How bad is a ball break in a flatline anyways

not too bad, its just taking it off/squeegeeing that is the trouble...

also, since it isnt always smooth, you will get some paint stuck in the "rough imperfections"

Depends what flatline you're referring to.

The A-5 Flatline is a little harder to clean than the model 98 one.

not always. If your just doing a quick squeege during a game you can just release the feed neck and run a string squeege through it.

For that just follow what E R Y K said. A simple pull through of the squeegie will put the barrel back in action decently.

Running some warm water through it is the best way but isn't exactly readily available on the field.

I don't know if you've tried that or not, but it's actually quite hard to do that. It may be because I've not tried with the Flatline and just a normal barrel, though.

paintballs do not break in the barrel no barrel for that matter it is a week paintball that the air blows to smithereens the only reaon a ball would break in a barrel is if it was bent or was dirty


PAINT DOES NOT BREAK IN THE BARREL

if you r shooting with co2 sometimes moisture will condensate in the barrel and can cause ball break when shooting fast:cool:

the A-5 flatline is a pain to clean in a game. If you dont have anyone to cover you nearby your in trouble because it takes a LONG time to get clean, and you cant just pop the feedneck off because it has the cyclone
