Turn down your velocity to about 260-270. Use small bore paints. Make sure that your flatline is clean.

he is right if ur velocity is too high the balls will break in the barrel especially in cold weather so turn it down and clean out ur barrel

Try using your other barrel(s). If the problem keeps on, then clean your bolts and stuff.

I use my flatline with my RT and no problems occur. Check your velocity, maybe its too high and also check the paint for dimples and make sure their in good condition.

Try taking it to your local paint shop.

Na, that can't be it I've worked on my gun forever......The flatline is lined up straight as an arrow, my gun seems to double fire with the rt though......so maybe its chopping......

it doesn't matter how long you've worked with it...accidents happen so just take it to a paintball shop
