this to happen the only thing i can think of is that the gun is fireing fstare than teh balls can travel through the curved, rough, barrel.

Balls often break in flatline if the velocity is too high, but that has nothing to do with the response trigger. The only way rof would bust balls is if your outshooting your hopper.
Lots of people swear by the flatline rt a5 cuz its "the ultimate scenario/woods gun".

You heard wrong. The reason many people have problems with balls chopping is b/c they have a hopper that doesn't feed fast enough or are using bad paint. The Flatline also breaks lots of balls when it isn't all of the way into the collar(I had this problem). With a good hopper and proper installation the Flatline should give you no problems at any ROF.
As for having 2 balls in the barrel at once, even at 20bps there's about 14ft. of space between balls. I believe we once figured it at about 200bps for 2 balls in a 12in. barrel at the same time.

Yea, I have a flatline on my A-5 R/t, and it shoots fine. Just gotta keep your velocity down, and you shouldnt have any problems.
